Tell you the truth, it'd be easier to persuade me to rank him lower than higher though. I have better fighters ranked under him, but I rank according to what they've done and not what I think they can do.
EDIT:: FYI, these are my personal rankings, I don't update my Tap rankings a lot (though, I think I should), I just have an excel sheet I use for UFC rankings and fight tracking ... it helps me with my picks (went up from 56% before Autumn comp. to around 78-80% picking UFC since I've been using it :) )

As for Felipe (and also Maximo, Choi, Pineda, Menjivar, Kevin Souza, Fili, Soriano), I think he's better than Akira, but Akira's 3-0 UFC record against not bad competition ranks him temporarily above him in my books (the draw with Milton Viera didn't help matters either) ... I try to stay as impartial as I can when ranking ...
Again, these are just my rankings, nothing concrete, I was just trying to show ol' ben how easy it would be to find 25 guys better than Akira ... I think that point was clearly maken and will be hard to dispute since you're giving me a lot of names that could be argued as better than him but I haven't heard any the should be ranked under him yet :)))

You convinded me yoss, all those guys deserve to be ranked higher than Akira right now. I would like to see how he stacks up against anyone in the siler-brimage range of yoru list. No way he beats poirier, but i think he could beat a lot of guys towards the bottom of your list.

Since joining the UFC, Dustin Poirier is 7-2. Those 2 losses coming from Swanson and Zombie. And he had a competitive fight with both of them. Corassani is 3-0 with his biggest win being over Blanco via DQ 20 seconds in to the fight. Not to mention the fact he should have lost to Ogle.
This is just an odd matchup. Makes no sense.
