Ignoring the fact that he fought pretty much every elite fighter there was to fight in his weight class (and won), sure...

Plus... for the record...
Jones doesn't have 10, not just yet (two wins vs MWs don't counted).
Anderson only has 1 more Top 10 win in his MW Title reign.

Fought cans half the time.
Jones has only reigned for 5 years, at the current pace he'll have more than 10 in a 7+ year span and thats even with a 1+ of inactivity
And fight ranked MW's > Fighting HW bums.
Anderson has 1 more and in a shorter time span, lol

Again, you're ignoring the fact that he literally wiped out all the top competition, which is exactly what people say makes Jones so great. /eyeroll
Other than Barnett, who had three chances to beat Cro Cop and couldn't do it, the only elite HW of that era who he didn't beat was Mir, who was fucked up from the motorcycle accident and clearly would have lost to Fedor around 05-06 anyway...

One year later bump...
Stipe Miocic -- 1 year, 2 months...
HW - 2016 - May 15 - Sherdog
1. Stipe Miocic (15-2) - It has been 52 years since the city of Cleveland had any kind of major sports championship, but in front of 45,000 Brazilian fans in Curitiba, Miocic snapped that streak by taking Fabricio Werdum’s UFC heavyweight championship with a beautiful right hook. The Strong Style Fight Team product is now staring down the barrel of challenges from the likes of Cain Velasquez, Travis Browne and Alistair Overeem in his first potential title defense.
3 Win vs Top 10 Ranked Opponents (HW+) in that span

Update Bump...
Stipe Miocic -- 2 years, 2 months (1st stint)

4 Wins vs Top 10 Ranked Opponents (HW+) in that span
Daniel Cormier -- 1 year, 1 month
HW - 2018 - July 11 - Sherdog
1. Daniel Cormier (21-1) Cormier added to his legacy at UFC 226, becoming only the second simultaneous two-division titleholder in the promotion’s history with a first-round knockout of heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic in the main event. Cormier remains undefeated in the big man’s division, and based on a post-fight confrontation with current World Wrestling Entertainment superstar Brock Lesnar, he could remain at heavyweight for his next title defense.
2 Wins vs Top 10 Ranked Opponents (HW+) in that span
Stipe Miocic -- 1 year, 7 months (2nd stint; 3 years, 9 months total)
HW - 2019 - August 19 - Sherdog
1. Stipe Miocic (19-3) Down on the scorecards after three rounds, Miocic showed the ability to adjust at UFC 241, as he attacked Daniel Cormier’s body to set up a fourth-round technical knockout victory in their rematch in Anaheim, Calif. Not only was it a nice rebound from his KO loss to “DC” in their first meeting at UFC 226, but it refocused talks on Miocic as potentially the greatest heavyweight of all-time. The Ohio-based firefighter now owns five victories in UFC title bouts, the second most in the history of the heavyweight division.
2 Wins vs Top 10 Ranked Opponents (HW+) in that span
Francis N'Gannou -- 0 years, 8 months...
HW - 2021 - March 29 - Sherdog
1. Francis Ngannou (16-3) [4] Ngannou brought the same ferocious knockout power into his rematch with Stipe Miocic at UFC 260, but improved takedown defense allowed him to use it much more effectively. The end result was a second-round knockout victory that made “The Predator” the 17th heavyweight champion in UFC history. The Cameroonian-born Frenchman has laid waste to some of the division’s best during his run to the top and if the promotion can make it happen, a victory over light heavyweight GOAT Jon Jones would only add to his overall legacy.

What does "wins in that span" mean to you, TS? Because Francis definitely has not had 4 top ten wins since he became #1. That's obviously his total top 10 wins. Did you do the same for everyone else?

Pictures of the champ getting his ass kicked is the real highlight of this thread.

Not a hater but he had his shine. Unfortunately it was against no names and unranked fighters with a few exceptions. I would say the same thing about most Russian fighters, including Khabib. They pad their records against people who had 1 or 2 fights then go back to day jobs or a sport less grueling. This year we saw a Russian fighter who literally lied about his record. Fedor was a great fighter. But not the best. I'll take my incoming shit storm with pride.

Not sure why this was bumped but quality thread @CoffeeAndBeer Thanks
Igor was 5'6! Jesus. Amazing. I knew he was small but damn!
The pic of Coleman about to deliver one of those knees, would not like to be on the wrong end of that.
The Francis over Stipe pic is absolute bad ass.
