spider, beat the #1 WW before becoming one himself, just prior jumping to MW.

Not sure that qualifies him as top 3 all time. More recently Serra beat the #1 WW of all time, he should be a head of Silva then, right?

But he wasnt ever ranked as the #1 WW like Silva was for a while.

s--- out of ideas for this one
It's hard to put Royce in anywhere as the dude often fought in an open weight class so was unable to make an impact on a division. Same with a few of the old school fighters, Frye, Shamrock, Ruas etc unless they went past their prime.

Would Royce be considered a MW for his career? That's where he fought Hughes right? I'd put him up there....not many people at that weight class would beat him back in the day. Overall Silva/Hendo/Wandy have passed him but I'd say he warrants top 5 MW consideration if thats the weight he would've fought at...

It's tough to do the all-time lists. Easier to maybe break it up into era's. 1993-1999, 2000-2006, 2007-present

I would take out Mir, and replace him with Barnett. Not sure how you would do it, but I think you have to add Igor Vovchanchyn in there somewhere as well, and Randy needs to be there. IDK, HW is pretty hard to cut to just 5 guys. I'd say....
HW
1. Fedor
2. Big Nog
3. Randy
4. Barnett
5. Cro Cop (on second thought, maybe Igor isn't top 5 after all)
LHW
1. Wandy (he was champ of the world's biggest MMA org for a way longer peroid than Chuck was)
2. Chuck
3. Rampage
4. Shogun
5. Tito
MW
1. Silva
2. Hendo
3. Rich
4. Murillo Bustamante
5. Evan Tanner
WW
1. GSP
2. Hughes
3. Sakuraba
4. Miletich
5. Royce Gracie/Carlos Newton
LW
1. BJ
2. Gomi
3. Pulver
4. Aoki
5. Uno/maybe Sakurai as well
