Greatest Light Heavyweight Fighters of All Time
The very best to ever compete in the light heavyweight division of mixed martial arts (205lbs).
Pride FC's middleweight fighters (Wanderlei Silva for example) are included in this list, since they fought basically the same weight as modern light heavyweights.
