    I'd put Wandy over Dan and Chuck, is that a really unpopular opinion? People will disagree with you all over the place but good job getting the list down for yourself.

    Igor Vovchanchyn should be top 10. He was the greatest mma practitioner before MMA went mainstream.

    Fedor #1. Never legitimately lost in his first 32 fights and was almost always the significantly smaller man.

    This. Top 10 might be high given the level of talent that came after him, but 93 is ridiculous. I refuse to entertain any list that has Bispunk over Igor as legit.

    That said, in terms of achievements and of being an early pioneer, and virtually unbeatable against his field in his prime, I could go with that rank. Igor was the prototype for Fedor, let's not forget. Let's also not forget how, as a 207lb relative midget, he would destroy multiple opponents over 270lb IN ONE NIGHT. :deal:

    Problem is he lost his big fight against Coleman, and he was out of his depth against the next gen of fighters.

    Bisping, for all his faults one bombed Luke Rockhold who's a legit P4P ATG.

    Bisping is arguably amongst the top ten MW ATG bit Vovanchyn is certainly not amongst the top ten HW ATG.

    Vovchanchyn only has 5 notable wins.kerr,kondo,sakuraba,yvel and goodridge 1.and yvel and goodridge were hardly world beaters.name a long list of great wins he had because everyone in the top ten has beaten many world class fighters.

    He was undersized, fought larger men, in an era with no weightclasses, is head to head a massive danger to anyone, this should be taken in to consideration, but I wouldnt hesitate to place him in the top 15 either.
