Would it be fair to put him somewhere around 25? He wasn't a master of anything besides the Donkey Kong smash. Couldn't impose his hands on anyone elusive (since he lacked boxing fights), couldn't impose his wrestling on a wrestling expert(started wrestling late in life). Never liked kicks much. Wasn't interested in BJJ;

But he was a strong guy in a mount position.
 
Across all divsions? Top 40 maybe. Top 50. Somewhere around there.
 
ArI we talking all weight classes or LHW?

If it’s just LHW I’d have him at 10 all time.

UFC champ unified the pride belt defended the belt.
8-9 agains ufc/pride champs
 
Dc below rampage? Dc beat everyone and their cousin
Yeah you’re right but Rampage at number 5 is spretty fair. I’d put him above Liddell and Little Nog.

Rampage felt a little Mike Tyson esque. If you weathered the storm he faded. I don't feel he had that elite champions will.

Or he just wasn't good enough. I feel like he could have given Jones a tougher fight. He seemed tired
 
There were so many good fighters in LHW. I think eventually mainstays like Wanderlei, Hendo, Couture and Tito are going to fall out of top ten. I don't think people mention Vitor, Lyoto and Shamrock much anymore. I don't think little Nog belongs on any top ten list.
