Definitive 205 All-Time Ranking

• Jones
• Shogun
• Wanderlei
• Rampage
• Liddell
• Machida
• Rashad
• Cormier
• Randy
• Griffin
• Teixeira
• Tito
• Henderson
• Anthony Johnson
• Frank Shamrock
• Gustafsson
• Jan
• Vitor
• Lil Nog
 
Seen worse lists, but Rampage over Liddell doesn't make sense to me.

Basically if you were a good enough LHW to not only be LHW champ but also move up and be HW champ while still moving down and being LHW champ besides beating Jones rating a man at that level lowly is plain stupid

All time ranking are based on accomplishments and resume in a division, not so much on being good and the hypothetical. This is why Conor will never be among the best FWs of all time and Aldo, Max and Volk are ahead.

Glover and Rashad over DC is a joke. Also no Frank Shamrock? People forget too soon

You gotta give Rashad his due at LHW. He had a very impressive career there. 14-5 in the UFC, won the belt, has wins over Liddell, Forrest, Rampage, Davis, Hendo, Tito, Silva,

Meanwhile you rank Rich Franklin top5 MW of all-time with his 8-4 record in the division
best wins Tanner and Okami in a close dec.

Cormier unquestionably has a better case to be top5 at LHW than Rich at MW, so dont change hypotheticals for hypocrisy

Cormier was LHW champ and you and I know very well would have beaten anyone not named Jones convincingly AS A LHW. He would also beat most HW’s convincingly. I’m sorry if there is a man who creates an anomaly and or outlier in all time rankings but DC is that man and you know it. Thankfully there is only one man who this applies to or the rankings would be a hot mess but Conor absolutely could not have continued the cut and or reign at a lower weight division nor sustained dominance at any higher. Piss poor comparison

Almost as goofy as low rating the former LHW champ that probably could have been LHW GOAT if JBJ didn’t live rent free in his head who decided to reign at HW

Probablys, couldas, and shouldas. Thats not sound logic to base rankings. Its goofy.

There is no probably about a LHW champ whose only fight that he would have been an undersog at LHW being Jones. Only certaity. I’m sorry if DC created an anomaly for one dimensional thinkers on the rating scheme. Truthfully he was just that good.

The disrespect in regards to Rashad Evans is fascinating.
Liddell
Rampage
Ortiz
Bisping (took his 0 and sent him to MW)
Griffin
Henderson
Phil Davis
Thiago Silva
Bonnar

That's a better resume than the majority of people being mentioned. And beat 5 people being mentioned over him.

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

You should rate Couture top3 LHW then

I’ve seen a mummy of Couture fight against James Toney but his relevancy was before my time for me to rate

Not sure why you have dozen posts in all-time thread like this if you cant tell beyond the last decade

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
