I'm not complaining just because I'm a Nick Diaz fan, but he should be above Fitch at the very least.

8th is pretty low, I have him it at 4th right now behind Georges, Hendricks and Condit.

diaz shouldn't be ranked above any high level wrestlers until he beats a high level wrestler. he beat up a lot of dudes in strikeforce but not any wrestlers. fitch will own nick, so would koscheck...ie benson vs nate

I don't agree with tthe logic that he should be ranked below someone simply because they're a high level wrestler. Jon Fitch lost by KO to Johnny Hendricks, so if we're using your logic Nick Diaz should be ranked above Fitch because he's a striker.

This should've been made in the welterweight ranking forum so we can have our rankings visible.

Diaz isn't a power striker like Hendricks. His best chance to beat Fitch would be a sub from his guard. Just my opinion. I actually have Nick above Fitch though.

Here's mine, my real beef is Rory Mac being ranked 4th when he hasn't beaten anyone in the top 10.

@Superlative - You're posts are very biased. Diaz would lose to Fitch.

@Huiop532 my posts aren't biased I'm just trying to figure out why Diaz is ranked 8th on here behind Kamp, and Fitch. I respect everyone's opinion whether I agree with it or not. Some say they rankings are based off of styles, and match up history, which I can understand to some to degree. I'm not trying to be biased, I'm just having healthy MMA discussion bro.

I dont really care for Johnny Hendricks, that guy just rubs me the wrong way but I just cant deny that guy has natural power.

I cant believe Askren is in my top 10, but I cant justify moving anyone else above him YET.

I have Nick Diaz at 4 in my rankings.

Kalibo, I cant put Marquardt in until he has one more fight at WW. then he will surely move right on buy Serta Ben Askren. Plus after Ammoussou beats that ass he will fall out anyway.

Idk boss... who has Ben really beat?  I thought he lost that fight to Jay H... very close though.  I think Nate's one title fight at WW was more impressive than all of Ben's..lol.  But I hear ya...

Speaking of which, Askren/Woodley would be a fun fight.

I'd probably rank Nick above Kampmann but not higher than Fitch. I do mostly rank people based on who they have beaten but I also factor in who I believe would beat whom.
