OK, I just noticed that it's been SIX years since I started doing these rankings.
I thought I would go back and make note of fighters that have truly lasted the test of time.

Here are guys that were also ranked in the top 10 six years ago in 2010 (and where they are now).
We actually have 12 fighters.
Only 3 have been ranked the entire 6 year period. Velesquez, Jones, and Belfort only missed time due to inactivity/suspensions.

HW
4 JDS (#3): Continuously ranked (lowest was #6 in first quarter of 2016)
5 Velasquez (#
8 Overeem (#4)

LHW
1 Machida (#9 MW): Continuously ranked (#9 was his lowest ranking)
4 Mousasi #8 MW)
5 Jackson (#10)
8 Jones (#1)

MW
4 Belfort (#4)

WW
8 Johnson (#3 LHW)
10 Conditt (#3)

LW
1 Edgar (#2 FW): Continously ranked (lowest was #9 at FW)
6 Alvarez (#3)

Six damn years, jesus! That is some interesting stuff. I assumed Jones would be up there, but honestly Vitor was kind of a surprise.

Johnson was #8 WW 6 years ago and is #3 LHW now.

You couldn't make that up.
