Having Werdum over Cormier is blatantly ********.

So is having Nogueira over Carwin, so both rankings have idiocies.

There are things that I can nitpick from all of them, but over all I'd say....

1. Sherdog - I'd have Cormier up higher, but they have the right people in the top 5.  I don't think Nog and Carwin should really be top 10 right now, but having them in there isn't all that unreasonable.

2. Tapology -  Mir at 3 is just ridiculous, and I have the same disagreements as far as Cormier, Nog and Carwin go, but over all, not bad.

3. MMA Fighting - I like that they have Cormier at 3, but having Struve in there with Travis Browne and Roy Nelson no where to be found just doesn't make sense.

MMAFighting's is fine, they just need Big Country at 10 instead of Struve.

Sherdog: I don´t agree with sherdog puting Overeem in 3 if he were active then ok, but he will be inactive for a year, right now he has no reason to be in spot number 3 I´m not sure he should even be in top 10.

MMA Fighting: I think Cormier deserves better than 5. I like Struve in spot 10, I´m a big fan of Nelson but he has a 4-3 UFC record while Struve has a 8-3. If Nelson lost more of his belly I´m sure he could make top 7

Tapology: Mir in spot # 3, really come on ppl you know better than that

If I had to pick one of those three, I'd lean more toward Sherdog's rankings as much as I hate em.

1. Junior Dos Santos
2. Cain Velasquez
3. Daniel Cormier
4. Alistair Overeem
5. Fabricio Werdum
6. Shane Carwin
7. Josh Barnett
8. Frank Mir
9. Roy Nelson
10. Antonio Silva

Still prefer my rankings, just my opinion though.  Overeem will probably drop down in time.

My argument having Struve over Nelson- Nelson beat Struve 2 years ago but Nelson is on a 1 fight winning streak against a guy Struve already has beat, and is on a 3 fight winning streak

I'd put Browne ahead of them both.

sweet, he hasn't actually beat anyone to make him worthy of a top 10 spot.

I also took out Carwin and gave Mark Hunt a spot 'cause he beat Kongo, the gatekeeper for the top 10.
