    Beat all the best LHWs of the last few years. 1 loss by DQ. Never got beaten by anyone. Is he the best ever in UFC?
    If no, why?

    I'm not sure, but once Anderson Silva got his black belt he was an amazingly exceptional talent.

    Have to go with Jones.

    I rate Cormier very highly, 2nd best of all time at LHW I feel. Still think he can beat Jones, just needs to believe in himself.

    Jones 2xwins of Cormier are the best of any active MMA fighter today.

    Has to be #2 for me, you could put Jo Jedrzejczyk ahead and that's okay because she is amaze.

    Cormier is certainly higher than Conor, I don't know who can be ahead of him besides Jones, Miocic maybe?

    DJ possibly, but weak division. If he beats someone like TJ Dillshaw then maybe that's okay. We don't even know if Conor is top 3 in his own division lol.
