Rank the 10 worst Strikers in MMA:

great add farmer

Rani Yahya?

Obviously a lot of grappler types have pretty shitty striking. I'll throw Lister out there

Imunari

Tito's striking allowed him to recently fight close and land punches with Forrest Griffin over two fights and one fight with Rashad Evans. The losses to Liddell have been overly damaging to how Tito is seen. Tito would look like Rampage Jackson against somone like Mark Coleman. His striking isn't a strong point and he isn't an elite or great striker but the reason his striking draws so much criticism is because he as a fighter is defined to the general public only by his losses to Liddell, and by his antics, which most seem to hate. The loss to Machida didn't help his cause, but "better" strikers in Evans and Silva were absolutely murdered subsequently by the Dragon, making Tito's effort look better relative to other top strikers.

Damian Maia, Jake Sheilds and Shinya Aoki all have striking games that would relegate them to KOTC if that is what they relied on.

KOTC?

more like McDonalds.

I can't put Maia on anymore, is he good? not really, but he won the striking with Miller and has improved enough to be out of the top 10 IMO

Maia's striking has improved lately, I would say he's on par with the low end of top 12-15 in the division in pure striking.

Koji Oishi

Go watch his fight with Nick Diaz. I'm not even sure how to describe his insanely stupid stand up.

Probably some guy who is 0-2 and that no one has ever heard of.

Yea, that's why I didn't make a list. This would be more fun if it was limited to like..Top 25 in their weight class fighters.

The list is 10 being the best of the bunch, 1 being the worst striker of all. This is actually harder than it looks.


10- Matt Hughes
9- Sean Sherk- his arms are just way too fuckin' short
8- Kurt Pellegrino
7- Clay Guida
6- Chael Sonnen
5- Thales Leites
4- Royce Gracie-sorry bird, but when he wasn't nut shotting guys he sucked on his feet
3- Anthony Perosh
2- Shinya Aoki
1- Dustin Hazelett

Matt Hughes just finished Renzo with stand-up so Renzo should at least be below him.

I like Sherk's boxing. He outboxed Tyson Griffin.

Sonnen looked alright when he went after Paulo Filho. Obviously those guys are all wrestlers first and foremost, but there are worse than them.
