Hammill, Lutter, Okami, Loiseau, Quarry, Tanner, and Shamrock are all pretty damn good. So....********.

Beside saying Shamrock beating Sonnen was ridiculous, I made no other allegations. Don't give me sass, girl.

@Nik You alleged that Franklin had beaten one tough guy. I countered by pointing out that Sonnen (who appears to be your favorite fighter) has less legitimate wins on his record than Franklin. I shall sass 'til the cows come home.

Sonnen has only been a perpetual fighter in the UFC for since 2009. Give him time. He has already beaten Marquardt, Okami, and Stann in those years. Also, he faired much better against Silva than Franklin did.

@Nik Franklin didn't have the advantages of bruised ribs, old age, and especially TRT.

Excuses, excuses.

Old age? The only thing Silva has done since he beat up Franklin twice, was get better with age.

@Nik Hmm, should have remembered not to argue anything with a Sonnen fan; The masters of making excuses, but not accepting them.

Great argument, Zarog. I surprisingly dnt have a retort to comparing anderson silva to wine.

And should I be entirely surprised that you, Zarog, have Rich Franklin in your top fighters list as well. You guys are a farce.

@Nik Of course I do. He's one of the most dynamic fighters in MW history. His knockout power was absolutely ridiculous and he's an all-around cool dude. What's not to like? Just because Anderson Silva is best MW to ever live, doesn't take away from Franklin's awesomeness.

@Nik Also, to the perpetual fighter in the UFC thing. Doesn't matter, Chael started his professional career before Franklin did. It just took him longer to get to the big leagues. There's a reason for that.

First off, Hybrid, Franklin is 3 years older than Sonnen

Sonnen didnt start fighting fulltime until 2002. While Franklin started fulltime in 1999. Stop trying to contort the facts.

Just like to point out the fact that the resident Chael Sonnen wannabe didn't have a retort to my comment means I should have at least 15 up votes.

I'm not trying to say liking Rich is bad, but, the fact your scrutinizing me for being a Chael fan and defending chael while youre a Franklin fan and defending franklin really doesnt make your argument hold anymore validity than mine does.

No, it means you should delete your avatar you made in microsoft paint, turn your computer off, and through it out your window.

@Nik Wasn't aware I was a contortionist. This should spice up my sex life. 

Rich went full time once he had his first professional fight. It was because he was good enough to go full time. Apparently Chael can't say the same thing about his professional career.
