the only ones i contemplated were picking guillard instead of barboza and possibly alves instead of diaz as an overall striker.....

BW: I guess I have to go with Cruz(thought I think Faber will outstrike him). Really another division lacking great strikers.
FW: Aldo
LW: Barboza
WW: Hardest to pick, really not any outstanding strikers...Alves, Sadollah, Kampmann
MW: Anderson SIlva
LHW: Machida
HW: Ubereem

This is based off technique, if I were to make a power list it would look much different.

I think people are overestimating diaz and forgetting about george. I would not be the least bit surprised if they fought and George dominated the stand up.

BW: Cruz

FW: Aldo

LW: Penn, if you still count him as a lightweight. Otherwise Gomi, Barboza and Florian

WW: Agreed this is hardest. Diaz, followed closely by Alves and Noons. Penn too if he's a WW

MW: Silva

LHW: I would have said Shogun, but right now I think you have to say Jones 

HW: Overeem easily, followed by Dos Santos
