I think it's a pretty good list. What are your guys' current Top 10 HW rankings?

Here are mine... I think 8-10 are really close.  You could interchange Nog/Silva/Nelson/Browne/Hunt/Barnett imo.

Not bad.  I think they've got BigFoot a little high, and I think Browne should still be over Struve for now.

It's actually very similar to mine too. Though I still have Overeem (shouldn't since he was suspended). I got Bigfoot at 11, Hunt at 12 and Browne at 13. The rest is quite a mess or haven't been touched in some time.

I wanted to rank Daniel Cormier higher but I just can't because he hasnt fought any really good people besides Josh Barnett, cant wait for him to come over to the UFC though because he's a good example that you don't need to look like Alistair "Roids" Overeem to be a good fighter, I got a feeling he'll be number 2 or 3 by the end of 2013
