Top 10 MMA fighters of all-time

See my post below - The guys in pink are already retired, or effectively retired.

The guys in orange have already had the peak and the vast majority of their careers, and anything they did now would not negate that and drop them significantly lower than they already are.

The guys in light blue are the only guys who could conceivably jump up the list as I see it (only 2 out of 10), but it's highly unlikely that either will do IMO.


I mean, it's easy to pick the ten greatest fighters as of right now without all the hand-wringing about them not being retired yet, but even then most of the guys who are enshrined in the top 10 are already past the main parts of their careers anyway (obviously superfights between GSP and Anderson or between Anderson and Bones could shake this up, but I personally don't expect either fight to happen).
