Forgot to say in the title "STRIKERS" sorry guys. Anyway I also posted below on a reply the most accurate in takedown, takedown defense and takedowns landed.
http://blog.fightmetric.com/2011/01/ufc-leaders-significant-strike-accuracy.html
1. Anderson Silva 68.4%
2. Cheick Kongo 61.3%
3. Cain Velasquez 60.9%
4. Lyoto Machida 60.1%
5. Evan Tanner 59.0%
6. Randy Couture 58.7%
7. Georges St.-Pierre 56.2%
8. Matt Hughes 55.2%
9. Mauricio Rua 54.8%
10. Caol Uno 54.6%
Just found this interesting you know guys thought I'd post it. And intriguingly as the first UFC on Fox looms, Cain (top 3 all-time!) is more accurate than JDS (47%).
Your overall feelings on this guys?

Stats like that really make you stop and think about how bad ass and surgical those guys are.
Kongo wouldn't be that high if you take away all his intended groin shots
MercWaMouth85 - No surprise ando is #1. I'd like to see a list done for td's. <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>

Kinda surprising that though GSP leads TDACC and TDs landed he's just third on TDD.

GlGAHEART - Kinda surprising that though GSP leads TDACC and TDs landed he's just third on TDD.This page on the same website seems to be more recent than the one you referenced (Sep 17 vs. Feb 8) and has GSP at number two.
Kumite4 - Stats like that really make you stop and think about how bad ass and surgical those guys are.
Totally dude but what puzzles me bro is that how can GSP a top 10 accurate striker yet he doesn't have KO power man? Not a criticism on GSP pal, he leads TDs anyway, but just kinda weird mate.

Kongo kicks someone in the nuts 61.3% of the time, FACT.

I don't understand your question here.
What is so hard about understanding that someone is an accurate striker but doesn't have KO power?
Accuracy and KO power are two completely different things. Lots of fighters are highly accurate but lack KO power. Conversely, lots of fighters have KO power but are not accurate 
Surprised Bisping isn't on that accuracy list.
Good thread.

Lloyd gave me my bluename - Do the accuracy stats include strikes on the ground from top position?
I'm not surprised about 1-4 but skeptical regarding Couture and Hughes
I believe it includes any and all strikes.

According to this link :
http://blog.fightmetric.com/2011/01/ufc-leaders-significant-strike-accuracy.html
[i]This percentage or "rate" stat is just like completion percentage in football or free throw percentage in basketball. It simply divides the number of significant strikes landed by the number attempted and produces an accuracy percentage. A reminder: significant strikes refer to all strikes at distance and power strikes in the clinch and on the ground. It does not include small, short strikes in the clinch and on the ground. Since nearly all of those small strikes land, the list becomes unfairly skewed to those that stay the busiest, but do the least damage.[/i]
Kinda surprised me too to see non-pure strikers in there as well but stats don't lie I guess.

Arlovski's TDD is a little misleading though. Who did he fight in the UFC that could wrestle?
Obviously includes strikes on the ground, which is misleading imo. It's a lot harder to miss your opponent when you're lying on top of him.
BigWilliam - Arlovski's TDD is a little misleading though. Who did he fight in the UFC that could wrestle?
Jake O'Brien, tiny Vladdy, Ricco, Werdum.
Id like to see wanderleis accuracy. Terrible.
What was Matt Riddle's accuracy in that FotN from a few events ago?

He throws a ton of jabs, and is very accurate with them.
Accuracy and KO power are two different things.
