\u201dMauricio
\nRuffy<\/a>,\u201d Silva said. \u201cHe\u2019s not pragmatic and manages the fight
\nvery well.”<\/p>\n

When it came time to choose the best grappler, Silva didn’t
\nhesitate either.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Khamzat] Chimaev. He won the belt fighting five rounds without
\nthrowing a single punch,\u201d Silva said.<\/p>\n

Arman
\nTsarukyan<\/a> was named by Fighting Nerd as the best wrestler
\nacross all divisions, and he recognized former opponents Kevin
\nVallejos<\/a> and Diego Lopes<\/a>
\nas having the toughest chins on the whole UFC roster.<\/p>\n

No Humility Necessary<\/h2>\n

In the categories of best IQ, best trash talk, and best cardio,
\n\u201cLord\u201d set aside his humility.<\/p>\n

“Me, me, and me,\u201d Silva said. \u201cMcGregor has always been the best at
\ntrash talk, but I\u2019m not sure if he will return to the UFC. In terms
\nof fighter in action, there’s no question that it’s me.”<\/p>\n
