I have Pettis at 11...on my list I could re-arrange 7-12 in any order and it'd still look good to me

if pettis beats lauzon and bendo beats edgar i think there should be a pettis vs bendo 2

it was a great fight the first time around

any1 else agree?

ladylover213...  I think Pettis would still need one more win after Lauzon before a title shot.

Does wins over Jeremy Stephens and Joe Lauzon earn you a title shot? I'd love to see Bendo/Pettis 2, but think Pettis would need at least one more win against a top 5 opponent to get that title shot against Bendo (If he beats Edgar)

Had a hard time shuffling between Henderson, Alvarez, and Aoki in there.

I think Aoki is underrated, and should definitely be in the top ten.

He's on a 6 fight winning streak right now.  Granted, not all of those wins were against the highest level of competition, but fighters like Razor Rob, Clementi, Beerbohm, Auerelio, Kawajiri, Hirota, Hansen, Shaolin, Alvarez, Uno, and JZ are not cans.  Those are all solid, name fighters.  Several of them were in the top ten, or top 15 at the time Aoki beat them. 

He only has 3 losses in more than 6 years.  He went 2 out of 3 against Hansen, submitting him twice.  He got stopped at welterweight by a legend in Sakurai, who seems to have his number.  The only other loss was a 5 round decision to Melendez. 

I think his record holds up against most of the fighters people are listing in the top ten.

Agree, Alias.

Aoki is top 5, IMO.

You can't rank Alvarez without ranking Aoki, Aoki schooled him.
