Putting together a list of the best of all times is never easy, and big names will inevitably be left out, so Brazil’s MMA magazine, NOCAUTE, passed on the task to some of Brazil’s greatest MMA representatives, asking them to list their all-time favorites.
Check out who made their lists:
Maurício Shogun
1 – Fedor Emelianenko
2 – Georges St. Pierre
3 – Anderson Silva
4 – BJ Penn
5 – Wanderlei Silva
For everything Wanderlei has done in MMA, no way he can be left off anyone’s list” Shogun
Murilo Bustamante
1 – Carlson Gracie
2 – Fedor Emelianenko
3 – Rodrigo Minotauro
4 – Anderson Silva
5 – BJ Penn
Shoot, the five best? Tough question! I’ll think about it and get back to you by email” Bustamante
José Aldo
1 – Fedor Emelianenko
2 – Royce Gracie
3 – Randy Couture
