Former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion, Randy "The Natural" Couture, is one of the pound-for-pound greatest fighters in mixed martial arts history, but the man behind the Xtreme Couture trademark doesn't put much weight in pound-for-pound rankings."It's such a hard thing to really objectively look at and determine. You can make a case for a lot of the guys out there," Couture told MMAInsider.
Pound-for-Pound rankings are the most subjective rankings out there. The criteria is speculation derived from hypothetics.
"St. Pierre is firing on all cylinders right now. BJ Penn looks great at 155-pounds. I think it's the best I've seen him look. Anderson Silva, until this last fight, has been impressive in his performances," commented Couture. "For Fedor [Emelianenko] to walk through a top-five fighter like Tim Sylvia in 36 seconds was certainly a statement."
It's complicated and probably unattainable, and Couture agrees.
"How you sort all that out in a pound-for-pound equation, I don't know that it can really be done," said Couture. "But it certainly makes for good talk over the water-cooler."
