Who had the best ground and pound of all time? And is it a lost art?

Watching Pantoja trying and failing against Van got me thinking we really don’t see it too much anymore….

Coleman? Fedor? Tito?

Anyone from the uniform era deserve a mention?

Bas or Fedor

If we mean the best actual striking while on top as opposed to control, Fedor, Anderson Silva, Rockhold, Igor Vov, Gaygard Mousashi

Rockhold was up there, but his wrestling was shit. Just like his kicks were elite but he couldn’t box to save his life.

Holes in his game

Tito’s was awesome. Although, in some fights he didn’t really get a chance to show it that much. Like versus Ken Shamrock he just KO’d him 3 times with absolute ease, barely even a workout LOL.

Great looking, dumb as rocks. Celeb girlfriend, she turned into a disgusting non binary person. He just can’t get a total win.

I think mark coleman would have been champ another 10 years if they never banned headbutts.

Charles Oliviera has the most underrated ground and pound since he’s alway going for the submission.

I feel at his age, if he concentrated on the ground and pound, he’d absolutely break people and probably prolong his own career.

Shogun put dudes out with gnp a few times. Overeem, Arona, Machida. Dude hit hard as fuck on the ground.

In terms of generating power punches from top position, Igor and Fedor.

In terms of smothering top control G&P, guys like Coleman and Hughes come to mind.

Methodical G&P.. Couture, GSP..

Lesnar deserves mention too.

Obviously there’s a bunch more.

Anderson Silva’s punches were surgical when he had you on your back.

Off the top of my head Fedor. Fast and powerful punches while on top of you.

The fights leading up to the Anderson fight, Chael had some dominant ground and pound.

Still feel like pride Fedor is the Goat.
