The question is who can do it all, Wrestling, Judo, BJJ, Boxing, Teakwondo, Kickboxing or Muay Thai. The list goes on and on....

Who combined all Martial Arts to the best game?

Who's the most well rounded fighter?

I'm suprised to see Jones this high. If we talk skill wise at least , not result wise. GSP should be nr.1. He is good everywhere. Fedor was there but is slowing down.

@norbar. Jones outstruck Shogun and Rampage, he's outwrestled everyone he's faced and has some of the nastiest chokes in the divison. Clearly a well rounded fighter.

prolly gonna be a battle between GSP and JBJ, i've got JBJ on top cause of his ability to stop fights. GSP didn't show that skill in his recent fights.

1. GSP
2. JBJ
3. Fedor
4. Frankie Edgar
5. BJ Penn

No way should anyone be ahead of GSP imo. Doesn't matter if you finish, what matters is the competition you face and how you use it to win. They are two different fighters, JBJ is a finisher, GSP sits back and outpoints you, they use their abilities in different ways. GSP has been doing it longer, outstriking solid strikers, out wrestling better wrestlers and out grappling better grapplers imo. If we are not talking about winners, and top fighters, then I would throw Brandon Vera in there, with his Greco, Muay Thai and grappling ability.

GSP and its not particularly close.  Jon Jones, Couture and Bas Rutten were also extremely well-rounded MMA fighters.

I don't quite understand how more people don't have Rashad on their list? Where exactly is his weakness?

How could anyone put Nick Diaz into well rounded. Have you seen him wrestle?

Have you seen his striking? Have you seen his cardio? Have you seen his Jiu Jitsu? I think there is a pretty good argument that Nick is well rounded
