-
1
- Georges St-Pierre
- "Rush"
- 26-2-0
-
Hughes 2x, Penn 2x, Bisping, Fitch, Diaz, Condit, Shields, Koshcheck 2x, Alves, Sherk, Trigg, Hardy, Serra, Miller…
2 losses (3, if you count Hendricks). Both were avenged.
Most of his wins against elite competition were also extremely dominant.
-
2
- José Aldo
- "Junior"
- 32-8-0
-
Edgar 2x (Champ), Mendes 2x, Faber (Champ), Brown (Champ), Florian, Sung-Jung, Font, Vera, Hominick, Lamas, Munhoz, Swanson, Moicano, Stephens…
He has been in the Top 5 of his division for 13 Consecutive years.
10 years without being ranked lower than #2.
His only losses have been to the very best P4P Fighters; Moraes was his only loss to someone that was not within the Top 5 p4p, and that was a razor thin fight, with many believing that Aldo won.

3
- Jon Jones
- "Bones"
- 27-1-0, 1 NC
-
Cormier, Gustafsson 2x, Rua, Machida, Gane, Evans, Belfort, Rampage, Glover, Smith, OSP…
1-2 losses (Reyes), & he also might’ve/likely lost to Santos, (& his first fight against DC was much closer than people remember).
-
4
- Khabib Nurmagomedov
- "The Eagle"
- 29-0-0
-
Poirier (#4-7 P4P), McGregor (#2-6 P4P), Gaethje (~#11-15 P4P), Dos Anjos (Top ~#8-13 P4P), Barboza, Johnson, Iaquinta
No losses.
All of his wins were extremely dominant (except early fight against Tibau)
Against elite competition, he lost-at most-2 rounds, and both of those rounds are debatable.
And the majority of his other rounds were won-definitively/or they were 10-8s.
He was never hurt, never cut, and none of his fights against elite competition—were even close.
He was the most dominant fighter in the history of MMA …
In the toughest Division in the history of MMA.
Khabib may not have the Accolades or the "Legacy" of others, he may not have been the "Greatest Champ", and he may not have had the longevity that others have had ...
But when it comes to the "Best Pound For Pound Fighter in the history of MMA" ...
I think that it’s hard to argue that Khabib Nurmagomedov is NOT the Best P4P Fighter of All Time.
