I'd have Aleksander Emelianenko somewhere around 4-6

[Bluto]

the list is kinda fucked up now IMO some of those guys are coming off 2 devestating losses in a row and that gotta affect their ranking

Cro Cop was number 2. Now he's ranked number 8.

Wheres Penn??? 

[Bluto]

penn didnt make it 

[nuyork143]

penn didnt make it 

That was my point, he should be high up on 170 and 155.

[Bluto]

yes mmaweekly fucked up and they still havent corrected it on their site

[nuyork143]

Sounds like typical mma weekly bullshit

[20inch calves]

i would have hughes second. personally i hope he beats serra

[nuyork143]

Cant GSP was last to have the belt and he beat Hughes to get it.  Serra shouldnt even be on there so I guess youre right.  GSP 1 Matt 2.

[Geo]

penn didnt make it 

good point

[bigbalddaddy]

I agree except i'd put Randy at #1 since he's the only one who's fought!  Everyone else (except Rampage...duhhh) comes over from Pride and gets their ass handed to them so I think he's it.

I don't care if Diaz pissed dirty for weed after he kicked Gomi's ass,there's no way he should'nt be on that list if that list is comprised of a bunch of writers opinions

Geo youre right, I forgot to raise the bullshit flag about that one too.  Good!!!!

[Iraclese]

Randy 4th?  I don't think so.  If he fight the way he has, he is going to whip everyone.

Word!  So many people count Randy out.  That MOFO has the heart of a Lion!

5. Tim Sylvia

6. Gabriel Gonzaga

8. Mirko Cro Cop

9. Fabricio Werdum

10. Aleksander Emelianenko

1-4 i can agree...

Tim Sylvia on 5 its just a joke, dont want to make any comments

6 - Napao dont deserves top 10...he wasnt top 10 before cro cop, he got there because he beat him...well, he lost his other fight BAD and didnt fought anymore...so no more top 10 for him just because of 1 win....

7 arvlovski??? when was the last time he won something?

rest is good, but Alex Emelianenko deserves higher ranking

really dont care about the other rankings, but i think maybe Belfort deserved a top 10 spot on light heavy weights since he has a belt now and some good wins in a row, and Minotouro for instance dont win a fight in some time if i remember correctly

[Hedgehog]

Griffin is better than both Liddell and Jardine.

I'd have Griffin in 6th and Liddell in perhaps 9th and Jardine in 8th.

And Wanderlei is better than all three of them.

I would also have Matt Hughes behind both Kosheck and Diego.

Don't like either of those guys, but they are awesome fighters.

And Rich Franklin as high as 5th is a bit of a joke. Silva broke him IMO.

I doubt he will ever come back entirely. Which is sad, cause I kind of like the guy. But his confidence must be gone.


Also agree about Sylvia. He is no top 10 guy.

Yes Silva def broke Franklin, and not just mentally.

jardine beat griffin pretty decisively

[nuyork143]

jardine beat griffin pretty decisively

I hate Jardine, but what you say is true Geo!

[Bluto]
