Ultimate Showdown
 

These questions of who would win in a fight between big guys and guys with training made me think. When the big guys have training who's the best?

So if a time machine were used to bring together some of the greatest fighters in their prime, who would come out on top?

Details of the fight: Anything goes whirlwind match in the octagon, a fighter is eliminated by knockout or submission. There can be only one.

So wait, they fight all at once, like all together at the same time? Ali would win because he'd just dance around in circles while everybody else killed each other.

Gracie without question. I remember a tidbit about him fighting a flat-out three hour brawl in a Rio favela.

This might be hyperbole though. But then again...

I had top pay tribute to the main man himself, Bruce Lee. He can dance around and dodge like a madman, and is an exceptional striker.

My vote goes to Liddell. Excellent takedown defense, as well as striking ability.

Ok, who else googled Billy Blanks and then laughed their ass off?

Ain't life a bitch? LMAO

Of the choices given I'd probably go with one of the MMA guys. I imagine many well trained and in shape police officers/prison guards/military operatives somewhere in the world would be able to outdo any of these guys in a anything goes type of fight. It's just too hard to be extremely well trained to fight within a rule-set and then have to fight outside of those rules.

Chuck Liddell and it isn't even close. LOL at the people who picked Bruce Lee, Gracie, and Banks.
