Pretty impressive research the guy did? Or severe pity for lack of life. Interesting no doubt.

That make a pretty solid first ballot MMA HOF right there.

Justifiable for sure. All have been a champ too or at the very least a Grand Prix winner (Mirko).

Without doing a lot of research and basing it off speculation or what my top ten would look like during the career of these fighters, here is some guesses based on looking at records quickly. I imagine this list means wins over top ten fighters at the time they fought.

Then again I donno how Shogun has seven top ten wins.



Forrest has 2 or 3.

Rashad has 3.

Ortiz has at least 6 top ten wins. More if you count fighters who made the top ten later. Less if you don't count Wandy who had already won the IVC title(a bigger deal back then, Brazil's most prestigious title then) against Eugene Jackson who had to have been considered top-ten material at the time.

Little Nog has between 3-5, not sure if some of his early wins were "top ten" at the time, like Mezger and Saku, since he fought those guys around 02 and they were a lot better a couple years before that and had a lot of losses in that period and were in their declines. Actually some of Nogs best wins have come recently. Vladimir, Luiz Cane.

Wandy has between 5 and 8 depending on how some of those wins really pan out. I don't remember Quinton Jackson actually being top ten at the time of those fights.

Rampage, Arona, Lil Nog, Overeem 2x, Chuck, Nakamura were all top 10 LHW when Shogun fought them.

The ranks are always debatable. He bases the rankings off of Sherdogs at the date of the fight.

wow overeem was a lhw top ten? ya ok.

Nakamura is prettttty debatable too.

+1 Good stuff Farmer. Nog has been in some wars
