wow tough call.. I am sure others could think of different fighters as well you should have added an other option as well. but you certianly got a good selection there../. not sure who to pick.. you can pick different ones for different reasons..
Yea I Knew There Was More, But I Thought They Were The Best, I Was Drawing Blanks..but I Picked Fedor, Because He Has Great Subs, And His Ground Control Is Insane, He Owns Everyone On The Ground His Power Is Crazy
Wtf Fedor isn't better at submission and grappling then Nogueira people. And where is Rua he is very good at submissions and grappling skills. So is Paulo Filho. Not Dean Lister :laugh:.
Actually, I'm wondering why there isn't any mention of Genki Sudo, Rumina Sato or Masakazu Imanari on that list. These are guys that win mainly by submission and in very crazy fashion while doing so.

i coulda put alot more guys on this list but imo these guys are the cream of the crop..and i feel fedor is the best because hes not only great at subs, hes just better than anyone he fights once the fight is on the ground thats why hes the best..he went to the ground with nog, owned him, went to the ground with arona, owned him, babalu, owned him..hes the best
Babalu is a good grappler like the Bonnar fan said but not as good as Sudo, Rodrigo Nogueira, and Fedor. Ricardo Arona and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira are very good too. As well as Silva and Rua. Those are the best in my opinion.
Thats enough for me, well that and his 10/23 wins in MMA by submission, his devistating G&P attack and the fact he puts everyone to the ground at will.
Nog must have tried 30 subs on him in the 3 fights and was brushed off or pounded for his efforts, and Nog is a sub-machine!
Fedor is a good grappler but hell a lot better at striking and ground and pound in other words punching. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Ricardo Arona, Mauricio Rua, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Paulo Filho, Babalu are a lot better. And the guy is right why is this in the UFC forum when three quarters of the options are PRIDE fighters. Ridicolous.
If You Guys Read The Question, It Sais Grappler And Submission Specialist..not Just Submission Specialist..basically, Whos The Best Once The Fight Hits The Ground...and The Answer Is Fedor..theres Really No Other Answer Imo, Because He Owns Everyone On The Ground..and Stop Whing Over This Being In The Ufc Section, I Only Put In This Section Cuz More People Go In This Section, If U Got Something Stupid To Say, Keep It To Yourself And Dont Reply To My Threads..im Sick Of The *****en

This reply has my vote for reply of the year. Why does it seem that the people who have been around here the longest are the biggest ball busters. Its a discussion forum, not a ballbusting forum, if you dont like what someone says; than state your position and be done with it. Why must you waste reply after reply making the same point which is really nothing more than a ballbusting session because someone did not say what you want? I can not tell you how many topics I have lost interest in because of the catty mentality of some of the members here. Grow up. Its a mma forum and it feels more like a tupperware party at times. butch up girls and stop acting like a bunch of queens.
BTW I went with Gracie because I am old school.
Now bring on the flames ladies I cant wait:cheeky4:
over all on the gropund Fedor is one of the best I picked him becasue of not just skill but his tenacity.. I mean the man gets dropped on his head and less then a minute later is winning the match by submission... in individual skills he may not be the best but over all he is one of the best... as for this being in the UFC thread.. geez no need to be so picky over which thread it is in people make mistakes all the time.. I have moved threads to the right topic alot.. this one is close.. this may not have been the best choice but it was not completely the wrong choice. but just to stop hearing people complain over something so trival I will move it to the correct section.
Thats stupid because techniqually i think Ken Shamrock was a better grappler then any of these guys and he was pretty good with submissions as well.
And ya Fedor might have been good in ***** but guess what.
4X National Machado Jiu Jitsu Champion (weight class and open classes)/ 2X National ***** Champion/ KOTC Middleweight champion/ National Gracie Jiu Jitsu Champion/ North American Qualifier ADCC 2003 Absolute Champion in ADCC/2005 Superfight Champion in ADCC
Thats dean listers records. And i think its more impressive that he's won *****, Machado, and Gracie JJ championships.

Yea I am a fan of Kens as well he is awesome too. I'd love to train with him.. Its a tought call all these guys are great at what they do.. obviously.. or they would not have made it as far as many of them have.
I like Nog in Pride for sure. He's got a hell of a good ground game. Fedor is an animal, I still remember when he almost snapped Marc Coleman in half, and the hammer was damn good still. I don't know the rules of forums, so I am talking generally of UFC and Pride. In UFC balboa is really elite, and I like Dean Lister as well. I dont know if they are at an the one percent elite level like Gracie, but I think both are up and coming fighters and submissions didn't keep Matt Hughes from pounding his face in. Ground and pound is a whole different ball game, but honestly, has anyone Liddel had on the ground lately taken more then two or three head shots. Power is key in this day in age. GSP and Hughes are going to put on a ground show in Aneheim. Just happy I can be there to witness what should be the best fight of the year.
I thought that you had some respectable intelligence, Bonnar. Maybe I'm confused, but Sobral couldn't beat Fedor or Nog. It's hard for me to imagine that his subs are better than the Boogeyman's.
I've gonna go with Fedor simply because he's the best grappler. He's not the best submission specialist, but he has the best ground control and the best takedowns and would definitely beat the hell out of any of the guys on this list. (in fact, I think he has beaten most of them)
YEA I HAD A TOUGH TIME NOT PICKING NOG, THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME FROM PICKING HIM , WAS THAT EVERY TIME HIM AND FEDOR HIT THE GROUND, HE WAS DOMINATED..FEDOR JUST DID WHAT HE WANTED WHEN HE WANTED..IF IT WAS STRICTLY A SUBMISSIONS CONTEST, NOG WOULD PROBABLY BEAT ALL THESE GUYS, BECAUSE HE A HUGE GUY FIRST OF ALL , AND HES A SNAKE..
