3. Robbie Lawler
4. Nick Diaz
5. Royce Gracie

off top of my head
 
All time list ? Carlos only had an "interim" belt. He's cool but I would not rank him this high.
Miletich helped the game a lot but imo more as a trainer than as a fighter so I would not rank him so high too so

Solid list, i would have probably posted similar but would have to add Hayato Sakurai somewhere in my top 5.

5-0 in the WEC, capture the WW world title in WEC

went on a 5-win streak (against quality opponents, KOd top WWs in Hardy and Kim leading up to the interim title) in the UFC capped off by an interim WW title over Nick Diaz (who was essentially coming in as Strikeforce WW champ coming in with a big win streak).

extremely close fights with GSP (title fight), Hendricks and Lawler (title fight).

If that doesn't put you into all time WW list, idk what will (not everyone can pull a GSP)
 
how the hell can you have Milletech in there unless you are posting this from Zagreb. Cmon man, I love Pat as much as the next guy but you cant compare his level of comp to todays at all. He wqasnt even fully dominant against lesser comp.

gsp
Hughes
Robbie
Shields
Condit
maybe Fitch goes next.
 
I'll take a lot of heat for this but I'd put Condit above Lawler, we all know Lawler doesn't deserve his belt. Lawler gets a pass because of his fan friendly style when in reality Shields has beat him, Hendricks has beat him arguably twice, he blatantly robbed Condit.
 
Nick Diaz is #3 for sure. We all know that it's just some people feel indifferent about it.

-Nick Diaz should not trump Carlos Condit (Condit had WEC title,interim UFC title--hell, he won it directly vs Nick--and has far more quality wins, Nick's WW resume peaked in Strikeforce. Condit brought his WEC momentum into the UFC)

-Royce Gracie belongs absolutely no where NEAR a WW list of ANY kind. He has never competed at 170 pounds and it's a slap to every WW's face that Royce is mentioned here. -Royce Gracie and oldschool mma fan.
 
No, you are missing Jake Shields.

1. GSP
2. Hughes
3. Shields(interchangeable with Lawler)
4. Lawler(interchangeable with Shields)
5. Condit

Yeah. I think he is better than Hughes ever was.

Remember, I'm not saying he's "greater" than Hughes. Comparing their achievements that would probably go to Hughes.

The vast majority of people use achievements to determine all time rankings.
 
1. GSP
2. Hughes
3. Miletich
4. Nick Diaz
5. Lawler

I see some posters putting Condit on the list or Condit over a guy like Hughes or Miletich. Y'all newbies need to invest in Fight Pass and educate yourselves.
 
1. GSP
2. Hughes
3. Robbie
4. Shields
5. Condit
6. Diaz
7. MacDonald
8. Miltich
9. Askren
10. Fitch

I clearly stated that I ranked them according to who I think is the better fighter.

Its not your typical GOAT list
