Boredom struck me, let's stir up some ish. Based on careers and records. Not necessarily who is the better fighter but in tangible achievements and results. The newer fighters still got time to ruin their legacy and I don't consider losses of 40 year old fighters much. Once you're out of any reasonable age to be in your prime.
Justification of my choices
1 Jones - apsolutel phenom that destroyed world class fighters from a young age on. Youngest champ, I think after Vitor. Well rounded. No real losses but a DQ. Tough division. Dominated for a decade. Special talent and close to flawless career.
2 Khabib - no losses, dominated everyone but Tibau. Didn't fight all the top guys but ran trough everyone he fought and noone got him in trouble. Perfect record.
3 GSP - first truly well rounded fighter, elite in all 3 main disciplines, striking, wrestling & Bjj. Title defense after defense. Became predictable that he'd beat any challengers. Avenged his losses multiple times and in dominant fashion.
4 Stipe - fought a somewhat older division but the ranking is simply on wins. Beat DC twice, beat Francis. Only 3 losses at HW. Most HW championships.
5 DC - only lost to Jones and Stipe. Elite olympian athlete. Dominated world class opposition. Won a very strong Strikeforce HW Gp. LHW & HW champ. Natural talent.
6 Spider - doesn't have to be explained. Dominant MW champ. Phenom in his prime.
7 Izzy - Before his recent loss to Poatan beat almost everyone in the top 10 and started lapping. 5 title defenses. 2 close losses.
8 Francis - knocked out Stipe and is the epitome of the new generation HW monster. Power like Tyson. Beat Gane. Only real loss to Stipe and that fight vs Lewis doesn't even count much.
9 Fedor - the emperor. Some will consider him the goat others say he's overrated. One of the quickest most well rounded and talented fighters. 30 fight win streak. Great boxer, some of the best ground and pound and excellent submissions. Many will rank him top 3 or 1. Unfortunately didn't cross over to the UFC but dominated Pride FC and showed elite longevity to his career.
10 Valentina Schevchenko - in my option the most skilled female fighter thus far. Only competitive losses vs a bigger Nunes, and the second fight was questionable. And a cut vs Liz which she avenged. Record full of dominant wins. Makes other wmma stand outs look average. One of the cleanest technical strikers in both female and male mma.
