Matt Hughes is top ten based on record. His second title run was dissapointing with the Riggs+Gracie mismatch. And in his first title reign the guys were solid opposition but not elite level competitors(only person on a long winning streak was Sherk) and he won the title by beating the transitional champion Carlos Newton(coming off a loss before he won the belt and never/defended or regained the belt).

His biggest win over George St. Pierre was before GSP's prime but GSP's two wins over Hughes were after Hughes prime(Post-loss to BJ Penn).

But there's nobody with a comparable record to Hughes aside from Drew Fickett whose level of competition fought isn't giving Hughes a run for his money.

Hughes has never beat an Anderson Silva/Big Nog/Fedor/GSP level guy during their primes. So, yes Matt Hughes is top ten but his record is not above criticism and there is a lot better competition in welterweight right now and back then(someone like Nick Thompson is on a 9-fight win streak and isn't even top ten). So anyone who can make a comparable record to Hughes would be better than him(even if they never hold the UFC belt).

That's because he was the Anderson Silva/Big Nog/Fedor/GSP of his division, he dominated everyone for a long time.

Honestly, if he's not top 5 on your list your list is a joke. I have him top 3, with as strong a case as anyone for the top spot.

[Ajax3006]

Their list sucks, its going to end up not having Nog or Wanderlei, both those should replace BJ in a heartbeat. BJ is borderline or at 10.

[Cal2204]

I dont like his attitude much, but you cant deny what he has accomplished in his career, I would say top 5

[Ranger Danger]

I don't think Matt is the best MMA fighter of all time, but he's my favorite figher, and he's in the top 3 of my personal greatest fighters list. As for an actual MMA official ranked list, he should for sure be in the top 5.

[Couturefan1349]

no doubt hughes is top 10.....he has quality wins over so many talented fighters ..theres no looking around that
