Top 5 MMA Fighters of All Time..

To many factors play into the fact that I cant seem to make a list with 5 full guys. I get to about 3 and then I just get flustered, and most of them were already mentioned.

This topic should be narrowed down. I dont agree with most of the things Reavant said, and mainly just because they way he said everything, I cant totally disagree either. MMA 15 years ago and MMA today are 2 different sports. However, saying that Royce is not an MMA fighter is fucking dicktarded because regardless of when it was and what style he was using, it was still MMA. You said it yourself, he went out and used a style that no one else used and proved it was superior. However, the other fighters were using different styles also, and MMA was founded on stylized matchups. Of course Royce was MMA, he was just the bare bones MMA. Of course he did a lot for the sport, his entire family did a lot for the sport.

Him losing to Hughes does not in anyway really tarnish the guy. Since you "train" and have "trained" with other fighters, you should already know that people win and loose. Matt Hughes is a dickhead, but a great fighter, and was welterweight champion at the time. Losing to the champion in your respective weightclass does not take anything away from you as a fighter. Thats why he is the CHAMPION, because he was the best at that time in his weightclass. Regardless, Gracie fights in a week, and if you want to see how far he has come (I have seen some of his new stuff), tune into K-1 Dynamite and watch him fight one of my fav fighters. Or as Rampage calls him "Sakaraba's old ass".
