You might think I'm insane for including Chuck in there but he was a very good wrestler who used his wrestling to keep himself standing. Much like what Hendo does nowadays.

This is very hard to put together so instead of hurting my head thinking I put the one I think is the best. Also Couture would be 2nd on my list.

Ya it was pretty hard to put all of these in order. I guess it depends on how they all used their wrestling.

Looks like the majority thinks GSP is the best, is he really?

@dielegende23 Yes my friend. Yes he is.

He has the most takedowns landed in the Octagon with 68, he's the most accurate takedown artist at 77.3% (significantly better than 2nd place Nate Marquardt at 72.9) and he's 3rd all-time in takedown defenses at 88% (trailing Gleison Tibau at 88.9% and Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski at 89.5%).

To put into perspective, your 2nd of all time Mr. Jon Fitch gets 50% of his takedowns and defends 57%. Or my 2nd of all time Matt Hughes gets 50% of his takedowns and defends 35%.
