Active fighter who has faced the toughest competition in the UFC?

Reem is up there

JDS
Werdum 2x
Mir
Lesnar
Cro Cop
Hunt
Shogun 2x
Arona
Lil Nog 2x
Belfort
Chuck
Igor
Bigfoot
Kharitonov 2x
Rothwell
Goodridge

That includes 7 UFC Champs and 2 Pride Grand Prix winners.

He has a resume that's up there with the best of em. And that's not including the long list of top kickboxers he fought.
 
Machida has gotta be up there

Romero
Luke Rockhold
Dollaway
Weidman
Mousasi
Munoz
Davis
Hendo
Bader
Jon Jones
Randy
Rampage
Shogun(x2)
Rashad
Thiago
Tito

Just in the UFC.
 
I'dsay hendo he fought wWanderlei anderson rampage both nNogueira Vitor 3 times fFedor machida franklin and shogun twice and DC only big names he's missing from his weight classes are Jones and chuck
 
Brilliant! Kevin Randleman had a tough all-time opposition list too.

Another awesome thing about Hendo is he has beaten some of the best fighters of his era who also greatly outweighed him.

He beat both Pride HW champs, Pride MW (LHW) champ, Pride MW GP winner.

UFC champs Bustamante, Shogun, Vitor Belfort, Franklin.

That's like every big name champion of his era minus Tito/Chuck/Randy.

All time would be Big Nog, Hendo, Wand and Chuck.

But how about Werdum's resume?

Fedor
Big Nog 2x
Sergei
Arlovski
Overeem 2x
Bigfoot
Hunt
Cain
JDS

There are probably more gpod fighters he fought but that's all I can think of at the moment.
 
All time? I'd say Hendo
 
Gotta agree with Belfort, Jones, Rockhold, Weidman, Rumble, Silva, Overeem, Liddell, Hendo, and that's just to name a few.

Allen Goes
Carlos Newton
Quinton Jackson
Anderson Silva
Rousimar Palhares
Rich Franklin
Michael Bisping
Mauricio (Shogun) Rua x2
Lyoto Machida
Rashard Evans
Vitor Belfort x2
Daniel Cormier
Gegard Mousasi
Tim Boetsch

Outside the UFC hes fought Bonnar, BJ Penn, Rich Franklin. Thats an impressive resume.
 
Edgar
Swanson/faber/bendo x2/Penn x3/oliveria/Maynard x2/ aldo/mendes/sherk/franca
I gotta agree with this one, and you can add Tyson Griffin, Spencer Fisher and Jim Miller to his list of wins, all solid LW's at the time.

Looking at his resume since coming to the UFC he's fought nothing but killers, maybe one guy outside the top 10 in his entire UFC career... Frankie doesn't get enough credit imo.
