I know everyone got their fav fighters but i would like to know who they think are the top 10 Pound for Pound mma in the world.

1. Fedor. can't debate it, he only lost once in his career and he has fough the best of the best. I see him retiring with only 1 loss in his career.

2. Anderson. if it wasn't for wanderlei he would have been the last MW champ of pride. Has also beat the best MWs out there. Unless he gets caught by a punch, i dont see anyone beating him. looking forward to see him go against fast puncher belfort and super fights against LHW and maybe GSP.

3. GSP. Beat hughes for the title, lost to serra after a tko but has been on rampage since. curious to see how he deals with a fast puncher.

4. Lyoto. He always comes up with great game plans and executes them well, very well. So much that after going 16-0, only Shogun was able to see holes in his games and take advantage of it. I'm really looking forward for the rematch and see how Lyoto fixes his mistakes.

5. Jose Aldo. known in brasil as little anderson, he is only 23 and is already a champ beating mike brown who a lot of people think was unbeatable. He has excellent stand up and great bjj. has a great future ahead of him. training with lyoto, nog brothers, feijao and anderson will only keep on making him an amazing fighter.

6. BJ Penn. 30 Years old and still a champ in the most active and amazing division in the world right now. BJ has a record of 14-5-1. His only losses coming to gsp, hughes, machida and pulver all great fighters who were at the peak at their games. Has very bendable legs but is known for tiring out after later rounds and doing his all when at practice. Very curious to see how he deals with the fast and powerful fighter Diego Sanchez and i wonder how he will come back if he ends up losing the fight.

7. Gerard Mousasi. Excellent stand up and sick ground game and at only 24 years old has already beaten cyborg, kang, manhoef, jacare, hunt, babalu and soko. He has fought at MW, LHW and HW. Trained with Fedor. When he runs through everyone in strikeforce, he will be in the ufc and wrecking havoc. I would love to see him fight Anderson and Lyoto.

8. John Fitch. Personally I don't like the guy but his record of 19-3 is amazing. If we don't count his loss to gsp this year, we could say he has been in a winning streak since 2002. I am patiently waiting for a rematch against Alves and to see him go against shields.

9. Rashad. Whether you like him or not you gotta respect his 13-1-1 record. He went from a background of wrestling to developing really great stand up skills and incredible KO power, just ask Chuck and Salmon. Won the TUF fighting against the huge HW in the show and has become a huge star himself being a former champion. looking forward to his war with thiago silva and rampage.

10. Mike Thomas Brown. The man was on a row after beating the fan favorite U. Faber 2x, capturing the title and going on a 10 win streak. Def looking forward to seeing him fight again specially after losing the title. Just wondering against who since he ran through the 145 division on WEC.

I'm not Machida's biggest fan, but you'd think he'd be at number 1. They guy is the only 'real' top 10 undefeated MMA fighter/champion in all of MMA. Now I'm not debating that Fedor isn't as great as people claim, because as much as I'm not his biggest fan neither, the man is a great fighter, but he isn't actually undefeated, now is he?

Well, if not number 1 then Machida definitely deserves the number 2 slot. Anderson Silva haven't fought anybody that's somebody in a long ass while. His last few opponents (not Henderson and Marquardt) was nothing more than moving punching bags. I'm a huge Cote fan so it was hard to call him a moving punching bag. The rest of that list sounds about right, though. I guess.

Machida wouldn't make my top 3.

Fedor/GSP/Silva - tbh you can make good arguments for all 3 being in that top section. Personally I would take Fedor - As essentially he is undefeated. An illegal elbow that causes a cut and only wasn't a DQ because they needed some1 to continue in the tournament hardly counts as a loss in my book.

Shogun could easily make that list if he continues to show the kind of form he did vs Machida.

Hard topic to answer here. The top three could all be deserving! No questioning Fedors record, he's beat everyone they've put infront of him! But you can debate the true quality of his opponents. Anderson Silva is amazing. He hasnt been challanged as of late, he has tons of upsides. GSP has dominated everyone he's faced, and avenged (easily) and loss he's had. I think He has competed more truely against the best in his weight class (compared to that of Fedor), and while he's lost, he proved that it was a fluke. Machida is impressive, but after watching the Shogun fight I'd hardly call him the only true "undefeated" champ. He should have one loss, and he wasnt super impressive with his win over Tito either. For me I would have to go GSP, Fedor and Anderson.....but it's all too close to call

Isn't Machida that karate guy that got whooped in his last fight and then given a gift from fellow karate black belt, cecil peoples? This is the guy that should be ranked #1 PFP? Isn't Anderson Silva the guy who just went up a weight class and embarrassed the guy who was the LHW champ about a year ago? This is the guy that you think beats on tomato cans? Oh and you're talking about Fedors lost where he was in a tournament and had a cut from the fight prior and the guy ended up throwing an illegal blow opening up the cut again in the beginning of the fight and because it was a tournament, they had to say he lost because he couldn't move on even though Fedor demolished this man when he actually got to fight him later on?

I hope you were joking, sir.

My top ten list:
keep in mind I just quickly rattled these off inside my head. I am Canadian and that would seem like a Bias opinion putting Gsp as number one, but I do believe he deserves it.. Then again...I have Russian background too. hhhmmm. Either way the top 2 spots can be switched around without too much of an arguement. The last five can drop off anytime.

1-GSP
2-Fedor
3-BJ Penn
4-A Silva
5-Mousasi
6-Machida
7-Shields
8-Aldo
9-Shogun
10-Aoki

[Heavyweight770]

Miguel Torres anyone???

[Robbiev]

Is machida really drinking urine? What's with that?

[jits_man]

p4p best is anderson based on the fact no one pushes him in the least he wins all his fights with out ? . and i almost think he could beat fedor because there is no way in hell fedor lands a punch on anderson like he did against bret.

[buzzkill]

GSP- has only fought the top guys in the division neither Fedor or Anderson can say that. Also Fedor fights with special rules for half of his fights. Loyoto has a claim fighting a lot of good guys, even with his lost to shogun, ( everyone has their kryptonite) if you minus the losses he's got in welter weight, you got to think BJ Penn is right now the best P4p fighter. he really is the definition of the word P4P cuz if he weight in at 250lbs would there be anyone that could stop him?
1.GSP
2.Penn
3.Anderson
4.LMachida
