@jersey, I love Gustafsson, but you think he's top 10 already?

Well, guess if the list is based on who would beat who, then I should go and change my middleweight rankings. I think "Jacare" Souza has the style to beat Anderson Silva, so that should bump him up to the number one spot, right?

Gustafson has crazy potential, but i think he needs one more to be considered top 10. Perhaps he should fight Thiago Silva in Silva's return..... I'd like to see him crush Bader as well but that fight doesn't make any sense right now.

Id like Silva vs Gustaffson!. Gustaffson was geting tagged by Hammill in the first!. Thiago would knock him out in the first.

There is a case for Gustaffson being in the top 10. But for me Tito beat Bader which helped him get into the #10 (and bump off Bader). One more big win for Gustaffson and I could make a case to squeeze him into the top 10.

I have Gustafsson, but I don't rank based SOLELY on wins and skill, I pick my favorites too!

Ah my P4P list is based on wins and quality of wins, as well as being a contender and being a champ. So yes at one point I had Matt Serra as a #1 P4P Welterweight ¬_¬ I don't want such things to happen ever again lol.

@mysticalninja, that is hilarious! I had to watch Lytle brutalize Serra in Indy and I knew he wouldn't be doing to well after that haha

@Thiago, it was close, but in the 3rd round Serra just about gave up
