Curious about your orders

1. Stipe- Most title defenses, two time champ, beat the best opposition
2. Fedor- Undefeated for almost a decade, against the top heavies at the time
3. Cain- two time champ, utterly mauled everyone he beat
4. Big Nog- beat a who's who, and remained competitive for years
5. Cro Cop- Smashed everyone in his early days not named Fedor or Nog (ok, and Kev)
6. Werdum- Beat the best guys (Cain, Fedor) but was inconsistent
7. Ngannou- Smashy
8. Cormier- Amazing fighter. Beat Stipe. Didn't have enough high quality opposition wins to be top 5
9, JDS- Probably the most historical early run, great champ
10. Couture- 3 time champ, didn't face the toughest opposition, but they were the toughest at that time
Honorables to Coleman, Overeem and Sylvia
 
It gets really rough around #s 8-10. But something like

  1. Fedor
  2. Stipe

  6. Cain
  7. Overeem
  8. Mirko
  9. Arlovski?
  10. Couture? Barnett? Cormier?

No mention of Arlovski epic fail
 
Sure, why not? ;)
What’s tough for Mir is that while he’s got quite a few good wins, he has one UFC title win but was stripped (no fault of his own); he also won the Interim title but never had a successful defense. Arlovski, Couture, Cormier, and Sylvia even, have better title runs.

I mean that interim title win was over Big Nog tho lol.

Other than Arlovski and Rodriguez, Sylvia had very little in the way of meaningful wins.

How do you even say Stipe is the best HW. You actually consider him one of the all-time GOATs?
