There are much better LHW's to add to that list before Wanderlei, Chuck, Tito, and Randy (e.g. Rumble, Lyoto Machida, and Rampage). Dat nostalgia bias.
Their resumes disagree with you
Jon Jones is the greatest LHW of all time. Liddell second. Then DC.
If DC defends two more times, it will be him.
LOL @ people saying Shogun.
They actually don't. All three of the ones I named have been resumes.
Nonsense.
Lol DC doesn't even have 10 fights at LHW
You noobs are too quick and idiotic to call him the LHW GOAT
Hahaha and now people say Shogun might be the best since JJ took steroids I hope they don't include his run in Pride then.
Anyone naming any of the pre-USADA fighters are pretty funny. Look how LHW's used to look back when Randy fought.
Actually most fighters are on something even with USADA, but yea, naming pride fighters and those from the old school roid era is pretty funny.
EDIT: Hahaha I didn't realize people are even saying Wand is #1 now.
Because JJ "might" have taken steroids.
No, it's just reality. Would you like to start with Randy Couture?
His top five wins at LHW are as follows:
Chuck Liddell
Tito Ortiz (x2)
Vitor Belfort (x2)
Jeremy Horn
Brandon Vera
vs.
Rampage Jackson:
Chuck Liddell (x2)
Lyoto Machida
Wanderlei Silva
Dan Henderson
Ricardo Arona
Rampage's resume is unequivocally better than Randy Couture's. That's one. Do we honestly need to go through the rest?
...
Oh, and by the way, Jon Jones is DONE!
Lyoto Machida:
Rashad Evans
Shogun Rua
Dan Henderson
Tito Ortiz
Rich Franklin
If you don't want to count Rich Franklin (on account of the fact that the fight took place at a catchweight), then you can replace him with Ryan Bader.
vs.
Tito Ortiz:
Ken Shamrock (x3)
Vitor Belfort
Wanderlei Silva
Ryan Bader
Forrest Griffin
Do I even need to say anything? And yes, controversial decisions still count whether you like them or not.
