How could anyone put Ortiz in their top ten? He's had 1 win in almost 5 years. And only 2 significant wins in 6 years (Seriously, Shamrock is not a significant win) Why the heck doesn't Mousasi go back to MW? He was so much better at that weight. I really struggle to put Lawal on my list, because on the one hand he beat Mousasi, but he lost to Cavalcante. It's tough to call.

Lawal vs Gracie was canceled from the Fedor vs Henderson card and then rescheduled onto a September card.

Rashad is in a real bad spot with the Phil Davis fight if he wins he gains nothing and loses everything if he loses

I think (hope) the misunderstanding here is that ladylover213 ranks based on perceived potential, while most of us rank on recent accomplishments.  I don't agree with his or her rankings, but I guess nothing says we all have to use the same criteria right?
