    Lightweight: BJ Penn, no doubt about it. He has consistently beaten the best of the best. If Edgar holds the title for a couple of years though, he'll probably take the spot. Even if you thought Penn won the first fight like I did, there is no doubt Edgar dominated the second one. For now, though, Penn is the most dominant.

    Welterweight: Georges St-Pierre. He has beaten everyone he has fought at least once, and I maintain that he beat a prime Matt Hughes twice.

    Middleweight: Anderson Silva. He has dominated the division for years, I don't really think this weight class leaves room for a differing opinion.

    Light heavyweight: Wanderlei Silva. C'mon, how could you say Couture when Silva held the Pride Middleweight (203 lbs) title for 5 years? No one except Ortiz and Liddell have been nearly as dominant with the title, and no one but Silva has beaten better competition while champion out of the three.

    Heavyweight: Fedor. I think Lesnar will take this spot in the near future, but until he beats Cain and Junior, I don't think he's as close to being at Fedor-domination levels as people think. Perhaps Lesnar has faced dlightly better competition, but ge needs a few more wins as I said to be the most dominate. Remember, he's only had 2 defenses so far.

    Heavyweight: Fedor Emelianenko. There's a reason the man went practically undefeated against the world's best heavyweights for almost a decade. He usually beats fighters in areas where they're supposed to be the most dangerous (Crocop on the feet, Nog on the ground, etc).

    Light Heavyweight: Wanderlei Silva. Again, he went undefeated for a loooong stretch. His fighting style could best be described as a whirling buzzsaw of human destruction. During his title reign, he bested the likes of Sakuraba, Rampage, and Arona.

    Middleweight: Anderson Silva. From his rise in Pride and Cage Rage to his current UFC title run, Anderson hits like his bones are laced with adamantium, and even if placed on his back, uses his lanky build to find a way to win.

    Welterweight: Matt Hughes. For about five years, only one of Hughes's UFC fights was not while he was the champ. During that time, he defeated the likes of Frank Trigg, Hayato Sakurai, BJ Penn, and GSP.

    Lightweight: Takanori Gomi. It was a close call, but Gomi dominated Shooto and was the Pride LW champ when the organization folded. Names on his hit list included Hayato Sakurai, Marcus Aurelio, and Rumina Sato. His top-game grappling and powerful punches made him a tough match for anyone.
