I have no idea who to pick in that fight either @Legz... I'm leaning towards Yasunaga.

I still think Ian McCall won the first fight against Mighty Mouse. I also happen to think he's the best flyweight out there.


Edit: Just realized I haven't updated my flyweight rankings since last week, when I do John Dodson will be moving to 4th behind Benavidez.

here is mine, can't say my list is accurate but at least my top 5 should be correct...

I need to update the old rankings, but I see Dodson as probably the best. I think he has what mighty mouse has, super saiyan level speed and octagon control ability, coupled with power comparable to that of joe B, which is rare at 125 pounds. He's the complete package.

Remember that scene from the 1978 movie The Betsy when Leslie Ann-Down said to Tommie Lee Jones: "You don't just want to drive the car.  You want the whole ****'in empire"?  (And in the end, he got it).

Well Greg Jackson wants the whole ****'in empire too - as in every belt he can get his hands on.  Can't see Dodson letting him down.

I'll be putting Allamurad Karayev on the list at number 4 as soon as Greg lights up his name in the system. Rambaa Somdet will then be off the list.

Enough people are figuring it out and making the claim such that there's no need to beat around the bush.

JM Barrie is RedKayak, even if she continues to deny it after this post. It is fact, and it's been known since JM Barrie first joined.  At least one other moderator can attest because we discussed how to handle it and if we cared.

And the answer of how to handle it was:  Let her come and use the site again.  As long as no problems are being caused, there's no need to make a big deal of it.  We'll keep an eye on it and hope to see everyone fit in decently enough.

Yes, JM is Red.. Now that it is out, I can confirm.  I as well hope everyone can fit in nicely.

Back to my rankings... I think they look pretty good.. anyone see in glaring mistakes/omissions in their opinion?  I think this is the hardest one to rank outside the top4.

some of these clowns need to chill out and quit acting like a pack of starving hyenas.  Its a website that is based on opinion and people need to find a way to accept others opinions even when they are different than their own.  this is really getting old after about 4 days of the same 5 people bickering with one person.  Get over yourselves!!!

Just kidding, I agree some people just cant seem to accept other opinions. Im all for debate but calling someone a **** or something just because they disagree with you is silly

Edit: I really need to update my rankings

Just interesting to see that not very many people believe that Dodson is the number 2. I see the argument for it, but interesting to say the least.

Greg, I do not know of this redkayak person. There are many many other mma websites out there. why would someone go back to a place that didnt suit them. I dont know if its a female- male difference of thinking but i dont understand the way you guys thing sometimes. its like you'd call an apple tree a pinecone tree and have it be so just because you said so. I don't think its right.\

Anyways, I like the rankings I have done in this thread and other threads. Maybe it will take time for some of the names on my list to be in the limelight but i dont think that changes the talent that they have. fighters are great whether or not the ufc says so

McCall and Benavidez have fought tougher opponents but right now Dodson is on a roll. He's got all the tools. If Johnson doesn't take him down and turn their fight into a ground gam I think Dodson will Win via TKO.

@redkayak Um...as the owner of the site Greg can see a lot of information about you, including your IP address. This cannot change unless you get a new internet service provider, even new computers will still have the same IP address if they're using the same network.

So you can deny as much as you want, you're lying. It's like being locked in an empty room with another person, punching that person and then saying it's impossible for you to have punched that person and then accuse said person of being wrong.
