Tank Abbot is the best UFC fighter, right?
130007
Tank Abbot never held an UFC title, but still gained some popularity for his attitude and unique fighting style. His MMA record is currently 9-11-2, which is not too impressive. He also was a professional wrestler for a short time, working for WCW for a short time.

He wouldn't get far at all with just his boxing skills in the UFC. He is by far the greatest pound-for-pound boxer in the sport right now, but he can't just win with his hands in the UFC. And unless he has good take down defense and an unbelievable chin like Chuck Liddell, then he would have no chance. He would definitely have to get a ground game to survive.

I agree with a lot of what you said except three things:\n\n1st- Shut up and get in the ring before choosing to be completely disrespectful of the person who gets in the ring and has fought hard to get to the point where he is. No question about it; He did get the title. Tim Sylvia has heart and determination but not the natural ability. His time is growing short. \n\n\n2nd - Brandon Vera is easily the next heavyweight champion. Vera is the total package with speed, power, and unbelievable ground game and so versatile on his feet. Watch his fight with Fabiano Scherner. He switched leads and stances about every 4 seconds with incredible footwork. One of his coach's, Lloyd Irvin is one of the best in the training business.  \n\nHis recent defeats are all considered at the top of the division:\n Win Frank Mir TKO (Strikes) --- Former Heavyweight Champion\n Win Assuerio Silva Submission (Guillotine Choke)\n Win Justin Eilers KO (Kick and Knee)\n Win Fabiano Scherner TKO (Knees)\n Win Mike Whitehead TKO (Injury)\n\nand let's keep in mind that Vera is young. He is a bit cocky but still very respectful.\n\n3rd Please post-read your typing. People are friggin driving me crazy while we try and decipher others writings because of missed words, misspelled words, punctuation and capitalization. It takes the same about of time to do it correctly. Come on now. \n\nIt amazes me how lazy people are getting. To lazy to type correctly.

i'd have to give the nod to pretty boy floyd. his combanation of speed and the added power cannot be matched at this time. look at his destruction of got-ti, and he hurt his right hand in the baldomir fight. i even give him the win against golden boy in may. floyd has no competition. the only thing that can beat floyd is floyd

fujita showed that fedor is somewhat human, and i say somewhat because any other human would have taken the fish dance to the next level and fallen, except maybe mark hunt. coleman and randleman showed that he can be taken down. and heath herring and big nog showed that a little heart can go a long way. fedor WILL NOT lose in pride under pride fc rules. and by this i mean, in the ufc, rules favor the wrestler where a takedown and a stall can win u a fight. whereas in pride, the fighter thats active will win the fight and stalling gets a yellowcard. and fedor NEVER stalls. i think a PRIME ricco rodriguez could have beaten fedor in the ufc buy taking him down and just laying and praying for dear life... but that was four years ago. also, back in 2000 a lotf of people felt that arona should have won the fight, but that was in an reorganization that didnt allow shots to the head while on the ground

I have to correct you on this one. RAMPAGE is no longer a Pride fighter. He has recently signed a contract with WFA (Lindland has as well) and this fight is going to take place on their show on July 22.\n\nNow as far as the match is concerned I think that this is going to be one extremely up hill, if not even impossible, battle for Matt Lindland. He's fighting above his natural weight class and against Quinton of all people who is by far physically strongest and most powerful fighter at 205. I think that Quinton is also more experienced then Matt because he has had a lot more fights against top level competition (Silva, Liddell, Shogun, Ninja, Arona, Vovchanchyn, Randelman, Sakuraba, Bustamante...)\nThey are both excellent fighters but in the end i really expect Quinton's power to be overwhelming for Matt and I see him as a winner by a TKO or a very very convincing decision.

Since non of the people you requested are answering I'll give you my opinion.\nThis would have been very hard match to call. They were both great fighters, (Coleman still is among the very best - I don't know if you know but he recently beat Mauricio Shogun Rua, hurt him quite badly too), with similar background skills. Both of them were extremely strong, powerful and explosive so no advantages for either one there. I think that Kerr's striking was a bit more advanced but I honestly don't believe that Mark Coleman would keep this fight (or any other fight for that matter standing for too long). In my opinion Coleman's wrestling and his groundwork were just slightly ahead of Kerr's and this would have probably been most important factor. So in the end i see Coleman as a winner by a very close decision or maybe even match ending in a draw.

Winky by decision. His defense is the best and he is a very smart fighter.

The best pound per pound boxer is Manny "the PACMAN" Pacquiao..not that i am a Filipino but he has proven his worth!!!\n\nSince pacman out-punch M.A. Barrera, he was dazzled by manny's   combination of punches and unorthodox style, barrera was no match for Pacquiao skills, it is like beating your younger brother.\n\nAlso he made E. Morales kiss the canvas for the first time..morales was brutaly beaten,swollen face and bloody nose..another round would be a goodbye for morale's  boxing carrer. Another rematch for morales v.s pacquiao III is too much.\n\nThanks to his great Trainer "Fredie Roach" and his co-sparing team in Los Angeles California.\n\n"Manny is the BEST boxer in the league today...so watch out for great Manny..July 2, 2006 ---Oscar "CHOLOLO" Larios (Mexican) v.s. Manny "The Pacman"Pacquiao" at the Araneta Cubao, Manila, Philippines.\n\nMABUHAY ANG PINOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's in great shape, and a well rounded fighter.  He has good ground skills and can win with submissions or with his strikes.  He's very good, but I'd still bet on Matt Hughes.

Santana stole my thunder, Brent stole my lightning!  I have a similar opinion of Santana's with regard to Mayweather's person, unfortunately no one can deny that his skills are on a different level than that of hatton.  \nOn a seperate note, I've watched fighters like Mayweather evolve.  They don't start out all arrogant and cocky.  They start at the bottom like everyone else.  You get a few belts and everyone telling you that you're pfp the best in the sport, I guess the arrogance comes with it.  I mean, no one can kick your butt, you get paid and endorsed to kick everyone elses butt, so I guess you slowly develop a chip (or in Floyd's case, a 2x4) on your shoulder....\n     Maybe one of these days we'll see a champion with humility and grace.  But we won't hold our breath, will we.....

I'm from Croatia and Mirko is by far my favorite fighter too and I think that along side Fedor he is at the moment the best MMA fighter in the world. \n\nI am convinced that by the end of PRIDE open weight grand prix in September Mirko will prove this statement right. After he beats Yoshida in quarterfinals next week he will most likely get the chance to take on Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira once again and show who the better fighter is (Mirko lost that match in 2003 due to one single error and his inexperience on the ground and there is no way he'll get submitted like that now), and maybe even a rematch against Hunt (if he passes Josh Barnett). But just for the record Mirko already beat Hunt in K-1 so they are 1-1 at the moment. I'm sure that Mirko will take this tournament in the end and earn the right to get Emelianenko in the ring one more time.\n\nFight Fan already gave all the statistics so i won't write about that.\n\nI think that it would be very interesting to see Mirko face UFC's Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski and take them apart just to show all these bias, ignorant UFC "fans" who really know nothing about MMA what real heavyweight fighters are all about.\nAnd one more thing - there is no way that Chuck Liddell would do anything except get knocked out against Mirko. Mirko is a lot better kickboxer, far more powerful and explosive then Chuck and his ground game at this moment is just as good if not even better. If they were to have a match I'd pick Mirko by KO or TKO within 5 minutes.\n\nSo in the end I can only say once more that I'm very much looking forward to seeing the end of this year's PRIDE OWGP and hopefully seeing Mirko as a winner and in the ring with Fedor on December 31 one more time to decide who the PRIDE champion and the best MMA heavyweight in the world is.

I love it.  I dont think my hubby and me have missed a pay per view.  I wish we had more friends into it to invite over on fight night.  I cant wait until the new season starts of the ufc series.  My favorite all time fighter has to be Ken Shamrock.

yes he is. he is fast and very skilled which fortunately backs up his mouth. cotto was just too strong for him. i dont even think he belongs in that weight (referring to cotto) , he should be in middleweight

I wouldnt pay much to watch this one, wouldnt be too many punches thrown here. Well not many landed anyway. I would say probably Whitaker SD at 147. I think he was a slightly better Welter, i think PBF might take it at a lower weight.\n\nDo you rate Whitaker above Hagler ?\n\nThat has really surprised me, i rate sweet pea quite highly but not in the same league as Hagler for me, but i guess that is down to a difference in opinion over fighting styles. I know that you like the way PBF fights so obviously you would rate Pernell Very highly as well. I have always been more into the brawlers so therefore Hagler is right up there for me. My favourite fighter of all time.\n\nIf hes your favourite fighter of alltime how can you rate somebody above him as a better boxer your contradicting yourself, i think you have just decided to be argumentative. I also know he wasnt an out and out brawler as per say but what i was trying to say was that he got involved a lot more than the two fighters you had mentioned above who fight going backwards.\n\nThe way that i think you could look at this is that Hagler would be in virtually everybodys top ten all time where as Sweet Pea might only make it into most peoples top twenty, i presume you will disagree.\n\nTherefore i dont want to argue about what you have said i will ask the question and we might be able to draw some conclusions from the answers. I know its only a difference of opinion so neither of us are right and neither of us are wrong but i would like to see what everybody else thinks.

I agree. I think Shogun is the better of the two, and he is ranked higher than Weinderlai on MMA Weekly. Rua won last year's Grand Prix, and Silva lost in the second round. Hopefully they will square off, despite both coming out of Chute Box. Shogun will win because he has cleaner standup, whereas Weinderlai constantly flurries. Shogun also has won several fights by submission, whereas the champ only has one submission victory (rear naked choke). Hopefully they will run into eachother in one of the open weight tournaments and we can get a non-hypothetical answer to this question.
