Win lose or draw, this may be THE toughest schedule of fights anyone has had to face. Everyone of these guys were a top ten fighter at some point, if not top 5, former or even current champ in Stipe.

You'd be hard pressed to find a fighter who would come out on the winning end against every one of those guys, or fought a tougher schedule.

Dan Henderson

Big Nog

I was actually shocked when I looked at Hunts record and saw he never fought Big Nog, thought those two would've mixed it up at some point. Also thought Hunt fought Wanderlei twice but pretty sure I was thinking of Cro Cop.

Yeah, damn. Francisco has some balls lol.
 
I wouldn’t put any hw in there since they fight in the weakest division.
 
Dan Henderson easily has the toughest schedule of all time. Hunt has a good one tho

It's only weak in 2018. But the UFC HW division is better than it has been. Velasquez, JDS, Lesnar, Werdum, Stipe, Ngannou, Hunt, Big Nog, Overeem. The PRIDE HW division was stacked.

Honorable mention to Yuji Nagata, 0-2 reocrd but fought Cro Cop and Fedor
 
Yup he has had one of the toughest schedules ever.
 
BigFoot prime and juiced to the tits. Poor Hunto had to go through a war because BigFoot was able to eat everything and survive. Then in the rematch off the juice Bigfoot goes down immediately.

Also. The Werdum fight was on very short notice and in high altitude (!!!!)
 
Undoubtly yes.

Cause before that he fought all the baddest motherfuckers in K1 too!

Semmy Schilt
Jerome Lebanner
Hoost
Ray Sefo
CroCop
Mike Bernardo
Graham
Goodridge
Leko

...

It's insane.
 
He's definitely up there...that's not even counting his kickboxing career where he fought guys like Hoost, Sefo, Le Banner, etc.

BJ Penn has to be the guy that had the hardest strength of schedule in terms of having the fewest "give me" fights.

-His first MMA fight was in the UFC and he fought the best lightweights they had to offer.
-Fights Gomi and Hughes when they are the best lightweight and welterweight in the world
-Moves up to middleweight/light heavyweight to fight the Gracies and Lyoto Machida
-Comes back to the UFC and fights GSP and Matt Hughes at welterweight
-Wins UFC Lightweight Title, holds it for 2 years
-Fights Frankie Edgar twice
-Moves back up to welterweight and fights Jon Fitch, Nick Diaz, and Rory Macdonald

His last few of fights were against Frankie Edgar again and Yair Rodriguez, two top 10 featherweights.

No easy fights in Penn's career..
