Henderson and randy under Bas? Also, by " in their prime" are we solely measuring primes? If so where is BJ?

No Minotauro, but Conor's there...

I'm out.

 

[YeahNo]

Now remove all of the guys who popped for PEDs. Cheaters can't be ranked.

 

[Alphaboy]

I approve of this list!

The guy went from 145 to 170 and you aren't even going to mention that?

Got it.

Got it.

i hate when people use this excuse. Connor cut a crazy amount of weight and almost died everytime he made 145. Hes a 155er. So is Nate.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Pride was years before your join date... but they did more than one top-tier fighter.

 

[chitoortiz]

BJ Penn should be on every list.

Wow people have short memories.

Conor never missed weight, so no.

Diaz fought at 170 I believe 4 times before the Conor fight. I don't understand how it's an excuse? I'm not one of those Conor fanboys who says the loss shouldn't count. I'm saying use context. Holloway is a massive weight cutter and he moved to 155 for Khabib, you would have thought Max was just elected President for the praise he got.

Your list is missing Matt Hughes and Big Nog if this is your criteria.
