diaz is going to beat gsp thats why i have him higher

 

woodley is a great fighter he has outstanding standup and uses it to set up his submissions hes a very smart and talented prospect

 

and agreed larkin is really underrated because not many people rlly know him

if you noticed on my list that gsp is ninth its b/c he has not fought most of the people ahead of him on my list. the first penn fight i think penn won clearly. i'm biased when it comes to koscheck.

@Kalibo that is a really good list. I agree with most of it. One question. Alves ahead of Condit?

i think story is still a top 10 ww.  he had one day to change a gameplan. that fight does little to story imo.  does great things for brennemen, but not a whole lot for story.  too bad it dont shot top 15 cuz the ww list goes deep.  no martin, no diego, no t woods...  this list will look alot different in a few months.

@Kalibo I like the pitbull a lot I just don't think he's worthy of top ten status right now. He needs to win.
