No one really stands out, all solid journeymen/gatekeepers/contenders. It's obvious who falls in to what category, but in order Id go Nick Kenny Diego Nate George Joe
The current version of Nick Diaz is better than the best versions of the rest of those guys IMO. And Sotiropolous is the worst by quite some distance.
Nick Diego Kenny Nate (If he keeps current form and adds another few wins I can see him taking over Kenny & Diego) George Joe Daddy. (Really want to put Joe daddy above George but thats probably me being a nuthugger)
I still watch Joe Daddy vs. BJ from time to time, its one of the most vicious beatings I've ever seen in UFC, its borderline ****. Joe Daddy is getting ****ed up and he's almost crying on the ground when BJ locks in the RNC. Brutal fight, he was never the same.
Hard to see George taking Diego down, or having the power in his strikes to to back Diego up in the stand up. But on a good day, who knows
Yeah pretty horrific was like watching a gore film with the amount of blood flowing. He had a very good guillotine in his earlier days.
Joe Stevenson beat Nate Diaz and Melvin Guillard, in his day he was a top 5 in his division. In the period 06-10, he only got beat by the best (Penn, Florian, Sanchez). IMO, Sotiropolous was never really on this level. The only very good win he has is Joe Lauzon, but Lauzon is lucky if he's ever really been top 10. Other than that fight, his resume is pretty **** (best of the rest being past-prime Stevenson and past-prime Pellegrino). GS's long unbeaten run doesn't really go heavily in his favour, as his comp was pretty ****, especially compared to Stevenson's. Stevenson lost every minute of every round to BJ Penn... but Sotiropolous took the same dominant beating off ****ing Dennis Siver!
