    Hendricks never lost to Lawler according to fightmetric, thus Wonderboy is the uncrowned champion.

    Wonderboy beat the former champ and he out classed the guy who went to war with Lawler for 4 rounds.

    Dude beat 2 top 5 guys back to back. It's easily him.

    So what?

    Guys like Matt Brown and Neil Magny had similar runs... And similar to those two Holloway is a guy with good size for the division and who's good at everything BUT great at NOTHING.

    That is eventually gonna catch up with him against the Elite of the division. I.e. Frankie, Aldo, etc.


    Not to mention he caught breaks against Miller and Oliveira.

    I would go with Wonderboy by a hair over Yoel. That one is tough to call though since Yoel has some pretty great wins under his belt. I just though Wonderboy's streak was a bit better. Holloway is easily the next on the list, he's been tearing it up since facing Conor. I am a huge El Cucuy fan but I have no idea why he's on this list. He needed Khabib or this RDA fight to be taken seriously since he really doesn't have that signiture win or any really big wins... just a ton of little wins, not his fault but it's a fact.

    That's a tough one considering Ferguson stopped the undefeated GOAT Lando.

    Yoel or Holloway.

    Wondernoy in close second.

    I voted Yoel based on lots of finsihes and unpredictability in his fights. It never goes gow anyone thinks. It was hard though, Holloway has finishes and has been such a banger lately while still dominating.

    Wonderboy lacked killer instinct or punctuation mark in his Rory fight though it was a great showing, Ellenberger and Hendricks KOs are awesome but alot of people predicted it.

    Ferg is entertaining as hell but lacks quality wins and dominance. Castillo nearly beat him, Lando almost finished him, Barboza was schooling him until the illegal upkick, if im not mistaken Abel wasnt even out or tapping ref just stopped it might be a different RNC loss from Abel though that im thinking of.

    Wonderboy beat the 1 and 2 guy back to back. Finishing one of them in the first round.

    I love Max and he has a solid win streak going but he needs that big name, Edgar, Aldo etc.

    I think Wonderboy has faced the deeper talent.

    I'm going to go with Wonderboi followed by Romero. Not sure what order I'd put Fergie Ferg and Holloway, maybe Holloway then Ferg?

    Beating Hendrix and Mcdonald's back-to-back on top of stopping Ellenberger the way he did is ridiculously impressive.

    I could see an argument being made for either Wonderboy or Romero. I went with Wonderboy simply because, although Romero's opposition may be a slight bit better, Wonderboy has dispatched his opposition much more impressively.

    1. Wonderboy
    2. Romero
    3. Max
    4. Ferguson

    I'm wondering what top ten fighter you forgot about on Yoel's resume, but I'm guessing you forgot that kennedy was ranked like 6th or something at the time.

    This. It goes to Romero for sure. If not him, then Wonderboy. Also, lets not forget that Max's win over Do bronx is very much a ...................................................................................................................

    His best win is Swanson and it's not even close.

    Gotta go with Romero, it takes effort to cheat your way to the top

    These would be my rankings too but I would put Wonderboy as a pretty clear 1. I think the Hendricks and Rory wins are better than anything Max has done to this point. Romero is pretty close, and I consider his win over Jacare legit. As for Ferguson I just included him because he's top 5 ranked and on a long winning streak. I think he actually lost to Castillo and doesn't have a claim to a title shot over Khabib personally.

    Holloway is on a nine fight win streak... Automatically does it for me. Followed by Wonderboy then Yoel(arguably lost to Jacare).

    Yeah, but Max used magic on Do bronx to make him stop breathing, and Magic is not allowed in the UFC.
