I think couture and bj both belong with a higher percentage than theyve recieved thus far, same can be said for lidell and Hughes

Reason I don't put Liddell and Hughes in the same regards as Couture and Penn?? Both Couture and Penn have owned belts in different weight classes which is a huge achievement in any fighting organization, Ballator, Pride, StrikeForce and most of all the UFC. Penn even ballooned all the way to 185 to fight Lyoto Machida.

I was thinking about it yesterday.. honestly I question if Liddel even belongs on this poll. I think he's tad bit overrated.. i really wanna remove everyone and just put Silva GSP and Jones. And maybe BJ and couture
i feel like its silva gsp jones than everyone else far behind

Tier 1: Silva, GSP, Jones
Tier 2: BJ, Hughes, Couture, Aldo
Tier 3: Demetrious, Rousey
Tier 4: Liddell, Ortiz, Royce

Liddell and Ortiz in the same tier? Come on now, Liddell treated Ortiz like a punching bag.

You make a valid point.. guess he belongs in the 3rd teir.. but dont think he's as good as Demetrious

ya, but Demetrious has tier 1 potential. by the time his career is over he will be known as one of the greats, or at least i would like to see it that way.

Ya I agree.. even though he lost to Cruz.. but he was very undersized at 135.. and when its all said and done Cruz will be among the greats if he can defend his title a few more times

but just because lidell beat ortiz doesn't necessarily put him at a higher teir.. by that logic McGregor should at least be in Aldo's teir

Cruz's injuries has held him back a lot sadly, hopefully he can stay healthy from here on out.

I look at Chuck differently as well, because he actually carried the UFC for a couple years. He was their star for a while.

Ya its unfortunate, he'd already be on this poll had he remained healthy imo, arguably the best defensive fighter in mma history..

And i agree regarding Liddell.. he was an icon of the sport.. kinda like royce.. but i think thats why they are both a bit overrated.. i do agree tho lidell is better than ortiz and its not close

Agree with the overrated part as well. His looks, persona, fighting style, boosted him to that status. There were / are much better fighters than him. But he's still my boy!

Chuck is the man! From SLO, he was a bouncer, before his career took off, at a bar downtown I used to hit up when I just turned 21. I still see him around town sometimes.

Yeah my friend literally backed into him at a bar down there when he was going to Cal SLO. Everybody giggled and laughed like, ",yeah the worst person on earth to piss off." He just said no prob. And continued his convo with the other dude.

I've said it before but SLO is the most beautiful out if all the colleges imo. Frigging pismo is right there.

The Mardi Gras was awesome back then but they cracked down big time. Hundreds wrecked whatever apt complex it was that we hit up. The laundry room garbage can was up to the brim with piss lol. That's 4 feet.
Beautiful blonde beezys. Good times.

I disagree with Jones being #1, he doesn't deserve to be ahead of Silva.

Jones is undefeated and damn near dominated every single fight. No problem with him #1
