B/R MMA 125: Ranking the 125 Best Fighters in Mixed Martial Arts

From its earliest days, determining the best MMA fighter in the world has never been a particularly easy task.

B/R MMA 125: Ranking the Top 15 Middleweights in Mixed Martial Arts

Like at welterweight, a looming shadow has finally been lifted at middleweight. Anderson Silva’s seven-year reign, one in which he amassed 14 stoppages and 10 title defenses, was particularly brutal.
