Who do you consider the 5 best current fighters not holding a belt right now? Some candidates not in any particular order: Werdum, Cain, Jones, Gustuffson, Romeo, Jacare, GSP, Wonderboy, RDA, Khabib, Frankie, Aldo, Cruz, Garbrandt, Shevchenko, Andrade, Joanna Contender
 
Good question:

HW: Werdum
LHW: Gus
MW: Romero
WW: RDA
LW: Khabib
FW: Edgar
BW: Cody
FLW: Cejudo

Out of those, I'd say Werdum, Gus, Romero, Edgar, and RDA are the best 5 due to accomplishments. Khabib is 6th because he's never won a belt, his resume isn't stacked like Romero's, and unlike Gus he hasn't given the two GOATs of his division the fights of their lives. That can easily change this year, though.

Interesting call on Cejudo, he looks good lately but doesn't have the resume of Benavidez who also edged him out, I would've probably put Joe B before him.

Agreed except RDA. I'd slot WB in there. Don't see anyone beating him thats not named Woodley.
 
Tony Ferguson
Whitaker
Holloway
Cody
Jones

Whittaker is champ, though?
Hard to catch up with all these interim belts, but I think he's the real champ now lol.

So is Max, so he listed 2 champs lol... 3 if you count Tony's interim
 
Werdum
Romero
Khabib
RDA
Cejudo


I felt like Cejudo beat Joe B. I think he will officially defeat him if they rematch.
