Who is the MMA Pound-for-Pound King?

Who really is the best MMA fighter out there? Some will make the case that Anderson ‘Spider’ Silva is. It is an understatement to say that he dominates everyone he faces in the Octagon. He made the number one middleweight contender Rich Franklin look silly in their last two fights.

Fedor Emelianenko makes his case as top MMA fighter because he has never lost a match. That one loss was a no-contest. Even when it seems that he is losing a match, he finds a way to devastate his opponent. In his last match against Arlovski, Fedor was getting his ass whooped. But in a wink of an eye, Fedor sneaked in a super punch to knock Arlovski out.

How about Georges St. Pierre? His recent win over BJ Penn has erased any doubts that GSP has the skills and technique to match the best fighters in the UFC. The only blemish that tarnishes that win over Penn was that his body was greased up in Vaseline. In a sport like MMA, the slightest grease on the body could mean a missed chance for a submission move. With Vaseline or not, Penn still had no answer for GSP’s size, skill and strength.

These three fighters are the best in the business.
