Jones, GSP, Cruz, Tj, benson, Mighty mouse and Aldo are probably the most complete fighters with no real "exploitable" holes in their game.
Yup, having a weakness is one thing, being able to exploit it is a whole 'nother story. If we take GSP and Jones for example, both of them suck at boxing in the pocket, they don't have Robbie Lawler's ability to move, defend, and bang it out in mid-range boxing and they really don't like to be there. The problem is it's damn near impossible to get them there, try to get in the pocket with them and they'll either reset to the outside with their great distance control and potshot you from there or they'll drive in with a double leg (GSP) to work the ground game or get in close for some clinch abuse (Jones).
IMO there's always a weakness along with a way to exploit it. The fun part is figuring out how to do it and getting the right fighter with the right skill set to pull it off.
