Default In the last 4 years has anyone faced tougher competition than...
...Forrest Griffin? His opponents over the last 4 years, in order, are Tito, Bonnar, Jardine, Hector Ramirez, Shogun, Rampage, Rashad, Anderson Silva and Tito again...with Lil Nog on tap for the near future. We always say we want to see the best fight the best and I don't think ANYONE in the last few years comes close with constantly fighting top competition..not to mention in that span he was able to actually win the LHW belt. Gotta respect the man for always challenging himself. What are your thoughts..who besides Forrest has been always in their with the big dogs or deserves to be in the discussion for hardest past few years?

Jardine: bonnar, gouveia, Forrest, Houston, chuck, wandy, Vera, rampage, thiago silva

o even rampage: chuck, hendo, Forrest, wandy, jardine, n now Evans

with the lhw division being very stacked, each fighter is facing top competition every fight soo it's not shocking. Outside of lhw I would say it's Penn n gsp

GSP IMO has faced better then anyone:
Hughes (2x), Penn (2x), Serra (2x), Koscheck, Fitch and Alves. Outside of Serra every guy was either a Top 5 WW or a Top 10 P4P and sometimes both. And Serra is still a tough guy and probably on the cusp of being a Top 10 WW.

I was just going to say Jardine has a pretty nice list of competition.

I dont want to take anything away from Forrest but I will go with GSP as well. He cleaned the WW division and did so by beating BJ and Hughes twice.

Tossup between Jardine, Big Nog and Hendo IMO. GSP's had a pretty steep set of challengers too and let's not neglect Mark Hunt.

I'd have to go Big Nog or Randy.

Big Nog: Kiyoshi Tamura, Zuluzinho, Fabricio Werdum, Josh Barnett (2x in a row) Heath Herring, Tim Sylvia, Frank Mir, Randy Couture

Randy: Chuck Liddell, Tim Sylvia, Gonzaga, Brock Lesnar, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Brandon Vera.

I hate to be that guy....but if you made it five years....I might have to be that guy....

Fedor: Coleman, Randleman, Ogawa, Antonio Rodrigo Noguira (2x in a row), Kohsaka, CroCop, Zulu, Coleman again, Mark Hunt, Matt Lindlan, Hong Man Choi, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski, Brett Rogers

Anderson Silva without a doubt, 100 percent has faced the most difficult opponents over the past 4 years.

Forrest has never had an easy fight in his life.

IMO, Travis Lutter, Cote and Leites are not the "most difficult" of opponents in comparison to some of these other fighter's level of competition.

Unless you were being sacastic....
