Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 625 Points | Tied for 183rd
Oh lawd...
If ever there was an event tailor-made for the hardcore fan, this is it. Use it to convert friends, family and everything in between into MMA fanatics.
Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 6pm ET. Then, switch over to FOX Sports 2 (not FS1) for four more televised prelims at 8pm. Some random other sport BS is on FS1.
And then it'sssssssss TIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!

Most MMA fans think frankie won one, if not two of those fights. Also he is 1-1 in his weight class and currently is not ranked top 5 at lw and wouldnt be if he moved back up in weight
Losing close decisions is not comparable to losing decisively.
WW division is just too stacked to justify a guy who is 1-3 in the division to be ranked top 5. Maybe if it was a division without depth definitely, but the WW division is LOADED with talent, and loaded with guys who deserve a top 5 spot over him.

When someone sustains a rare injury and is unable to keep fighting, i don´t see that as being unable to keep fighting because his opponent got the better of him. It´s not as if Condit´s injury was a result of Woodley being awesome. That fight was a re-do for me, or else a non factor for ranking the men involved.

Thats a bullcrap nuthugger statement.
You act as if Woodley didnt clearly establish he was better than condit in every area the entire time they fought. So you just ignore Condit getting his ass beat cause he got hurt and say redo it? Sure thing buddy.
Hey while we are at it, I think we need to see a patrick cote vs anderson silva rematch since that fight is completely null and void. Those rounds dont count, just ignore, ANDERSON PROVED NOTHING. We need a redo.
Hell lets keep it rolling, using this logic, we need a diego sanchez bj penn rematch since that fight was stopped due to an injury(cut). Because of this, there needs to be a redo and we need to ignore what happened in that fight. BJ Penn proved NOTHING.

Mark Coleman beat Shogun by TKO but it never made me think he was better at the time. And it was imo a legit win since Shogun's broken arm was a direct result of the takedown. Some fights end before or in a way where they don't affect rankings like a different finish. A non-injury example would be GSP & Serra. I never even thought about putting Serra above GSP in the rankings even as champ, and even though Serra won legit. Same as Shogun & Coleman in the injury example. They're legit wins, injury or not, since the injury occurred during contact, but the outcome just leaves a feeling of unfinished business in some fights and many may choose not to reflect it in their rankings as much as if the outcome was different. After all, each person's rankings are their own opinion so they're not 100% fact based, otherwise we all would've had Serra above GSP while he was champ, and Coleman would've been top 5 p4p during Shogun's prime for a while. Rankings are subjective, if someone feels a sense of unfinished business between Woodley and Condit and it reflects in their rankings, it's their prerogative. No need to go on a mission to change people's opinions. . That's not a battle that can be won. Your opinion should be all that matters to you anyways, no need to have a fixation on those who don't think exactly the way you do.

If anyone is a nuthugger here it seems like you are ajj. A lot of your arguement is far to black and white and very exaggerated.
There are far to many holes I can poke in your arguments, but I honestly have no desire to waste my breath on someone so pig headed. However I will just throw up one example of how ridiculous your arguments are. Stop stating Condit did not beat a top 10er. Kampman was ranked in the top 10 when Condit beat him and is in fact only not ranked in the top 10 because he taking time off, so the UFC removed him from the rankings. So do your homework you loud mouth ignorant blow hole
PS:I can not wait until time proves you very very wrong.
