see these are your rankings, in my mind I know what I would have done differently but I again am not going to sit here and discredit your rankings, but I do have "issues" with some of the spots of certain fighters and whatnot

Free free to discredit, I dont hold these rankings close to my heart. I would like to hear your opinions. I really wont defend my rankings, they were the best I could with the info I know about the fighters and my opinions of how they stack up vs. world competition.

Not bad Dig.

Fedor has beaten Nog soundly twice, so Fedor is a little low. I think Mir dropped into a tie with Nog IMO, only because Nog's performance at 102 was just a wow performance and Mir was beaten to a pulp. Cain and Carwin are still even in my eyes. I haven't seen enough from either to really have one above the other.

You give Randy too much credit at 205, until he gains another win at that weight class I cannot put him above the guys you have above him. Not saying he won't notch some wins there if he fought a lot at that weight class but he hasn't fought there in years and his last fight there he was destroyed.

I wouldn't have Filho on there at all, his substance abuse issues have rendered him irrelevant until his head is clear.

If you were going to put Penn at WW, I'd have him higher. I think you also have Hughes a little too high due to his recent-ish performances but that's a hard class to sort out.

Gray is very good don't get me wrong but I'm not sure about #2. Aoki is a little low IMO too.

Not bad work though.

woah these are seriously messed up, you guys only dis my rankings by saying craap like he hasn't proved himself or he hasn't fought for ages, well guess what here's a fact anderson destroyed forrest by so much that they shouldn't even be within 5 spaces of each other, and why is noguira above fedor? he lost to him.... also if maynard is 2 huerta is 3, they had a split decision so theyve got to be within at least 2 spaces of each other you don't even have them within 8! dude i'm gonna go so far to say these rankings ~~suk ballz~~

Take it down a notch. -Justin

Great comments.

I am a Faydoor haytor, so Fedor is lucky to even by on my list.

I was torn about Anthony Johnson. I had him floating down at the bottom of the list, but in my final cut, he didn't make it.

I somewhat agree about the comments about Randy, but I just tried to rationalize who I thought he could take and who he would have trouble with.

I left Huerta off the list because last I heard, he left the sport? Is my info out dated? He would make my list if he was going to keep fighting, but probably not as high as you would like.

Just to clarify also, I didn't dis your rankings, my title was just a joke. In truth I wanted people to come and tear my list up and tell me why X was better than Y in their opinion. My mission is accomplished* :)

* = I use the presidential definition of mission accomplished, where the mission is unclear and accomplished is just a big word.

I have few problems, most of which have already been addressed by others.

Matt Hughes is a sticky situation, Matt Hughes 3 years ago easily fits in the top five, Matt Hughes today is a giant question mark, compounded by his relative inactivity. Do I think he could beat the people ranked below him? Probably. But we will never find out because he seems to not be interested in fighting anyone of any value. I think he just wants to fight "Superman" and try to avenge those two losses and call it a career.

I agree 100% Justin and the same questioned rattled around my head when I added him. I decided it was too early to write him off though. He is at the point where he is steadily moving down my ranks though. He gets his spot not mostly because he is legendary, so Ill hold a spot for him a bit longer than I would someone like Huerta.

MK4,
Umm... Aoki has defeated Alvarez, and no disrespect to Bendo and Cerrone, but they are not on the same level as some of the LWs in the UFC that you left off the list. Those guys are in WEC not UFC for a reason, and it's not because the pay's better.

Not bad dude. Id change overeem. and put Aoki in but besides that id say well done. Mousasi is kinda high but will be there soon anyways.

Justin,

I think that Cerrone could take out some UFC fighters if he had the opportunity. Ben Henderson also. I know that the WEC isn't UFC level but there are some guys that can hang and problably beat some UFC fighters IMO.

@Marvel,

You think Diego should be 2? Is it because he's fighting Penn next? Idk about that one. {Other than that, looks good.)

Lex415, SF IN THE BUILDING!!!!

yeah i put Sanchez #2 because he's fighting for the title but if he were not fighting for the title than for sure i would put Gray Maynard as #2 i think he's earned that.

Very respectable Dig. I'd personally have Fedor, Aoki, and Diego higher, but that's just me, but being an admitted Fedor hater eases my MMA mind a bit :)

petterson, dude, chill. Don't take it personal that your rankings were 100% disagreed upon by the entire Frenzy.
