1. 1

   

   Georges St-Pierre

   "Rush"

   26-2-0

   His second run at Welterweight is a streak of dominance that may never be repeated.
   

2. 2

   

   Jon Jones

   "Bones"

   27-1-0, 1 NC

   Big * next to this win but it's an impressive list of names and 11 total defenses, eight in a row from 9/24/11 t0 1/1/2015.
   

3. 3

   

   José Aldo

   "Junior"

   31-8-0

   The first and best UFC Featherweight Champion.
   

4. 4

   

   Demetrious Johnson

   "Mighty Mouse"

   25-4-1

   I doubt anyone will ever successfully defend a belt 11 times in a row ever again.
   

5. 5

   

   Alexander Volkanovski

   "The Great"

   26-4-0

   Three wins over Max Holloway and one-sided beatdowns over TKZ and Ortega will easily put you in the top ten. I expect him to rise further on this list.
   

6. 6

   

   Valentina Shevchenko

   "Bullet"

   23-4-1

   Flyweight GOAT. Dominated most of her title fights and overcame adversity against Taila Santos. Seven successful defenses = most in UFC women's history.
   

7. 7

   

   Kamaru Usman

   "Nigerian Nightmare"

   20-4-0

   Covington x2, Masvidal x2, and Burns makes a solid resume.
   

8. 8

   

   Amanda Nunes

   "The Lioness"

   23-5-0

   Her Bantamweight wins (Rousey, Shevchenko, Pennington, Holm, de Randamie, and Pena) are great. Her Featherweight wins are all forgettable with the exception of flash KOing Cyborg. WFW is a meme division.
   

9. 9

   

   Joanna Jędrzejczyk

   16-5-0

   Third longest title reign (five successful defenses) by a female fighter in the UFC. Won the belt off of Esparza in dominant fashion. I put her reign above Rousey's because IMO Strawweight is more talented than Bantamweight.
   

10. 10

    

    Israel Adesanya

    "The Last Stylebender"

    24-3-0

    Good quality names but not entertainment value in the eyes of some. However, KOing Whittaker and Costa has aged well.
    

11+

11. 11

    

    Ronda Rousey

    "Rowdy"  |  12-2-0

    Six defenses, all of which were finishes. A pioneer of WMMA and the most marketable female fighter ever.
    

12. 12

    

    Rose Namajunas

    "Thug"  |  12-6-0

    Both of her title reigns are limited to one successful defense each. Can't hate the wins over Zhang or Jędrzejczyk.
    

13. 13

    

    Weili Zhang

    "Magnum"  |  25-3-0

    Fantastic KO to win the belt and pulling ahead in the greatest women's fight ever to retain it. There's potential to shoot up this list if she can snatch the belt from Esparza and get some defenses under her belt.
    

14. 14

    

    Jéssica Andrade

    "Bate Estaca"  |  26-12-0

    Slam KO repaid by eating elbows.
    

15. 15

    

    Carla Esparza

    "The Cookie Monster"  |  19-7-0

    Inaugural and current Strawweight Champion, but zero successful defenses so far. If she beats Weili I'll be shocked and impressed.
    

16. 16

    

    Cris Cyborg

    27-2-0, 1 NC

    A big fish in a small pond. Her best victories have come outside the UFC.
    

17. 17

    

    Holly Holm

    "The Preacher's Daughter"  |  15-7-0, 1 NC

    Iconic head kick KO but no defenses.
    

18. 18

    

    Julianna Peña

    "The Venezuelan Vixen"  |  10-5-0

    The female Matt Serra. The most impressive thing about her title fights has been her ability to absorb damage and keep going.
    

19. 19

    

    Miesha Tate

    "Cupcake"  |  20-9-0

    Arguably a fluke win over Holm, but it was a good moment for WMMA nonetheless.
    

20. 20

    

    Germaine de Randamie

    "The Iron Lady"  |  10-5-0

    Won a fight that arguably should have been a draw due to cheating and openly ducked the clear number 1 contender due to an old drug test.
    

21. 21

    

    Nicco Montaño

    4-3-0

    Probably the worst UFC champ. Beat a 35 year old gatekeeper for the belt and failed to make weight before her scheduled defense. Hope she's doing well in life now, bit hard to dispute how badly she flopped.
