My picks
Boxing: - Petr Yan
He covers up well, slips punches well, and can hit you from every and any angle. I don’t think it’s even close that he is the best boxer in the UFC atm
Kickboxing: - Alex Pereira
MW & LHW champion in Glory kickboxing. 3-0 against Izzy. Has massive KO power in his punches and kicks
Karate: - Stephen Thompson
Like this was even a tough choice to make. There’s no one quite like Stephen thompson. He moves quick and hits you with weird strikes from weird angles that confuse his opponents
Wrestling: - Bo Nickal
Hopefully it’s not too early to select him as the best example for wrestling. He has massive potential, more than any wrestler we’ve ever seen coming into the UFC. Undefeated and has effortlessly taken down his opponents thus far
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: - Charles Oliveria
Other than Islam his opponents are terrified to go to the ground with him. They’re petrified once he gets their back. His grappling transitions are wicked fast and he can get a choke on you so fast. Not to mention, he has the most submission wins in UFC
history
Sambo: Islam Makhachev
Like this was even a touch choice to make. Khabib would have been the easy answer as well if this were a few years ago, but today it’s his protege, Islam. His takedowns are strong, he uses the fence very well to take guys down, and unless your name is Alexander Volkanovski you don’t get back up
For Muay Thai & Judo someone smarter than me will have to take this lose two for me
