there's a few good strikers in mma, obviously a.silva being one with his accuracy, semtex another with his his power, dan hardy is quite powerful too

w.silva and chuck are still decent enough, despite not knocking out a lot of opponents machida is also very accurate as is hendo

 

anyone in any mma fight can strike out an opponent at any give time

Anderson Silva hands down. He's got such diversity in his combinations and knockout power and perfect technique. Is there anything that can actually beat him?

 

 

Thats wierd seeing that hes knocked out.... NO ONE since being in the UFC.

 

Ramage KO'ed W.Silva

 

Rashad KO'ed Liddell

 

Franklin KO'ed Quarry

 

W.Silva and Houston KO'ed Jardine

 

Henderson KO'ed Bisping (gotta love that one)

 

A TKO and KO are two different things.

A KO your out, unconscious, sleeping in the cage.

A TKO your conscious, but your lost. lala land, quier street, drooling on your self.

A lot of people will probably disagree but I would have to go with GSP and I'll explain.

 

His wrestling makes him a better striker because his opponents are worried about the takedowns. GSP spends the majority of the time on the ground but it's set up by his excellent stand-up. Some of the best and most unpredictable Kick Boxing in MMA. He may not have Knock-out power but he's working on that now too.

I think this question needs to be in two parts. Best striker and best striking finisher. Id say rampage is the the best striker, just watch how he stays in the pocket and catches strikes then blast back. Why do you think the leg kicks were so effective for forrest. As far as finishers though The Iceman takes the cake. He hits another level when he has a guy hurts. As if his hands werent crisp enough when he gets u hurt they get better. Best example is the second tito fight. As soon as tito hits the cage and covers up chuck tears it up. Play in slow and look at chucks eyes ... the have one thing in mind and thats knocking titos head off

Dude, know your stuff. Forest Griffin was a KO, James Irvin was a KO, Frankin 1, Leben. All on Silvas record as KO's not TKO's.

Yes on his record. WOW.

 

Yet they were all awake. A KO is when your KNOCKED OUT, OUT COLD!

 

Liddell is another one. his record might say KO but he didn't KO people he TKO'ed them. they were still awake and trying to cover up (not doing a good job though)

Back to Anderson None of those guys lost consciousness, most were covered up when the fight was stopped. Irvin was covering from the moment he hit the mat. Forrest wasnt covering but had his hands in front of him self as to saying he was done, had enough. Leben is the only one i cant remember.

 

Point is he doesnt KO anybody he doesn't have KO power. He gets fights stopped because your in lala land and cant take nomore.

I got the most of the UFC fights on DVD. He didnt go stiff, he fell and covered his face and Silve dropped like 7 more shots before the ref stopped it. I dont have the Leben fight.

 

I also just threw in the first Silva and Franklin fight and Franklin wasn't even close to going out as someone earlier replied, he went down and the fight was stopped due big John seeing Franklin was done.

On paper and stat the guys with the most accurate striking is GSP .

 

But when u see Silva Striking u can say he got beter striking and a awesome counter striker. .

 

emm i think silva has the best accurcacy then lyoto machida last time i seen the stats but then again it could of changed gsp has the most takedown success though i think and machida gets hit the less but prob changed after he gt hit a few times in the shogun fight

Your not understanding... thats not KO power. Thats a guy whos rocked, DONE, and laying on the ground and you drop 7 more bombs on his head. COMPLETETY DIFFERENT. He was laying on the ground waiting for the fight to be stopped for crying out loud. Matt Hughes could have Knocked him Out at that point. And it only took 7 shots to a downed guy to do it!

 

 

but hey thanks for verifing that for me:D

Oh and btw, i forgot that KO's outside the ufc dont count. Andersons upward elbow put that guy to SLEEP. And who cares if he doesnt get out cold ko's. Anderson drops opponents. End of. Watch the irvin fight, irvin went to the floor covering yes. The fight was stopped because Irvins hands dropped because he was OUT. Why are you making a big point out of having knock out power? Anderson doesnt have it, but he still finishes guys straight out.

Since being in the UFC i haven't seen him KO anybody, that all i was saying. When i think of someone getting KO'ed i think of 2 guys on thier feet and some one KNOCKING the other guy OUT, OUT to where the other guy is sleep/stiff/nightynights/ect.

 

Rampage vs. W.Silva

Henderson vs. W.Silva

Henderson vs. Bisping

Rashad vs. Liddell

Gonzaga vs. CroCop

Franklin vs. Quarry

W.Silva vs Jardine

Rashad vs. Salmon

 

I dont see many KO's all though many call them KO's. I see lots of TKO's were the ref stops it because the someone has had enough or cant intelegently defend.

You got me. But do you see what i mean what im trying to say?

 

He has a one hit quitter. But it doesn't shut the light out.

 

 

And is the best striker in the UFC. (head movement is second to none)

Just because you KO someone who is on the ground, doesn't take away the fact that irvin went stiff, i've seen it like 10 times. Silva caught the leg and dropped him, then held his leg and hit with 5-6 jabs to one side of the face then came underneath irvins arm with an uppercut, then irvin went stiff. he may have only been out for 2-3 seconds but he did go out.

He wasn't laying there waiting for the fight to be stopped, he had no idea what had just hit him.

 

Not every KO, has the opponent like Sean Salmon after that vicious Rashad head kick where he's out cold for like 5 minutes. If the lights go out it's a KO.

Anderson Silva and Melvin Manhoef for me, even tho my boy just got KTFO he is still a KO king 24 wins 23 kos 20 in the first round.

 

I think if Manhoef was a couter fighter like Silva he would have done better but Silva is big for 185 Manhoef is very small, his height fits lightweight and he has faught HW, LHW, and now middleweight.

I agree with you MMA love to call it a KO when it wasnt a real KO theres a video of Rampage saying "they called it knockouts but nobody got knocked out" which he is talking about what your saying.

Top spot definitely goes to Anderson Silva, but there are some other top strikers in the UFC.

 

Like someone already said, Chuck and Vitor in their primes were a tough test for anyone on the feet. BJ Penn has very high level boxing, and there are some great WW strikers in Rumble, Daley and Alves. I would have said Cheick Kongo as well, but after being knocked down by Frank Mir, I don't really think that's true anymore.
