Raptor_45 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I know Anderson Silva may be one of the best at striking, but he is not really well known for his takedown attempts or ground dominance. GSP is on the flipside. He is not known for having amazing stand-up skills (not that they are bad), but he is definitely more known for his ability to take a fight to the ground at will, and control it there. Who in your opinion is the most diverse fighter? IE. Equally good at stand up as ground game, or over-all fighting ability? Even though BJ Penn lost two times to Edgar, he seems like the most well-rounded fighter to me. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurilio Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 GSP is. Because he does not use his stand up as much does not mean his stand up is bad or that he isn't a diverse and complete fighter. You should have worded your question differently. Maybe somewhere along the lines of... Who uses both the ground game and striking most efficiently. If that's what your question was supposed to be, then it's Fedor Emelianenko.

towhatend Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 GSP. If you want to see what his striking looks like re-watch the Fitch fight. All of the people complaining about GSP taking fights to the ground should go complain about Anderson Silva wanting to stand with Thales Leites and Demian Maia. GSP is the most complete fighter in MMA. Just about the only aspect I haven't seen of him is a submission game from his back, because he's never there.

HIMBOB Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 From what I have seen Fedor or GSP. GSP has great striking, if in doubt about that tell me who has out struck him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmaster502 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'd have to say Marquardt He's deadly off his back which he proved V. Sonnen, and he's got power like V. Maia(sniff sniff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It improves along with everything else he trains. He is the most well rounded along with Fedor, Aldo, Silva (his wrestling sucks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
