If there were any suggestions you would like to add to the list, please let me know.
-
1
- Davey Grant
- "Dangerous"
- 13-7-0
-
Davey favors Wide Rear Hooks, one of the riskiest attacks a striker can throw. He also has generally awkward standup and posture that leave his chin very open.
-
2
- Donald Cerrone
- "Cowboy"
- 36-17-0, 2 NC
-
The most obvious pick. Despite being a multiple title challenger and an exceptional veteran of the sport, he has always been held back by his consistent weaknesses, such as body shots.
-
3
- Evan Dunham
- 18-9-1
-
Despite his lack of relevancy, Dunham was at one point, a legitimately dangerous ranked prospect with great jiu-jitsu, but held back by sloppy brawling habits and weakness to body shots.
-
4
- Johnny Walker
- 21-8-0, 1 NC
-
Explosive, powerful, and surprisingly varied it attacks, but crippled by poor fight IQ and a weak bottom game.
-
5
- Michael Johnson
- "The Menace"
- 22-19-0
-
A Dark Horse, and a One Trick Pony, Michael has great boxing skills and some incredible wins on his resume, but was unable to adapt to better grapplers and has more all rounded strikers.
-
6
- Neil Magny
- "Haitian Sensation"
- 29-11-0
-
Neil's career is a mess, full of massive upsets and embarrassing beatdowns. Whether or not Neil can win against a top 15 opponent is a flip of a coin.
-
7
- Anthony Pettis
- "Showtime"
- 25-14-0
-
It really comes down to Anthony's opponent. He is capable of defeating anyone who respects his range, but due to his honestly crap boxing skills, Pettis falls apart quickly against brawlers.
-
8
- Niko Price
- "The Hybrid"
- 15-7-0, 2 NC
-
A fan favorite, but a messy one. Niko has had multiple chances to get at the top 15, but failed due to an insistence on standing with better strikers than take advantage of his underrated BJJ.
-
9
- Kelvin Gastelum
- 18-9-0, 1 NC
-
He can go from a near world destroyer capable of giving a world class kickboxer his first L in the standup, then get heel hooked by a guy whom should be out of his league.
-
10
- Kevin Holland
- "Trailblazer"
- 25-11-0, 1 NC
-
Great Standup, Awful Grappling.
