Top 10 Greatest MMA Heavyweight Fighters of All Time

skullgangjewelz Honoring Mixed Martial Art's greatest Heavyweight division fighter's.

The Top Ten

1 Fedor Emelianenko Fedor Emelianenko Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko is a Russian heavyweight mixed martial artist, sambist, and judoka, currently competing for Rizin Fighting Federation.

his simply is the best heavy weight of all time and the best fighter of all time. Actions speak louder than words watch fedors fights

Never one mistake made that cost him a fight. Everyone else on this list has lost... some to fighters who weren't that good. Has faced the top ranked fighters consistently.

The only fight he lost was his first ever fight. But then beat him later on in his Career. I am a MMA FANATIC and ABSOLUTELY NO ONE can beat him. His record is 47-0 and he is still fighting on Strikeforce... Stop hatinG!

The only dominant Heavyweight in the history of mma. He was untouchable for a decade and fought everyone

2 Brock Lesnar Brock Lesnar 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.

He is simply the best

The current UFC heavyweight champion, and seems to be impossible to defeat at this time. - skullgangjewelz

just an awesome force that will take you down and kick your ass.

Soon as number 1

3 Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic

l think he deserve to be on second places, one of the best striker ever he really is

Ends most of his fights in knockout, has been in many MMA battles. - skullgangjewelz

Great fighter and great sportsman

What is Lesnar doing at number 2? Mirko would kick his head of his shoulders!

4 Randy Couture Randy Couture Randall "Randy" Duane Couture is an American actor, retired mixed martial artist and former collegiate and Greco-Roman wrestler.

he's one of the best hearted fighters on the planet the guys got so much respect to add to his amazing fight resume

Has held multiple titles in the UFC, and has been around, and still is. - skullgangjewelz

5 Cain Velasquez Cain Velasquez

Injuries and long layoffs have played a factor in Cain's fighting career. If it weren't for those things happening to him, Cain would have easily already established himself as the greatest heavyweight fighter in MMA. He might even be the best MMA fighter ever.

Velasquez is the greatest heavyweight in mma I have ever watched fight. I believe he would have beaten fedor in his prime

Cain would destroy ever other fighter on this list. And Brock being second is a damn joke

Gets hurt to much, yet I still consider him the best heavyweight fighter in MMA.

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

Minotauro is a legend

7 Fabricio Werdum 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!

This list is ridiculous. Werdum and Velasquez are the best, hands down

He have lost his figth with stipe miocic and that's because he rushed in,but if u watch the other figths I will not be surprised if u came back here and voted for him.
