Top 10 P4P Brazilian Fighters? 

Post#1 » by AirCanadaMouse » Sat Jun 3, 2017 7:34 am

In honour of UFC 212 tonight, I was thinking about this and was curious how everyone's top 10 would look for P4P BRAZILIAN fighters? I think Silva is the unanimous number one selection, but it gets interesting after that. I personally value Aldo more than Big Nog (I think Aldo might even be P4P top 5 all time), but would like to see what you guys think!

Not really in order (but not not in order either?)

Anderson
Aldo
Big Nog
Werdum
Wandy
Shogun
Machida
Belfort
Royce (actual P4P probably not, but just all-time greatest Brazilian fighters, I guess)
Kinda want to give it to a smaller guy...Barao?

Other possibilities: JDS, Maia, Alves, Jacare, Arona

Good call. At least for honorable mention.

Weird, because I actually thought about putting a woman on the list, but didn't think Nunes had the resume. Even considered Gadelha, but Cyborg didn't cross my mind.
