Top 10 p4p mma!!!

who does evryone think is top 10 in mma...here's mine...

1. Georges St. Pierre (1): My early prediction is that St. Pierre vs. Shields will result in three more 50-45 scorecards. Some fans might find that boring, but I couldn't be more excited about it.

2. Jose Aldo (2): It's a shame that Aldo's back injury will keep him off the UFC's January 1 card. The biggest thing that separates Aldo from the other two top fighters in the sport. St. Pierre and Silva, is that Aldo just hasn't gotten the exposure yet. That exposure is coming soon, but not as soon as we all hoped.

3. Anderson Silva (3): If he gets past Vitor Belfort in February we'll hear more calls for Silva to face St. Pierre. That would be great, but the UFC seems more interested in keeping the middleweight challenges coming for Silva, including likely rematches with Yushin Okami and Chael Sonnen.

4. Shogun Rua (4): After another long recovery from another knee injury, Rua is getting ready to return in March. I hope we see the Shogun of old, but when you're dealing with a 29-year-old who has already lost significant chunks of his career to multiple knee injuries, you start to wonder how soon he's going to slow down.

5. Dominick Cruz (6): His fighting style is different from St. Pierre's, but Cruz reminded me of GSP in his 50-45, 50-45, 50-45 win over Scott Jorgensen. I don't think he'll have such an easy time with Urijah Faber in the first UFC bantamweight title fight, though.

6. Frank Edgar (5): The 13-1 Edgar gets a chance to avenge his only career loss when he steps into the Octagon with Gray Maynard on January 1. If Edgar wins, it will be the start of a big year that will also include a title defense against Anthony Pettis. If Edgar loses, however, I'd love to see him move down to featherweight with an eye toward challenging Aldo.

7. Cain Velasquez (8): The heavyweight champ showed against Brock Lesnar that he has the skill and technique to beat a much larger man. Next he'll have to show against Junior dos Santos that he can handle an opponent who's his own size but may have a better stand-up arsenal.

8. Joseph Benavidez (10): Why Benavidez? Because he's the sport's only elite fighter who's forced to fight in a division above his natural weight. Benavidez should really be fighting at 125 pounds, but until the UFC adds flyweights he's stuck at 135 -- and doing very well there. He's 13-2 in his MMA career, dominating every one of his 13 wins while fighting almost exclusively bigger opponents. His only losses are to Cruz.

9. Lyoto Machida (7): Machida holds onto his spot in the Top 10 after a split decision loss to Rampage Jackson in a fight that I scored for Machida. After three straight lackluster performances, he'll need to look like the Machida of old in his next fight to stay in the Top 10.

10. Rashad Evans (9): Evans finally has a date for his next fight, March 19 against Shogun Rua. Standing up Evans is no match for Shogun, but if Evans has a smart game plan, I could see him using his superior wrestling to re-take the light heavyweight title

i currently have aldo as #1, dude is the fastest fighter out there. absolutely dangerous

yeah hes really good for me it was a toss up but i had to go with gsp

I'm still in the air on how i feel about p4p lists, but Bones muthafuckin Jones!

Shinya Aoki is my number one.

Your kidding right? He can be your favorite fighter, but he is not well rounded enough. He's badass, but no.

I'm not a expert on jose aldo but i certainly know a lot about gsp and that guy i must say is the most dedicated man i have ever seen. he didn't even wrestle in collage or high school and is arguably the best wrestler in mma. some say its because wrestling in mma and roman are different this may be true. But in my opinion he is dedicated to all aspects of mma his striking, take downs, and jiu jitsu is awesome and i think we are going to see more and more people that have to master all aspects to even contend at the armature levels. we se this in most all the champions like cain valasquez. in the future years your gunna have to be a black belt in mma to be a contender.

Defiantly not GSP. There is a reason why the gloves are not padded like boxing, why it is not 15 rounds, why you can hit a downed opponent, why there are submissions and why there is not 8 count. Because MMA is a finishing sport. On the feet, ground and pound submission whatever but finishing the opponent is the ultimate goal of this sport. Now the extreme influx of wrestlers the sport got derailed a bit, and that is mostly because of the unupdated scoring system but I am not going to go there here. Overall GSP is definitely not in my P2P or whatever. The guy has trouble finishing opponents. He knows how to beat them, but he does not know how to finish them. He did finish some fights and he may finish someone else in the future, but that would not prove my thesis on this subject wrong. Overall GSP is a decision man.

Anderson Silva and Jose Aldo on the other hand are both amazing and probably sit on top of the P2P chart. I would still rate Fedor up there also since losing one fight to a triangle again should not drop you from what you truly are and unless Fedor also get's TKO'ed by big foot he is gonna stay there. It is too early for Cain Velasquez but he has the potential to be up there for a long time. I also think, if given the opportunity Overeem would destroy about every other HW in the world.

He doesn't HAVE to be well rounded, that is the crazy part about him. He can destroy anyone on the ground. To be one dimensional and tear people apart like he has is phenominal. Just imagine if he became a k-1 level striker.

Way to heavy with UFC guys

well ufc has the best fighters lol

I'm wondering how BJ Penn isn't in this list? Sure, he's had some bumps in the road, but imo, he is still one of the best in the world, and is also my personal favorite fighter ever.
