|  MMA Brothers
Hey everyone
Just finished watching an interview with Bendo mentioning the Diaz brothers and it got me thinking of when they first started and how far along they have come.
Just wondering who everyone thinks which set of brothers has made the biggest names for themselves..... ala emelianenko bros, rua bros, nogueira bros, diaz bros (i know the gracie family may be on another level). Just curious what everyone else thinks.

Well, Matt and Mark Hughes of course haha.
Nah, seriously, the Nogueira brothers.
EDIT: What about Evangelista and Cris? They're brothers right?

In MMA probably the Nogs. Though the Diaz brothers are pretty impressive too.
In general, by far the Klitschkos are the most succesful brothers in the history of combat sports.

Over all impact you got to go with the Nog's. Outside of the ring/cage they have done way more than any other brothers. Team Nogueira has been known as a top camp for a long time.

Agreed, Nogueira probably. Shamrocks are pretty well known too I would say.

I would say the brothers who have been best for MMA in general are the Fertittas. As far as athletes competing in MMA, its the Nog's no question.

The Nogueiras or the Shamrocks. I might even lean towards the Shamrocks.
If only Aleksander managed to dig into his full potential at some point (too late now obviously). They would have been right on top.

I always look at Royce and Rickson first then the Ruas, Nogueiras, Shamrocks and Diaz Brothers.
