    do you also guys think that the five champs we have in the ufc right now are the strongest ever since the five weight classes were introduced?

    lesnar, machida, silva, st pierre and penn has got to be the lineup ever right? if these five were to take on the five champs at a certian period, what period do you think would have the best chance against these five?

    Can't really name a time frame because the likes of Silva St.pierre and BJPenn have ruled the division for quite some times.
    Out of all the ex-champs to face these particular champs I'd have this line up:
    HW: Couture
    LHW: Couture/Tito(thats right I said it)
    MW: lol
    WW: lol
    LW: lol
    No offense to ex champs from lower weight divisions but those guys are just so way ahead out of all ex-champs it's not comparable.

    Very true, all 5 guys right now could be champ for some time. Finally LWH champ Machida has looked great and nobody has come close to beating him yet.If Lesnar can get by Mir and keep improving who knows how long he can last.

    I think if Jardine beat Liddell fighting like Machida, Machida can beat Liddell fighting like Machida. I just think they match better against Machida even though Liddell was by far a better LHW champion over all.

    I'd have Barnett versus Lesnar, if you can count Barnett as an ex-champ (the steroids thing was super questionable).

    That's true but Barnett then and now is not the same though.
