After doing that, I can say that WW & LW are stacked divisions and the most difficult to rank. . . w/ HW being the easiest IMO

Diaz even being ranked on the Welterweight rankings is funny.

Diaz even being ranked on the Welterweight rankings is funny. I just modified w/ an explanation. Who would you put on there? Like I said, welter & light were the toughest. You know, I change my mind. Diego had a past history at WW, Nate hasn't |

Your WW list needs more Thiago Alves.

i think jones and couture coming off wins... especially jones... would be ranked ahead of thiago silva coming off a loss. martin kampmann in the ww rankings too... he was supposed to fight fitch for #1 contender, before fitch pulled out and daley tko'd him. but kampmann won his last fight, i think he should be top 10. granted... not my lists.

At the top, it says "IMO", which stands for "In My Opinion".
Most of these rankings are very faulty anyway.

He's clearly listed there as his #2 Middleweight.

Hetfield, As Wfigs resident whinny little b****, why don't you do something constructive and give your opinion on what is so out of whack about the rankings instead of keeping true to form and just bashing w/o reason. |

I put him ahead of Kongo b/c Kong's last win was against Buentello, who came of a loss to Struve, whom Nelson beat. Kongo stays at 8 because he's beaten Cro Cop. The lowest I could justifiably put Nelson (in my mind anyway) is 8, and to do that I'd have to move Gonzaga to 7 and I'd be hesitant to do that coming off 2 losses in 3 fights. |

Well, how many UFC fights as Roy had? |

Well, how many UFC fights as Roy had?I think that was your question, right? He's had 2, but then again, a guy like Gomi can come in and immediately have a bout versus a top 3 guy like Florian, if he wins that fight he's obviously in the top 10, no? I guess you cans ay that these are my top 10 rankings overall for guys currently in the UFC and nowhere else. |

I guess you cans ay that these are my top 10 rankings overall for guys currently in the UFC and nowhere else. I am just a believer in hard work and working your way up TBH... I will be honest, I am not a fan of Roy, however if he earned the right to be in the top 10 I would be okay with it. I think had Roy not have had to go through with TUF he could have had a few more ranked fights and your ranking would be indusputable. I think Roy was above TUF just so we're clear BTW. I do not think any fighter should be able to come in and fight a top 3 guy, 7-10 is fine. |

Hetfield, As Wfigs resident whinny little b****, why don't you do something constructive and give your opinion on what is so out of whack about the rankings instead of keeping true to form and just bashing w/o reason. Well... 1. Why is Matyushenko in the top 10? Where's Brandon Vera? I know he's lost twice, but those are to guys in your top 10 list. Matyushenko just won a split decision against someone who just got released from UFC. 2. Dan Miller, despite two DECISION losses to top 10 guys on your list, is nowhere to be found, but Alessio Sakara, who hasn't beaten anyone good (yet), is on that list. 3. Why is Matt Hughes on your list of top welterweights? He fights like once or twice a year and hasn't won a meaningful fight in forever. 4. Where's Martin Kampmann on the top welterweights list? He was suppose to fight Mike Swick for #1 contenders spot and he fights often. 5. Almeida being on the top welterweights is funny. I agree that he's a great fighter, but he hasn't had enough fights at 170 to consider him top yet. 6. I would PROBABLY agree with your lightweight rankings if Sherk wasn't on it. The guy hasn't fought in over a year, and doesn't have any fight for the near future. His last fight last year was a loss to someone he maybe should have beaten, but didn't. |
