8 through 16 would be Shogun,Shad,Rampage,Joe B,Aldo, Gus, DC, Werdum and Hendo. Really hard to put any of those guys above the other. Aldo was probably higher last time I made this sort of list but hey last time would be before Max lost to Dustin and Aldo lost to Volk. Both those events hurt Aldo's stature in this discussion IMO. Probably had Holloway higher as well.

I agree with your top 5 in that order. I think after the first 5, it's really hard to discern. For instance, I think Aldo (not on your list) is way better and accomplished more than BJ Penn, but Penn was a maverick and the best lightweight prior to Edgar.

1. Jones
2. Fedor
3. GSP
4. Spider


5. Mighty Mouse
6. Aldo
7. Cormier

8. Hughes, Big Nog, Hendo, Penn, and maybe a few others.
 
Fedor
Bones
Anderson
DC
GSP
Hendo
Big Nog
Aldo
Holloway
Wanderlei
 
GSP
Jones
Anderson Silva
DC
Fedor
MM
Hughes
Aldo
Cruz
Hendo


Nunes, Holloway, Shogun, Wanderlei, Big Nog all honourable mentions.
 
1. jones

3. Dj
4. Aldo
5. dominc cruz
6. GSp
7. a.Silva
8. Fedor
9. cain velasquez
10. couture
 
surprised not to see randy couture on the list of most after winning the heavyweight championship twice and the light heavyweight championship despite his age.

He has a ton of losses, but I won't doubt his greatness. He's a HoF for sure.
 
1) GSP
2) Jones
3) Fedor
4) Cormier
5) Silva
6) Aldo
7) Hughes
8) Cruz
9) DJ
10) Cejudo

There's a battle for the 10 spot. Khabib, Couture, Holloway, Henderson, Artem, etc but I'm a Triple C fanboy so yeah.

My personal top 10 list would be the following:

Fedor Emilanenko
Jon Jones
Georges St.Pierre
Anderson Silva
Frank Shamrock
Jose Aldo
Daniel Cormier
Antonio Rodrigo Nougeria
Kazushi Sakuraba
Igor Vovchanchyon
 
GSP
Fedor
DC
Jones
Anderson
Aldo
DJ
Cejudo
Hendo
Nog

If Jones had a clean history he'd be at number 1, I'd move him up if he moved up in weight and beat a few heavyweights. GSP beat all his opposition and captured belts across two divisions, DC had the highest level of success in two divisions. Fedor constantly fought bigger opposition and had one of the longest mma streaks in history in the most dangerous division. After the top 5 it kind of gets messy, it's all subjective. There's no one in MMA that is the definitive GOAT unlike some other sports. If Fedor hadn't tarnished his legacy by the rather embarrassing losses later in his career he'd be as good as a choice as any.

Gsp for his outstanding record
Gsp for his impeccable conduct
Gsp for his successful comeback
Fedor for his unbeaten decade
DC for his record (only lost to one cheating man)
Silva for his mastery (but now should retire)
Khabib for his total dominance (so far)
Conor for his titles run (starching Aldo and everyone in his way)
Jones for his total dominance (would be second without the peds tainting his whole legacy)

Why is Jones always the big bad cheater and not the GOAT while Silva is some innocent man who did steroids only because he got injured? Silva is as big a cheater as Jones but doesn't even get half as much flak as Jones. Nobody questions his MW GOAT status but when it comes to Jones, all his accomplishments are null and void. Biggest double standard on sherdog imo.
