1. 1

   

   Islam Makhachev

   25-1-0

   Would like to see him fight one or two more contenders in the LW division then maybe try and become double champ at LW and WW.
   

2. 2

   

   Jon Jones

   "Bones"

   27-1-0, 1 NC

   Although he hasn't been very active the past couple years, I still think he is well deserving of the #2 spot.
   

3. 3

   

   Leon Edwards

   "Rocky"

   22-3-0, 1 NC

   Would like to see him fight Shavkat before Belal just because I think Shavkat would be a more difficult test. 2-1 against one of the best welterweights ever.
   

4. 4

   

   Alex Pereira

   "Poatan"

   10-2-0

   If he beats Hill at UFC 300, he is even higher, but for now he is here until a title defense in the UFC.
   

5. 5

   

   Alexandre Pantoja

   "The Cannibal"

   27-5-0

   Pantoja is miles ahead of everyone else in the division. He has beaten everyone in the top 5. Not enough respect for him just because he fights in the Flyweight division. This is probably a weird pick for most people but I think title defenses matter and he has been very good for a long time.
   

6. 6

   

   Ilia Topuria

   "El Matador"

   15-0-0

7. 7

   

   Sean O'Malley

   "Suga"

   18-1-0, 1 NC

   Great win against Chito, I think that he needs to fight Merab then Cory. This division is loaded with talent but I believe he is good enough to beat anyone.
   

8. 8

   

   Charles Oliveira

   "do Bronx"

   34-10-0, 1 NC

   Most submissions and finishes in UFC history.
   

9. 9

   

   Dricus Du Plessis

   "Stillknocks"

   21-2-0

   Lowest ranked champion, however, with the amount of talent in the MW division, he could add to his resume very quickly if he is an active champ.
   

10. 10

    

    Tom Aspinall

    14-3-0

    I doubt he will ever fight Jon Jones which is unfortunate, but I do think he is amazing for the HW division with his speed. After Jones and Stipe fight, they will both most likely retire and then the Aspinall reign will begin.
