Is this whole forum trollin?! Not one of you has Ricardo Arona even on your top 10?! That is a sin.
The dude never had a point scored against him in ADCC and basically invented Top control dominance aka Lay N Pray. His only losses in MMA are to Fedor, Rampage, prime Wandy and Shogun, and Sokoudjou.
Royce and Ken basically make my list for their help in developing MMA.

@Cash.. I probably did that too with some of my rankings.. I don't have Arono on my top 10 because I honestly thought he was a very good grappler, but very over-rated.
I just looked at him to see if stats backed up my thoughts and found he only had 1 sub win in his first four years of MMA competition, hasn't had a TRUE sub in in over 6.5 years and couldn't sub Eastman in there last fight.
@Beast... lol.. good luck to you and get training!
