Fighters with the most top 10 wins
The list is based on rankings from reputable sites like sherdog, mmaringereport, mmanews, mmaweekly, mmafighting.... back to the year of 2000.
the research took me a lot of time. i just wanted to know which current fighter had the most quality wins, it's not about who is the best p4p or whatever.
a top 10 win counts only when you fight him on the weight where he is ranked at.
example: fedor defeated lindland(ranked mw). it doesn't count because he fought fedor at hw. if fedor would have fought him at his own weight, i would count it.
anderson's ww wins count because he fought them at their own weight.

Tier 4 7-9 Wanderlei Silva, Quinton Jackson, Shinya Aoki, Mauricio Rua, Mirko Filipovic, Takanori Gomi
