Definitive 205 All-Time Ranking

[Leon Edwards]

I believe the 205 GOAT ranking is the most difficult to rank. The reason being is because most 205 fighters have fought in 185 and/or 265 sometime in their careers.

1. Jones
2. Rua
3. Jackson
4. Liddell
5. Wanderlei
6. Ortiz
7. Teixeira
8. Machida
9. Evans
10. Cormier
11. Griffin
12. Blachowicz
13. Couture
14. Henderson
15. Belfort/Noguiera/Johnson

Cormier 10 this list is a joke. Ru above DC? DC would throw RUA over the octagon.

Goat isn't about peaks.. you have to include their losses, no matter how much of shell of their former selves they become.

Why? If someone is a shell of their former selves it doesn't at all speak to the greatness of their former selves. Plus everyone becomes a shell if they fight long enough so why punish fighters for it?

How many title defenses?? Cormier has 3.

I was thinking title wins not title defense... He's got 6 or 7 overall title wins

Yes, but many are at HW. For a LHW ranking, I am only evaluating a fighter’s resume and accomplishments at LHW.

 

[chiefwiggum]

Wanderlei should be 2.chuck 3. 4 shogun. and then it gets more difficult.
Jan shouldn’t be on the list. Imo.

 

[JustBleed69]

Terribly bad list.


Also UFC and Pride careers should be separated.

 

[JKS]

Good list!

I like the first two

Cormier 10 this list is a joke. Ru above DC? DC would throw RUA over the octagon.

Shogun has accomplished far more at LHW than Cormier. Who would win is irrelevant and hypothetical. Cormier is 6-1 at LHW. Most of his career was at HW.

That is why many don't put DC high on the LHW list, he has 7 fights.

 

[MCS]

1. Jones
2. Shogun
3. Wand
4. Chuck
5. Rampage
6. DC
7. Hendo
8. Couture
9. Lyoto
10. Glover

Honorables: Rashad, Jan B, Arona, Tito, Busta, Rumble, Diet Nog

 

[Simple Southerner]

Wand should be ahead of Chuck & rampage

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

hard list to make.

tito ortiz has 5 defenses, so he cant be lower than others with less right?

what about dc? no doubt he cleans house with anyone not named jon jones.

Dave Menne is higher than Yoel Romero, Jacare Souza or Mousasi right?

 

[MartinGibson86]

Shit I forgot about Rumble......205 is just so stacked. Rumble beat Lil Nog when Nog was out on the streets training for cab money.....couture.....yeah lets get him out
New
Jones
Rua
Wandy
Liddell
Frank Shamrock
Rampage
Rumble
Tito Ortiz
Hendo
Lil Nog

Shamrock, Tito, Hendo, and Rumble but no DC????

 

[Mind Mine]

DC barely had any fights at 205. How is he #2?



Shogun never had a run of dominance at 205. How is he above Chuck & Wanderlei?

Basically he had a bunch of fights at 205 could have made 205 his whole career pretty much and would beat the shit out of anyone not Jones

 

[Poatan Power]

DC is 10th? Behind glover, tito, evans...lol ok

 

[Mind Mine]

Shogun has accomplished far more at LHW than Cormier. Who would win is irrelevant and hypothetical. Cormier is 6-1 at LHW. Most of his career was at HW.

That is why many don't put DC high on the LHW list, he has 7 fights.

He was LHW champion bubba. If it’s so easy to be the LHW champ and be HW champ Shogun Chuck Rampage and everyone you rate higher would have done it. Sherdog kills me lol

 

[Poatan Power]

For beating Old Andy, Cummins, Rumble, and Grandpa Hendo? I mean was DC ever ranked #1 in his career at 205?

I don't converse with trolls or new accounts that say stupid shit. Quote back if you want, but if you do and it's as stupid as this post, then you're getting blocked.

 

[turbotime]

Shamrock, Tito, Hendo, and Rumble but no DC????

Yes.

 

[turbotime]

Cormier lol, go cry again

 

[Shogun515]
