Top 10 fighters from first 3 seasons.

**DimmuSakuraba** · 08:22 PM

I decided first 3 seasons since season 4 is full of people who've fought longer than season 1 fighters. Season 5 and 6 haven't had enough time to prove themselves as much.

I was about to do a topic ranking who I think are the top 10 fighters from the first 3 seasons in order of my opinion, but after evaluating every fighter and their wins/losses, competition, this guy beat that guy but that guy beat this guy who this guy beat earlier but got knocked out by this guy...................... I realized how fairly equal and successful so many of the fighters are and can't do a very rock solid ranking. Literally, my #8 could've been number 1 and everybody is so close I decided I can't do a definitive ranking. But, heres how I feel in general.

After thinking through it, even though hes faced the toughest fighter in the UFC that lots of people on the top 10 haven't and beat tougher competition that other fighters haven't either. I couldn't get Leben in the top 10 and hes a very close #11 due to him losing to Kalib and Macdonald.

#9 and 10 are

Mike Swick
Nathan Quarry

#8-2 in no real definitive order
Diego Sanchez
Joe Stevenson
Josh Koscheck
Rashad Evans
Kenny Florian
Michael Bisping
Keith Jardine

#1
Forrest Griffin

I tried to do a top 10 list analyzing why fighters rank where they are but just couldn't do it at all since its so freakin close. I could understand why anybody would put any of my top 8 over Forrest honestly. If anybody else can do it, you're better than I am.
