#2 Jon Jones
Alright, I'm well aware of the fact that certain sections of fans may strongly disagree with the inclusion of Jon "Bones" Jones (22-1-0-1) in this list of UFC pound for pound greats. On multiple occasions, Jones has tested positive for banned steroids/PEDs over the course of his career, and that in turn has tainted his legacy to a certain extent.
Regardless, it'd be folly to deny the fact that Jones may very well be one of the most skilled performers to have ever partaken in a fight. Jones is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, an individual who is gifted with arguably the most diverse skill-set in the sport of MMA.
