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.

Anyone seen FEDOR v. Tim Sylvia? FEDOR IS THE MAN!!!! 36sec choked out TIM!
Karma is a *****.
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.
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.

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.

if you combine GSP with Silva, you'd get the perfect fighter that could defeat Fedor.same with combining Nogueira with Barnett.
Fedor's style of fighting is simply adapting to his opponents style. you just never know how he is going to approach a fight.
Seriously though, I sometimes think that if GSP was larger, he might be able to take Fedor.
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.
