Not many fighters have dominated a weight division like Holloway has since 2014. This includes a run of wins against Jose Aldo X2, Frankie Edgar, Anthony Pettis and Jeremy Stephens, with his only loss in his last 15 fights coming when he stepped up in weight against Dustin Poirier. Max Holloway hasn’t lost a featherweight bout since he was beaten by the man just in front of him on this list Conor McGregor. Whether it was with striking blows or by submission, Demetrious Johnson could end the fight at any time, constantly demonstrating the danger he possessed as a fighter.Īfter eventually losing his flyweight belt to Cejudo in a rematch in 2018, Johnson hasn’t fought in UFC since, however, his long-lasting legacy has been well and truly established in MMA. His endless talent and versatility within the cage made him one of the most dominant forces of any weight class within the UFC. “Mighty Mouse” Demetrious Johnson ruled the flyweight division for six years, beating anyone that deserved a title shot, including current two-weight champion Henry Cejudo. Miocic has beaten everyone in the heavyweight division despite only holding the belt for two years, whether they were knockout artists or submission specialists.Īn absurd amount of mental and physical toughness has seen him through many of his fights, fully deserving his spot alongside fellow all-time greats. His most recent victory against Daniel Cormier confirmed this where he secured the win with a devastating knockout, gaining revenge against 'DC' who took his belt the previous year. Stipe Miocic has proved himself as by far the best heavyweight within the UFC over the past decade.
Whether, he finally becomes a champion in the UFC or not, there is no taking away from his almost perfect record within the organisation’s toughest weight division.
With just one loss coming in the last eight years and victories against Donald Cerrone, Anthony Pettis and Rafael dos Anjos, Ferguson’s hard-hitting punches and strong ground game is a serious problem for any fighter he faces. In 10th position is the only fighter who has never been an undisputed UFC world champion, however, he has still done enough to earn his spot on the list.Īsides from his rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, who he plans to fight in 2020, there hasn’t been a dominant fighter in the lightweight division like Tony Ferguson. Allow fighters to have their own sponsors on apparel.Here are GIVEMESPORT's top 10 fighters of the decade. All WMMA fighters signed to the UFC can now only fight in Invicta events. Increase the UFC's partnership with Invicta. All manlets signed to the UFC can now only fight in WEC events. No more cancelled title fights and short notice replacements who haven't been in camp training for a fight (and preparing for the possibility of fighting the champion).ģ. If one of the fighters in the title fight is removed from the card for whatever reason, then the next highest ranked fighter moves up and takes his place. Institute a strict contractual policy requiring the champion of each weight-class to fight the next highest ranked uninjured fighter every 4 months, and require the 2 next highest ranked uninjured fighters in that weight class to be on the same card. Institute fighter rankings as a consensus from multiple sources, instead of current arbitrary bullshit rankings. Increase weight class limits by approximately 10-15% to reflect that fighters can no longer be dehydrated at weigh-ins.Ģ. Fighters must make weight AND meet minimum hydration level. Measure hydration level as part of weigh-ins.
