Personally, for me I think Jon Jones is the most complete fighter currently in the UFC.
I would have also said GSP and Mighty Mouse if they were still in the roster.
Would love to hear others opinions on who they think are the most complete fighters?

Good shout. I think Nunes is overlooked when it comes to her overall skill set, probably due to the fact her striking is so good.

I agree with you on every fighter you said except maybe Gastelum. Only because his boxing is good but he is very limited in his strike selection, however he was a state championship wrestler and has four wins by submission on his record. So, maybe I'm being a bit harsh. This pretty much looks like the end of the thread, did you have to name so many?

If we're talking just wrestling and striking with BJJ defense...
HW - Cain(I don't think I've seen the striking from Stipe or DC match the highs of Cain)
LHW - Jones
MW - Yoel
WW - Rory (but he's not in the UFC) Till (but he's now a MW) Robbie(but he hasn't won in a while)
LW - Tony
FW - Zabit
BW - Dillashaw(but we know how that goes)
Fly - Cejudo
STW - Joanna
FW - Shevchenko
BW - Nunes
So top five would be..
1. Jones
2. Tony
3. Nunes
4. Zabit
5. Shevchenko

To be fair, he landed a flush headkick on Adesanya, which speaks to his striking versatility.

Kelvin practices Muay Thai consistently but I think his frame works better for more of a boxing style approach, but he def can throw good kicks when needed.

Rob The Reaper doesn't just have top notch stand-up and wrestling strong enough to handle Olympic gold medalists, he also showed he had the ground game to handle 2017 Jacare.

Pretty much the same as me other than
MW - Whittaker
FW - Zabit is definitely a future FW champ imho. Can't remember what that rare submission he pulled off was called?
BW - Sterling, and we all know why I didn't pick Dillashaw
STW - Rose
So my top five would be..
1. Jones
2. Tony
3. Nunes
4. Zabit
5. Whittaker

That is true. It's just like JonnyRico said, "his frame works better for more of a boxing style approach".
Very good point @ JonnyRico

Ok I know I'm gonna catch some sh*t for even saying this....but COLBY.
Dude is F'n impressive and I don't know if its repetition in practice or fear that turn him into a freaking MACHINE in the cage? I mean hes pieced up and wrestle f*cked just about everyone hes faced.
