2 Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic
l think he deserve to be on second places, one of the best striker ever he really is
What is Lesnar doing at number 2? Mirko would kick his head of his shoulders!

Brock Edward Lesnar is an American professional wrestler and former amateur wrestler, professional American football player, and mixed martial artist who is currently signed to WWE. Probably one of the most overrated fighters of all time. A record of 5 - 3, mediocre boxing skills and only good at wrestling. Without his massive body he would be a nobody.

Has held multiple titles in the UFC, and has been around, and still is. - skullgangjewelz
5 Cain Velasquez
Cain should be at number 2- what the hell is lesnar even doing in the top 15?
He solidly is number 2. Definitely ahead of Mirco, Lesnar and others. And the 3rd is Stipe Miocic!
Gets hurt to much, yet I still consider him the best heavyweight fighter in MMA.
Velasquez is the greatest heavyweight in mma I have ever watched fight. I believe he would have beaten fedor in his prime

6 Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera
Big nog should be at number 2 second only to fedor- what a joke having lesnar at number 2 when he shouldn't even be on this list.
He fought so many wars, and was the only fighter to hold both pride and ufc heavyweight titles, enough said
Beaten everybody, and is the only to hold Heavyweight titles in Pride & UFC. - skullgangjewelz

7 Fabricio Werdum
Should be #1. Beat Fedor and Cain Velasquez and at the moment is the UFC heavyweight champion.
Why isn't he number one? Schooled Cain Velasquez for the heavyweight title and made Fedor's overrated ass submit!
He beat fedor and cain
This list is ridiculous. Werdum and Velasquez are the best, hands down
