Mike Easton(2014) and Assuncao(2016) were top 10 when TJ beat them.

I'm about to go through the rest of this list and your others with a comb and see how the list changes.

How does Scott Jorgensen not count as a top 10 win for Barao? He was coming off a title shot and a 2 fight win streak after that. Prior to the loss to Cruz he was on a five fight win streak with a win over Brad Pickett. He had to have been ranked. He was one of the best guys in the division at that time.

I'm about to go through the rest of this list and your others with a comb and see how the list changes.

My rankings are based on FightMatrix; the UFC rankings only existed as far back as 2013 and only applies to UFC fighters (they're also ranked based on who the UFC wants to promote the most as opposed to who's the most legitimate).

See:

• Only less than half of the above media members have a primary focus on MMA.

• Roughly one-third of the above media members don't even (primarily) cover sports.

• At least two of the above media members' domains are for sale.

• A good portion of the above media members are nothing more than Facebook/Twitter pages.

ah yes! good memory buddeh! the names were totally skipping my mind when i made the post. thanks for that!

*found what i was looking for.*

Jorgensen was ranked #12 at the time.

Updated Petr Yan's resume.

 

[Hdfi]

Adding another top 10 win for the GOAT BW Dominick Cruz:
#9 Pedro Munhoz (UFC 269)
https://www.fightmatrix.com/mma-ranks/bantamweight/

 

[acannxr]

I updated Cruz' resume.

 

[Fioretti]

The concept of these threads are dope, but I really wish you wouldn't use Fight Matrix, man. That shit's inaccurate as fuck, and makes all of these threads incorrect.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Cruz is still the 135 GOAT.

 

[acannxr]

Updated Sterling's resume.

 

[acannxr]

Updated Sterling's resume.

 

[acannxr]

1. Dominick Cruz - 7 title fight wins - 5 defenses
2. TJ Dillashaw - 5 title fight wins - 3 defenses
3. Miguel Torres - 4 title fight wins - 3 defenses
4. Renan Barao - 4 title fight wins (3 interim) - 1 defense
5.. Aljamain Sterling - 4 title fight wins - 3 defenses - Tbh he should be 2 wins with 1 defense ( I'm not counting a DQ and a win over compromised TJ)

6. Henry Cejudo - 2 title fight wins - 1 defense
7. Chase Beebe - 2 title fight wins - 1 defense
8. Petr Yan- 2 title fight wins (1 interim) - 0 defenses

7. Cody Garbrandt - 1 title fight win - 0 defenses
8. Brian Bowles - 1 title fight win - 0 defenses
9. Eddie Wineland - 1 title fight win - 0 defenses

Do you agree?

See OP.
