so right now in the UFC there are a lot of Champions with entertaining fighting styles and in this video I decided to rank every single current UFC Champion based on how entertaining their fighting style is so let's get right into it by starting off with number eight Bal Muhammad I know very surprising I know a lot of y'all actually expected this guy to be at number one absolutely destroyed Leon Edwards but all jokes aside he is genuinely a skill Fighter the way he beat Edwards was very impressive he had a very good game plan in that fight however he's also very boring inside the Octagon the concept Bal exists for a Reon if you fight Bal you're going to get baled Bal is a slow wrestler with decent boxing but he does have Pillow hands he also has a very low finishing rate I think he has like six finishes out of 27 fights and overall he's just boring he literally just lays on his opponent and belows them but I will say that it's very funny that this guy somehow became champion now at number seven we have Alexander Pantoja and this guy's actually quite an entertaining fighter he's not super powerful but he keeps a very high Pace he rushes in throwing punches and goes for takedowns but unlike Bal he doesn't Bal his opponents he actually looks for submissions on the ground and he actually has a pretty good amount of submissions on his record he has 10 submission wins eight wins by knockout and the 11 of those 18 finishes came in the first round in my opinion Pantoja is undoubtedly a very very entertaining fighter but he's not as entertaining as the Champions above him so at number six we have Jon Jones I know a lot of people are going to be like how can you put the goat of the sport down here man I don't care if he's the goat or not the guy's had some unimpressive performances recently in his career I mean before finishing serial gone the guy had three decision wins in a row and two of them were very controversial and one of them was a clear robbery Dominic Rays literally beat him I don't care what anyone says but besides that his fighting style isn't too boring he stands tall and has quite a heavy emphasis on his kicks elbows and knees very similar to a mu thae style his boxing is also pretty trash cuz he has pillow hands and he also has very good grappling which was made obvious in his last fight but if you look through his career but if you look through his career he does have a decent amount of submissions the standing Guillotine he got against leoto Macha is probably the coolest submission I've ever seen and I also want to add that he does throw a decent amount of flashy techniques like spinning elbows which also makes his in sty pretty entertaining and this is where it gets a little complicated and I might piss a lot of people off but at number five I have Islam makev and Islam makev is a very skilled and entertaining fighter I think he's probably one of the most well-rounded champions in the UFC the guy's elite wrestling of course but even though he's dgani he also has very good striking one of if not the most skilled striker in the division and he also has some really good performances like his fight against Dustin and the first and second fight with v he also has a pretty good amount the finishes on his record the only critique I can give marev is that sometimes he's just so dominant that the fight becomes boring like in his fight against Bobby green or Dan hooker so I guess it's not really his fault but at number four I have the African born African race champion himself DDP and at first I thought DDP style was Goofy and I'll still stand by that but you can't deny how entertaining it is the guy's brawler and the very good one at that now in terms of technique he's definitely not the best but he's is very powerful has crazy good durability and always pushes forward which makes a St very entertaining to watch and I've said this before but I think that his lack of technique is actually what makes his striking effective cuz his opponents have a hard time making reads on a guy who's so unorthodox which shows cuz he literally beat the three best strikers in middleweight Strickland whiter and adna although the Strickland fight could have gone to Strickland but regardless those fights were very exciting now at number three I have ilot Toria and Toria has a very boxing heavy style which I personally like a lot and he's obviously going to have very good boxing but he also has pretty underrated grappling which his record shows cuz he has a lot of submissions I think he actually started out with Greek or Roman wrestling or something like that I might be wrong but regardless what makes his style so exciting is of course his Strike King he's a pressure boxer who for the most part moves forward but unlike DDP he's very calculated and has very nice defense the guy is also really good at making reads and that's the reason for why he has such nice counters he also has insane power he pretty much always chins his opponents if he catches them clean and if you also look at his fight the Mitchell fight was very good the EMT fight was very good and the vog fight was also very good and he also gets bonus points for beating that soy Jitsu practitioner Ryan Hall who Joe Rogan was ging so hard in that fight now at number two I actually have Alex Pera which might surprise a lot of people cuz you guys who watch me know I'm a big perea fan but perea should definitely be near the top of this list his striking is next level very technical but also very unorthodox the guy also has crazy power one of the most powerful punchers in the history of the sport and his record shows that he has nine Knockouts and 11 fights in MMA the most exciting part about perea's fighting sty is how you never know when the fight is going to end the fight can end instantly once he lands his left hook which is one of the scariest punches I've ever seen he literally shins everyone he touches with it perea is also all offense the guy is pretty hitable he doesn't really move his head that much he has a stone chin which makes up for that weakness I also really like how calculated he is and how he sets up his most powerful techniques the Strickland fight is the best example of this he conditions Strickland to overpower his jab and then Kim strickling guard with a left H which is some very high level stuff his fights are also really exciting like the first a ofia fight where he was on his way to losing but came back in the final round and knocked him out and even in the second fight where he was putting a beating on adna until adosa knocked him out he also had a very cool main character moment against Jamal Hill where he'll hit his cup and when the ri was going to step in Pera just put out his hand and stopped him and then immediately went out and knocked out hill with a left hook his three fights were also very good where he knocked him out with a left hook in the first fight and knocked him out with a head kick in the second fight anyways I have nothing more to say so let's move on to number one of this list and that is sha Ali and I think most people are going to agree with me here cuz I'm m is literally dribbling on his opponents in my opinion he's the most complete striker in the UFC the guy can kick he can punch he has great defense he's fast he's powerful and moves really well he also throws a lot of flashy techniques in his fights like spinning back kicks and stuff like that and his creativity on the feat is unmatched and he also has some crazy highlights The alga Knockout is one of the coolest Knockouts I've ever seen literally face planted him and we can also talk about the verifi where he conducted surgery on Vera's face he literally looked like a completely different person in that fight and I really hope he beats Mor Rob if they're even going to fight cuz Mor Rob style is literally the opposite of exciting if Mor Rob wins he's going to stink up the best division in the UFC and it's up to you Ali to face plant him too anyways if you're interested in more of these type of videos check out my video where I ranked all the current Champions
