#5- Strez
Mr. Strez is a relative new comer here to junkie, and by far has the least experience out of anyone on this list. Strez has wasted little time gaining many contenders fights in the UJC. Strez has already won and defended the JEC title three times. He is the current SFF Champion with 3 defenses, Currently in the top 4 for the SFF GP at BS, Recently had a contenders fight in the MMAF league, and is in a contenders fight this coming weekend at FCUFF. While Strez is young, he is a monster. HE feels it is only a matter of time before Mr Strez is holding gold in the JFF.
#4-Shakedown1979
In the process of creating this list, HE reached out to the fighters chosen and asked for a quick resume. Mr Shakedown, took it one stop further and provided an great look back at his career. Since HE doesnt see the point in try to match what Mr Shakedown had to say, you can read it right from the man himself.
I have been doing this on and off since '06-'07. I started at FightHQ where we tried a few different styles of fantasy MMA but eventually adoped Weekly's format (much like everyone else). There I was league president and multiple time champion, but that wasn't saying much. The only two people still around from FightHQ are myself and Tokyudo. After that site went under I moved to Weekly. I'm a 3x major champion (also current) there including a GP title and FOTY. I have fought countless other contender matches there, I honestly have no idea how many. In the minors there I know I fought for the ACFL title and #1 Contender, losing both to irishman. At the beginning of last year I decided to give Junkie and BoneSnapper a shot. I've had 3 or so contender/#1 Contender matches at each place, and one or two title fights but have not claimed the belt at either site. Based on the number of contender matches I've had here in the short amount of time I've sent in picks it will not take me long to get a belt

#3-MMA-P6U6N6X
Mr, Punx has been a fixture here at Junkie, as well as many other sites for many years. Mr Punx has been in 8 contenders fights here at Junkie alone. In the Jec, He has had 14 contenders and title fights, wining the title twice and defending it one. At weekly, He went on a 7 fight win streak where he won the MMAF GP and Title in the same run. He was also a 1x MMAF Champion, with three defenses as apart of Team DGAF in the IFFL. At Bone snapper, he is a 3x BSFL Champion, he had 6 straight Defenses, and 11 consecutive wins. Mr punx, is in fact one of the most decorated fighters out there, and his resume will only continue to grow.
#2-Parsons33
Although Mr. Parsons couldn't be reached for comment. You can not deny the fact then he is one of the best FFers in the history of the game. Mr Parsons, Has won multiple titles at Weekly, BS and pretty much every where else he has competed. Although he has come up short a few times in contenders fights at Junkie, He is always a threat and will always be in contention for a title.
#1-Warjoge
HE could sit here and type anything up and it wont have the same effect of simply posting his resume, because it speaks volumes.
2x JEC Champion
2x J-1 Champion
2x SFF Champion
5x BSFL Champion
1x SFC Champion
2x MMAF Champion
1x UFF Champion
BoneSnapper - 1st Triple Crown Champ. 3rd Place in the Team Championship
Weekly - Quintuple Crown Champ, 2x Quad Crown (UFF Doesn't exist anymore), currently on a quest to beat every Weakly HoFer
Along with Morbid they are the current TTL champions at FCUFF.
Its hard to argue, with a resume with that.

Thats a solid question. theres a variety of people that come to my mind. It'd definetly between punx or iceman in my opinion. If you ever get a chance to train with punx his break downs are legendary. That being said id prolly have to go with iceman. Or thabeast if.he dont have one i know he has at least 2 jec titles idk about majors

I've got to say Punx. He was on Ramrod when they were the best team around, and IIRC he was the only one that didn't win a title. A lot of guys I respect have a very high opinion of him, and apparently his breakdowns are the best in the game.
Also, a think I have to write in an honourable mention in BadassCoffee. It's crazy to me that he's not on this list. He may have won a major in the last little while and I haven't noticed (in which case: Congrats!), but as far as I know, he hasn't. We started at the same time (a long time ago) and he's been a consistently good fighter since then and beaten a lot of good fighters, but as far as I know he's never been able to put that streak together.
