I agree with a lot of fighters everyone else is mentioning, especially Frank Shamrock, BJ Penn, Fedor, GSP...

I think the UFC 30's-era Caol Uno was pretty well rounded too. I know he's not really a contender right now, but if you watch his BJ Penn and Jens Pulver fights, you'll see what I mean.

Also, the young Vitor Belfort was pretty well rounded. He destroyed guys with his punching, but there was also that fight against a BJJ guy, I think they were friends, so they only did BJJ, no striking. I was pretty impressed by Vitor in that fight. I guess that doesn't say anything about Vitor's *wrestling* skills tho...
