your obviously not very smart when it comes to mma

machida who has lost 2 of his last 3 and beat an old man?

and ur talking about hendo hmmm well hes declining majorly

forrest isnt anything special he jus puts on a show

and ur doubting mow lawal? one of the best wrestlers in mma and has ko power

you realize you have gegard ranked above lawal and that was lawals only good win in his career right? I still cant get over you having larkin ranked higher than machida. almost half your list doesnt even fight the best fighters in the world, this is funny.

gotta agree with @heroak how could anyone have Larkin in the top 10 and expected to be taken seriously. there is no way larkin should even be a LHW, nevermind a top 10. I'll be shocked if he's not a MM in his next apparence or at least the one after that

Your highly overrating Phil Davis and Thiago Silva. Davis has just bad striking and average at best wrestling, Rampage, Machida, and Jones would stuff him with ease.

Feijao does not belong in the top 10 and I like Larkin but he doesn't yet either...

ok, i wasnt going to say this before, but since you moved m'pumbu into your top ten. you might be giving a little too much credit to fighters based on their skin color. its ok, theres a guy on the site that really likes brazilians. i tend to rank guys based on how they truly rank in their weight class but seriously, to have lawal, larkin and m'pumbu in your top ten is a little biased.

If Gian Villante can take you down and hold you there the whole round that does not bode well in future fights against Rashad, Lawal, Jones, or even Phil Davis.

hahaha
that doesnt mean anything? really? you ever hear of someone looking really good in a fight because they fought weaker competition? by your list phil davis should be handed a title shot right now right? do you seriously believe that davis would be shogun or machida? you are seriously delusional.

@ladylover it was originally for the Hendo/Fedor card but was rescheduled after Gracie's injury and still on, at the moment, for September 10
