I liked that 'documented top ten wins' topic, created by sherdogger Rester, that apparently got removed, so i took some time and counted TOP 10 wins for a lot of fighters.

NOTE 1: Unlike in 'documented top 10 wins', i counted every win vs. TOP 10 fighters, even if it's in division below or above, with a side note. Is it relevant or not, it's up to you to decide.

NOTE 2: Rankings that are relevant are just the last rankings before the match happened, so if a fighter was a top 10 when the fight was announced, but dropped out just before match, it doesn't count.

NOTE 3: Rankings till August 10 2007 are from more sources, from August 2007 only Sherdog rankings.

NOTE 4: Fighters with at least 3 top 10 wins are listed.

Here we go:

19 - Georges Saint-Pierre

Top 10 going back to 2007, because Sherdog rankings represent the birth of MMA. Sorry Fedor, Nog, Couture, Crocop, Hendo, Wand, and Belfort. The early days don't really count.
 
too much free time TS?

good work anyway tho.
 
How much time have you spent on this? Good read anyway. I hope you´ll get the pre 2007 data you need to make the stats more accurate.
 
Rob Macdonald UFC: Kristian Rothaermel

Outside UFC: Elliot Marshall
 
Awesome thread. Should be a sticky.

No, but because:
I can't find good rankings before that date, but i would like to do so, so if you have any, please, to be more accurate.

They will be added as soon as i can.

I hope too, i'll do my best.

Best MW champion ever
 
As much criticism and crying there will be around some of this data, it really is useful for anyone serious about gaining a historical perspective of fighters they may not have been around to see in the earlier parts of their careers. Great history and great legends to appreciate.
Or you can choose to ignore facts and continue to discredit some and exaggerate your favorites but remember that the next generation will be claiming your current favorite sucked if you don't set the standard now! Hespect!

You could look around Fight Matrix rankings and see what you find. The generated historical rankings go all the way back to 1990.

That's a great idea. Can we get some type of historical stickys or section around here?
If people had at least a little but of fact to reference before posting maybe we could one day have intelligent MMA discussions around here.

Exactly. Sure, it's biased against people who had solid work prior to 2007, but it's still interesting data. Thanks for putting it together TS.

Maybe, but on that previous topic i read No fightmatrix or other questionable ranking sites/systems!.
There probably is a reason why it shouldn't be considered.
