I would have Rampage on the list. He did beat Chuck twice, he beat Hendo and does have 1 win vs Wandy. So wins over 3 guys on your list.

At their peaks I'd have guys like Shogun, Machida, etc because fighters today are just plan better than fighters a few years ago. With a sport this young things are still rapidly improving.

10. Machida

1. Shogun- Rampage, Arona, Nog, Chuck, Machida Twice
2. Wandy -In his prime he killed Rampage, twice. Maybe Roids
3. Rampage -Killed Chuck twice, Hendo, Arona, Randleman, Igor
4. Chuck- Got the better of Randy matchups. Made him move back to HW
5. Lyoto Machida -Wins over T. Silva and Tito. Beat Shad and a Obese BJ
6. Randy- His record is pepperd with losses. Prolly higher on the HW list
7. Sakuraba- Beat Rampage. Beat Royce. Beat Vitor. Sadly, he had to fight Wandy
8. Hendo- Legend. One of the best Resumes ever
9. Tito Ortiz- Beat Wandy, then a bunch nobodies untill Randy came around
10. Frank Shamrock- I think Ken is highly overrated. Frank actually did something at LHW

- If Nog wins a couple more fights on the UFC, he's on here for sure. Beat Hendo. Slug fest with Shogun. Beat up Sakuraba. Just not enough fights to knock Shamrock out of the top 10 for me.

01. Wanderlei Silva
02. Mauricio Rua
03. Quinton Jackson
04. Chuck Liddell

god dam cubua do you gotta fucking mention everyone of Bas' big wins as being over Lions Denners or guys that fought with the Den.

Ken beat Bas twice so i wouldnt have Bas on a list before Ken (IMO) , but good job for even remembering Bas

You are right, my bad. 5-10 are very interchangeable.

wasnt trying to be rude was just curious if you had a reason for it since Frank defended 4 times, Tito defneded 5 times, and Frank beat Tito in one of those defenses

I have Frank number 1 cause I honestly think he would have had 10 defenses of that title if UFC could have afforded him

completely agree, I think 1-10 is interchangable there isnt a clear cut 1.

yes I am a pimp for Bas. I think F shamrock could be 8-10 almost put him 9 at randys spot.

he is number 1 for me, but i know im biased, but damn it im right

1. Liddell - most famous anyway. His biggest wins are by far Ortiz and Couture.
2. Ortiz - Not everyone was able to build runs and years off perfect matchups and japanese Middleweights. Ortiz may not be the best guy, but he was absolutely one of the best fighters ever. Matyushenko, Kondo, Tanner, and Wanderlei Silva are hardly nobodies or cans.
3. Wanderlei - Some good wins strung throughout a career full of massacres of Gi wearing Judokas.
4. Frank Shamrock - He probably could have cut to 170
5. Shogun - very shortly I'll have him much higher
6. Rampage - First ever Undisputed LHW champion of the world, but would never retain the title. Last one to defend the UFC title specifically though.
7. Randy Couture - based just on three wins, Ortiz, Liddell, and Belfort.
8. Dan Henderson - the last Pride champion, won a LHW tournament for the UFC and a Rings tournament.
9. Lyoto Machida - It looked for a moment that he might go down as the GOAT. Time will tell.
10. tie between Saku(190), Little Nog, Guy Mezger and Forrest.

wow some tito huggary

Who has defended the LHW crown more times in the UFC? Thanks. And I don't want to hear for a second that Tito doesn't have legit title defenses. Babalu and Jeremy Horn and Wanderlei's Yocoshrio Shemishisma(x12) wins are no different.

I think people look to downgrade Tito because they hate him. Before the Jenna business he was usually top 5, now he is 7, 10, constantly. Silly.

wolf - Tito is 15-7 and does not have a meaningful win in along time.he beat wandy years ago with takedowns and literally turning his back and running away from him. He beat a downtrodened Belfort.

please dont plead a case that you know your wrong on just to hear yourself talk
