Pick a weight class (or you can just do it across the weight classes) then group the champs in one of 3 categories: Great, Good or Average. I'm not willing to say bad, cuz heck they were champs. But I am comparing them not to a category of UFC fighters, but compared to the other champs. Here is an example:

Great: GSP, Anderson, Liddell, Hughes, Aldo

Good: Franklin, Griffin, Sylvia

Average: Maurice, Serra, Cookie Monster
 
Great: Fedor , GSP , Anderson , Jones , Aldo , Mighty Mouse , Cruz

Good: Cain , Cormier , Weidman.

Average: Serra ,
 
Great: Bisping

Good: N/A

Average: Everyone else.
 
Great : Bas Rutten
Good : No one
Average : UFC
 
Current champs

Great: Jones, Mighty Mouse & Cruz

Good: Lawler, JoJed, RDA, Bisping & Stipe

Average: Tate & DC.
 
Great: Jones, Silva, Fedor
Good: Every other champ
Average: Maybe Serra but that is even questionable because if you beat another champion you are anything but average.

What about Belforts? His glove seam cut Randy's eyelid in the first minute causing a doctor stoppage. In the rematch, Randy easily dismantled him.
 
Great - Jones, MM, Cruz, RDA (I believe. BEAST!)
Good - Lawler, DC, Tate, Joanna, Stipe
Average - Bisping (only one I wouldn't clearly favor over most of top 10)

Conor is either good or average, good resume but bigger question marks than others in the second category.
 
great: luke, chris
good: anderson
average: bisping
 
Great - Jones
Good - Robbie
Average - Conor
 
bisping is average
not average for a champ, just an average level ufc fighter
 
Legendary: GSP, Andy, BJ Penn


Solid: Hughes, Jones, Liddell, Handy


Good: Lawler, Timmy, Tee Toe, Frank Shamrock


Average: AA, Franklin, Weidman


Pleb tier: Serra, Bisping, Dave Menne

No ... not anymore. He's been Mcgregorized (only more substance and heart). He's getting paid now and he's on a fucking tear.
 
I'd put Griffin in the average pile.
