Considering his age, current middleweight champion,While the aforementioned fighters, along with the likes of.As we prepare to say goodbye to another one of MMA's greatest fighters in Ortiz and bare witness to the UFC current batch of champions, some of the most talented fighters to ever compete in the sport, let's take a look at the five greatest fighters in every weight division.Emelianenko's recent three-fight losing streak may have hurt him in the present, but it shouldn't impact his legacy after going undefeated for practically a decade, with his only loss during that time coming via cut due to an accidental elbow.Over the course of his career, Emelianenko defended the Pride heavyweight title twice, won the 2004 Pride Heavyweight Grand Prix and defeated the likes of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Mirko Filipovic, Mark Coleman, Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski.Though he has had some setbacks in the UFC, Nogueira is the only heavyweight to wear both Pride and UFC belts during his career. Although he has a fighting record of 8-4 in the UFC, at his peak Torres tore through the bantamweight division. Submission, Rear Naked Choke,Miesha Tate wins via He was unable to defend his WEC title against Cruz, but Bowles earned the belt by dethroning one of the greatest bantamweights ever in Torres.Before Torres rose to the top of the bantamweight division, Beebe won 12 of his first 13 professional fights and defended the WEC title against Rani Yahya. Since then, Aldo has defeated great opponents such as Faber, Mike Brown and Kenny Florian.Earlier in his career, Faber recorded five consecutive title defenses as WEC featherweight champion. Now, the former champion of the defunct organization will set his sights on defending the UFC title against the man he took it from in an immediate rematch.Gomi may not be having a ton of success inside the Octagon, but the Japanese fighter was once one of the best lightweight fighters in the sport.Over the course of his career, the former Pride and Shooto champion defeated the likes of Rumina Sato, Jens Pulver, Tatsuya Kawajiri, Hayato Sakurai and Tyson Griffin.With wins in six straight featherweight title fights, Aldo has taken over Urijah Faber's spot as the greatest featherweight in MMA history.In 22 career fights, Aldo's only loss came in a lightweight bout in November 2005. All-Time Absolute MMA Rankings. While Faber is now an elite bantamweight, he was once the best 145-pound fighter in the world before running into a tough challenger in Mike Brown.Faber has a chance to defend his spot atop this list when he faced off against Aldo in April 2010, but "The California Kid" was unable to find an answer for the Brazilian's dynamic striking ability.Though he holds two victories over Faber, Brown was only able to defend the WEC featherweight title on two occasions before Aldo came along and took over the division.In addition to his wins over Faber, Brown also defeated Mark Hominick, Jeff Curran and Leonard Garcia en route to reaching the top of the 145-pound division.Before making an unsuccessful move to the bantamweight division, Yamamoto went on an outstanding run as a 145-pound fighter in Japan.For more than five years, Yamamoto went undefeated under the K-1 Hero's banner and recorded the fastest knockout in the promotion's history with a flying knee four seconds into his fight against Kazuyuki Miyata.In his past 16 fights, Hioki's only loss came in a split decision against Michihiro Omigawa. 2019. He is married to Jessie Moses. Had Bustamante been awarded the win in that fight, his position on this list could be very different.With his win over Jake Shields, St-Pierre surpassed Matt Hughes to take the UFC record for the most consecutive welterweight title defenses.Since St-Pierre also defeated Hughes twice in the three-fight series between the two fighters, the Canadian should now be considered the indisputable greatest 170-pound fighter ever.Though St-Pierre has taken his spot at the top of the welterweight division's all-time rankings, Hughes will forever be remembered as one of the best fighters in the history of the sport.While he no longer holds the record for most consecutive title defenses, Hughes did have two separate reigns as 170-pound champion in which he picked up four or more wins before losing the title.The first welterweight champion in UFC history, though it was known as the lightweight division at that time, Miletich defended his belt four straight times and was on his way to a fifth before getting caught in a bulldog choke by Carlos Newton.Considering he only just won a UFC title for the first time, it may seem a little early for Condit to be included on an all-time list, but "The Natural Born Killer" has beaten some of the best welterweight in the sport and had already proven himself before entering the Octagon for the first time.In addition to wins over Nick Diaz, Rory MacDonald and Jake Ellenberger, Condit defended the WEC welterweight strap three times before joining the UFC.Diaz's UFC run came up short of a championship, but the former Strikeforce and WEC welterweight champion finally proved he was an elite 170-pound fighter by defeating B.J. DEC. 2017. 2020. During that time, Hioki became a Sengoku and Shooto champion before transitioning to the UFC, where he is now one of the top contenders for Aldo's belt.Aside from a loss to Urijah Faber at featherweight, Cruz's MMA career has been spotless. It has been a hot topic lately with Conor McGregor -- who made our list --.After debating and voting, the top three fighters were separated by the slimmest margin possible.
Submission, Guillotine Choke,Nick Pace wins via KO/TKO, Doctor Stoppage,Urijah Faber wins via Had Emelianenko not been around during his Pride tenure, Nogueira may have gone down as the greatest heavyweight ever.Coleman, Filipovic, Sylvia, Josh Barnett and Randy Couture all came up short against Nogueira's excellent combination of boxing and jiu-jitsu throughout the Brazilian's 13 years and counting in MMA.Had Couture focused his entire career on one division, he very easily could have become the greatest heavyweight or light heavyweight in MMA history.
