well i say in prime days bruce lee and mike tyson there were fearful
now i say the best fighter out there is shaolinh monks they have deadly combination with there skill they can break your spine make u paralise in one inch i seen the documentrie very deadly....
I think that everyone here has made very good remarks about who they think the best fighter is. Bruce lee and Jet Li are great fighters, and most ppl on here are only going by the fighters they heard of. There are some many martial art fighters out there that dont want to be known, and would wipe the floor with any of the mentioned fighters. The founder of kyoukshin for example could kill a bull with a single strike to the head. Then there are the ppl who do Ninjutsu who are the most well rounded fighters in the world in unarmed and armed combat. I would like to see ppl like Rampage and Lindell take on Hatsumi.
Hatsumi would get mauled by Rampage or Liddell. Even if we assume he is as skilled as Rampage or Liddell, the guy is about to turn 77 if I'm not mistaken. He couldn't physically keep up with either of those guys.
Tim was disrespecting Fedor a few years back, calling him "little shit". Fedor as always, calm, humble, and all class. the guy is champion and undefeated for a reason.
hopefully we see either Arlovski or Barnett vs Fedor.

You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. And the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we...are the cure.
I can't believe people are saying Bruce Lee. He has zero fights at the professional level. He has only four amateur fights. Get real, the guy is an actor. People are so gullible.
As for best "fighter" it's a hard thing to say.
p4p (imo)...
Striking: probably Dieselnoi, Apidej, or Payakaroon.
Submission Grappling: Rickson Gracie, Roger Gracie, or Ricardo Arona
Best overall: Anderson Silva.
Of course there is almost certainly some guys out there who have no interest in competitive martial arts who could beat any of the best fighters out there. You'll just never know about them.
I don't think any of those three could outstrike modern K-1 top tiers. In their prime, guys like Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, or Andy Hug should beat them.
Pure grappling is too hard to call at the moment. There are far to many good grapplers out there. I'd pick Nogueira in an MMA/ValeTudo environment though.
As for best overall, I think Fedor is pretty much the greatest until proven otherwise at this point. Recently, Silva has dominated, but he's still been defeated. Fedor hasn't.

I would say it is Brock Lesner. He has proved his ability in Wrestling, the UFC and MMA...a true athlete with loads of stamina and fitness. I have seen this guy perform and I would undoubtedly say he is the best fighters. Mike Tyson and Evender Hollyfield comes in net.
Fedor is probably the best now, but if Shogun can recover I think he will become the greatest in time. He has great potential to go along with his already developed skills.
Can't wait. Should be a legendary fight. But it'll probably get pushed back from December.
It's good the UFC is finally coming out with some quality contenders, instead of having Liddell sit on top and get his ass kicked by the first real challenge.
I can't believe I just saw Rickson's name brought up. And really, it's got to be Fedor. And yeah, I remember Tim Sylvia saying "Bring on Fedor!" a couple years ago. But props to Timmay, at least he actually went through with it and fought Fedor. As for Lesnar, not even close. Although I will say one thing. I find it scary to think about how good he could be right now if he didn't waste all those years in WWE. If Brock would have went straight to MMA after wrestling in college, who knows what he could be right now.
