How do you rank the main 3 WEC Lightweights?

Considering Cerrone has never been champ in the UFC, Pettis beat him and beat Benson twice, its a pretty easy hierarchy.
 
I'm not mad at anyone interchanging Bendo with Pettis, but Ant stayed in the big leagues, hasn't stopped fighting killers and strangled Chiesa, KO'd Wonderboy (what Woodley couldn't pull off in 10 rounds) along the way. That edges him out for me.
Yeah, how come you got the BTK symbol as your avatar?
 
Benson has too many razor-close/controversial decisions for me to rank him as number 1.

Funny how the fourth man of the trio, Jamie Varner, never came anywhere close to what people expected of him.
 
I though Pettis won the guida fight. He was more aggressive beat him up from the bottom and went for many submissions.

I may remember it wrong as it’s been a while since I’ve seen it.

it was kind of similar to mousassi beating up king mo off his back. But they gave the fight to the guy on top as they don’t know what they’re watching.
He would be much more likely to get the decision these days. Judging still sucks sometimes but I feel like its come a long way specifically because of the new criteria
 
Gilbert over Cowboy. Cowboy never won a belt. He's not one of the top 3.

Jamie's first fight with Cerrone was his peak and even in that. Not exactly the best finish ya know.

Jamie vs Pettis is a somewhat interesting fight but I imagine Anthony would have been too dynamic
