Best GnP ever: Jones, Cain, Khabib, Fedor?

[Gregoire1]

Who had best GnP ever at their peaks in MMA?

Some names: Cain, Fedor, Jones, Khabib, Chimaev... maybe some other fighers?

 

[AmericanMMA]

Mark Coleman

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Khabib. In terms of volume, precision, how many positions he effectively threw it from, and how he used to complement the rest of his game Khabib had it all. Others had more raw power behind it but Khabib's GnP is technical.

There are some really good breakdowns out there on how nuanced his gnp was

 

[pick999]

Jon and it's not even close

 

[Legendary]

Glover has the best GNP ever. There isnt a worse place to be in MMA then have Glover on top in mount especially if he rocks you first.

 

[nonoob]

Don Frye.

 

[CashMoney1991]

Brock had some killer ground and pound

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Cain

prime Cain would bounce that head off the canvas for 25 minutes straight


Just ask JDS

 

[felmmando]

Mark Coleman

The obvious choice.

 

[bunt]

Cain was vicious in his prime

 

[Poatan Power]

Khabib. In terms of volume, precision, how many positions he effectively threw it from, and how he used to complement the rest of his game Khabib had it all. Others had more raw power behind it but Khabib's GnP is technical.

Khabib's ground and pound is unrivaled by anyone ever and I don't think it's remotely close. Some could argue Jones was really good at it but Khabib did it more often. Dude mastered the art of pinning against the cage, getting to the ground, isolating your hip, taking an arm out of the equation and just unleashing accurate hell from above.

JJ no doubt

It was a central part of his game. Man had the 2nd most ground strikes in with less than half as many fights has his peers. And his accuracy with ground strikes was unreal. The second you covered up for strikes he was either already advancing position or breaking you down to strike from a different angle. Man had it down to a science

[Fergelmince]

Jones by far. Just ask Brandon Vera's face

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Fedor around the 3 minute mark shows Jacare and Mousasi how to GnP. It sounds like a gun shot.

 

[blaseblase]

Luke Rockhold imo. He brutalized multiple BJJ blackbelts. I don't recall anyone ever having a good time with him on top. His problem was his wrestling wasn't good enough to consistently get the fight to the ground. A lot of the time he ended up on top because his opponent made a mistake.

 

[Gutter Chris]

Jones Coleman tito Hughes and Khabib all come to mind.

Sorta want to include gsp but he didn't really pound you out so much as just grinded you down.

 

[blaseblase]

Gotta take points off for Cain, the two grapplers he fought he avoided going to the ground with. Fedor going into Nog's guard and beating him there is much more impressive.

 

[EnthusiastCultivator]

Definitely not GSP, he took down Condit and Nick, proceeded to GNP them for 20 minutes and went 49-46 and 50-45, respectively, but came out looking worse than both of them.
