MW All-Time Top 10?

[Willy Knuckles]

Curious to see some lists from you guys. Anderson is obviously at the top, and fighters like Gegard and Jacare deserve a spot somewhere in the Top 10, but other than that, I'm not sure who should be included. There's a conversation to be had if some of the current MW top 10 should already included, but let me see what you guys think.

#1 GSP

Solid. I would probably put Hendo in there, but I can see why you didn't.

 

[Ube]

Bisping over Weidman any day.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Solid. I would probably put Hendo in there, but I can see why you didn't.

Hendo would be high on a head to head list (which I edited into my post), but in terms of his MW resume, I think a lot of his good wins are at LHW.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

1. Anderson Silva
2. Dan Henderson
3. Yoel Romero
4. Jacare Souza
5. Murilo Bustamante
6. [TIE] Lyoto Machida/Gegard Mousasi
7. Kazushi Sakuraba
8. Vitor Belfort
9. Robert Whittaker
10. Rich Franklin

Where do you have Gegard at?

 

[Koro_11]

I honestly cant, he's got Bisping on there but not Hendo, wtf?

 

[EyeOfNewt]

Zabit deserves to be there and others cutting 100lbs to beat on ppl kids size

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Where do you have Gegard at?

Probaby just outside the top 10 both head to head and record wise imo.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I honestly cant, he's got Bisping on there but not Hendo, wtf?

I prefer Hendo to Bisping head to head, but Bisping has more good MW wins than Hendo I think, no doubt Hendo is the greater fighter overall.

Not a lot of pure MW fights. Hendo fought at a bunch of different weights. The bulk of Bisping's career was at MW and he won a modern era UFC belt in that division. I think he deserves a spot for sure. I see how its hard putting him under Hendo though when he got H -bombed to death lmaoo

 

[Ridgeback]

I like the guy but Whittaker absolutely is not a top 10 all time middle weight. I honestly think Bisping would have destroyed him

 

[Hellowhosthat]

If you look at his best wins he has Yoel Romero twice (one highly debatable to be fair), Jacare and Uriah Hall, that's pretty solid.
