I'd be curious to see who people think the 10 best featherweights of all-time are not UFC withstanding.
I tried to do a top ten but I could only come up with nine that would really belong.

The champ champ achievement is a bit overblown as he was only I believe the second person allowed to go for it? Silva likely would have done it if given the opportunity without the favorable match-up Conor received against Alvarez. Let's be honest, Conor is 2 -2 against LW's with both those losses being complete waxing.

I agree. It's also important to point out the fact he hadn't EVER competed in the UFC at LW, had never defended a belt, so his in-cage merit was not deserving of a second title shot. His out of cage merit is what got him the title shot. @Mike Porch MMA

I f---ing clicked on Max by mistake. It’s Conor. He beat primed Aldo, beat Mendes, Poirer and Max. I love Max to bits, but he lost to Conor. Only one way to find out and that’s to run this back at FW

agreed his 13 second ko was crazy

Why is McGregor in the discussion? How many title defenses has he had? I like him but he is a showman / conman not a champion. Quits too easily.

So the other 2 were whooped by a conman? That doesn't look good for them

It's a good pick, even though his FW record isn't that impressive he is a p4p guy and 145 seems to be his natural weightclass
I believe it's
18-6
LW -10-0-1
FW - 5-3
BW - 3-3-1
