i mean if you saw Sunday's fights... they are all incredible. Randy Couture could pass for 20something, Rich Franklin brings it back and Matt Hughes, well he's just the man...
But then there's Chuck The Iceman Liddell... CHOOSE!!!

Firstly. the Randy Couture performance on sunday night at UFC 68 was incredible, and one of my favourite moments in sporting history, il never forget it. To be there the atmosphere must have been amazing, 19,000 fans, and 90% of them behind the natural!
I cannot comment too much on Mirko Cro Cop in the UFC. But I have done my research, and watched videos of him, and he looks pretty awesome! (I do not want Randy Couture to fight Cro Cop) I just wish Randy would retire now, and last nights performance would just be a fitting ending to his career, everyone would remember the unbelievable performance against Sylvia! Id hate to see him get knocked out by Cro Cop.
Anyway - I cant say cro cop in the UFC, hes only been in it two minutes.
I would say pound for pound, its very close between Chuck Liddell and Georges St Pierre. But Chuck Liddell would get my vote as he has done more, hes dominated the Light heavyweight division! Hes a top guy, not a trash talker, and an amazing fighter!
The best future talent I would say is Georges St Pierre, hes still very young, great future ahead of him, and I can see his beating Matt Hughes again and dominating the Welterweight division for quite some time. I hate to say it, but I really do think we may have seen the best of Hughes ( I hope I am wrong )
Rich Franklin also a great fighter, and a big powerful guy in the middleweight division. I believe when he gets his rematch with Anderson Silva he will regain his belt. He got blown when he lost his belt, but Rich will do his homework, and come back to capture the Middleweight belt. He just had an off night against Silva, now hes back!
BEST POUND FOR POUND FIGHTER IN THE UFC - CHUCK LIDDELL
BEST FUTURE POUND FOR POUNDER - GSP OR MIRKO CRO COP
MY FAVOURITE FIGHTERS - LIDDELL AND COUTURE

CroCop is the best fighter in the UFC right now. After one match, we've yet to see the domination of CroCop here in the US. He has only lost to Champions (Fedor, Minatauro, and Randleman) and has beaten a number of top flight fighters. He is always impressive and exciting in the ring. He will destroy Randy Couture.
I think that Georges St. Pierre is a close second, as he has a more well rounded game than CroCop, but he's young, and will have to beat a few more good fighters before I could consider him the best.
That all being said, the Iceman is the biggest MMA star in the world. Every fight he has breaks a record for revenue, and that is important along with fighting skill. I think Mirko is the better fighter, but the Iceman is the most exciting fighter in MMA, which is something to consider...

Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic hands down #1 best fighter in the UFC right now. You just might not know it yet.
Next in random order would be Chuck Liddell, Quinton Rampage Jackson, and Georges St. Pierre.
Remember, you asked who the best UFC fight is not who's had the most success in the UFC. Mirko is simply the best striker in the world. Chuck Liddell is a very dominant counter puncher. Rampage is a tornado of aggression skill and accuracy (he beat the living hell out of chuck liddell in Pride fighting). And GSP who is just super impressive, I still can't believe how much he dominated over Matt Hughes who is one of the best UFC fighters at the moment i think as well.
I'm a huge Mirko fan but he is not the best fighter in the world. that would be Fedor Emelianenko. Fedor is Undefeated and has been the heavyweight champion of PRIDE fighting for 4 years straight. Mirko is a the better striker but Fedor is EXTREMELY aggressive and really really good at it. Also, if the fight goes to the ground Fedor is one of the best Sambo artists ever. Fedor has it all. In the UFC alone however, Mirko is king.

Chuck Liddell is the most dominant fighter in the UFC right now. Hughes, Franklin and Couture are beasts. I am interested to see how Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva do in their next couple of title defenses. Mirko Cro-Cop, Rampage Jackson and Michael Bisping may also prove to be interesting additions to the UFC.

I would surly say St. pierre, Liddell, Cro cop( he is deadly and definitely my best choice), Silva, Randy and can not wait to see Liddell fights Silva or better yet Cro Cop. I'm kinda done with Hughs, not impressive at all. So cautious and Chris L. could easily resist his power, in a way that not get knocked out or submitted. Randy C always will be a best and my hero and best of him is yet to come cause of his new style, head movement and all that. Back to Silva, i didn't know he is so good in Ju Jitsu til fighting Lutter. I believe Liddell & Silva will be a awsome fight. Both are striker and explosive, lets see what will happen! Liddell has to fight Jackson first though. Another awsome fight!

People seem to be answering your question by reading it is "Who is YOUR FAVORITE UFC fighter?"...that's why they're saying the Iceman.
The best overall fighter in the entire UFC is Mirko Cro Cop. There can be no intelligent argument against this.
Yeah, it's a sport and anything can happen. But put Cro Cop against anyone in the UFC (including Chuck) 10 times in a row and Cro Cop wins 8, 9, or even all 10 of those fights.
If you thought that UFC was that good, I'm wondering if you caught Pride 33 two weekends ago? It absolutely blew this last UFC out of the water.

I would say Chuck Liddell. He's probably got the heaviest hands in the UFC. He just seems to knock everybody out.

i could'nt say they have greater advantageous combatants, basically that they have greater good combatants. As in a deeper roster pool of skills. final analysis is the real UFC adult men can carry with delight and vice versa, so it fairly is all related to the comparable. delight has historically paid greater money and has greater worldwide combatants, yet be responsive to that USFC is taking on, we are going to see anybody scuffling with anybody. and that's what we choose interior the 1st place. I basically decide for the appropriate scuffling with the appropriate, do no longer care related to the orgs, basically desire a good instruct, delight and UFC constantly biatches.
