I think it's clear that Fedor, Silva, and St. Pierre are the top 3. I don't think these guys will reign forever, age..ect.. But what they have now is quite exceptional. You look at probably the last three fights for each of these fighters and it's not been close. Good for Dana and whoever else has mma matches. I think mma is an excellent source of high quality showmanship.

silva is retiring soon.... before he hits 35

I know sad that silva is retiring but i think you should add machida to that list too. ^^Love the gif

Yeah GSP, Anderson Silva and Fedor are all #1 P4P in my mind. They are the most dominant champions in the world. Man I'm going to hate when they lose, I hope they never do, but everyone does I guess.

Silva said he is retireing by age 35, but where will he go? What would he do? Fighting is his life. He would come back if he did retire. Just like Floyd Maywether will come back to boxing.

That's true Silva said he out at that time. Machida is right there. Even guys like Henderson and Evans come up big. Lunatic fringe.

Not near the level of Anderson, GSP, and Fedor.

Silva is over rated. I"m not saying hes bad i just think Fedor and GSP should be ranked higher. Silvas lost 4 times where fedor has never really lost.

Anderson only lost 3 times really. DQ's don't count, and it should have neeen a NC so. When was the last time Silva acctually lost a fight? It was in 2004, and he got cought in a crazy lucky sub after was he dominating. He lost to Dakese in 2003 by getting caught in a lucky sub afer dominating as well. And he lost his first career fight by decision. He hasn't lost in 5 years and he has won 9 straight all by stoppage in dominating fashion. He is not overrated at all my friend.

Record wise, sure Fedor has a slight edge. But I think as far as level of competition, they're all about the same.

ok A Silva is very good no doubt, probably the best striker in the UFC, mainly because of his timing and huge reach he has on everyone. I find it interesting he wants to retire before 35, in my opinion i think he just wants to be able to fight a few more times then get out, and make sure he doesnt fight really big top opponents and lose before he retires. I really understand it, i mean who wants to lose? The thing is middleweight division has always been slim, and lets me honest the top comp he has fought was Dan Henderson and Rich Franklin. THATS IT. He walks around at about 225lbs, I say after he fights Thealis Leites, he stays at Light heavyweight until he retires, Heavyweight no way, he doesnt have the power to be there lets all be serious about that. Oh yeah them losses were not luck he had, this is mma not basketball lol, no such luck in this sport, he got caught and he lossed. Im not dissing him at all he is for sure the top fighter in the UFC middleweight division, one of the best p4p fighters. After Fedor that is....
