Jardine is ranked above Machida, take that earvinp!

List is interesting, always like seeing stuff like this, although I hardly ever agree them fully

Also, Serra > Hughes ?

And Rashad above Tito ?

Just a couple I noticed at first glance

Toshinden · 01-08-2008, 05:22 PM

Those writers must be kicking themselves for forgetting Ken Shamrock...

I'd be embarrassed too if I forgot such a name. Oh well, I'm sure they'll remember for next time, right...? ...right?

P.S. Anyone know anything about Gesias Calvancanti? I've never heard of him before.

Saskabush · 01-08-2008, 05:23 PM

Poor rankings once again!

First, how in the hell does Randy deserve to be #5??
Serra shouldn't be in there at all, Shogun is at #32, and Penn is probably lower than he should be. This is just what I noticed taking a quick glance at the top 20 or so, what the hell are these people thinking when they come up with rankings like this? It really bothers me if you didn't notice.

NWCrazy · 01-08-2008, 05:36 PM

So Shogun loses one fight in which he looked out of shape...and he drops to 32. These rankings suck.

The man's a beast, he's won the last two Hero's LW tournaments and his only loss is to Hansen:

Am I the only one who thinks Saskabush secretly likes Serra

gilliam · 01-09-2008, 12:03 PM

yea those suck

takenover · 01-09-2008, 12:21 PM

Some of the stats are hard to believe. 1 in my mind is how
Robbie Lawler is better pound for pound then Roger Huerta.
He isnt even in the same universe.Robbie like some many others swing for the fences, and rely mostly on connecting
then the full spectrum. And how the hell is Tim even in the
same 100 as Karo.

Tim Sylvia? I know not many people are huge fans of his, but look at his record bro.

takenover · 01-09-2008, 12:48 PM

He's a huge guy with pretty limited opponets.You should listen to bas in your titled qoute ( Steriods is for losers,
but Tim never got that line bro.)

24-3 man. Hard to argue with that. Beat Arlovski twice, as well as a favored Brandon Vera. I'm not saying I'm a fan of his, but he held the belt, and his record is 24-3.

Pitbull · 01-09-2008, 12:59 PM

Interesting list.

How the heck does Tito end up on ANY list these days????

takenover · 01-09-2008, 01:01 PM

If I was 6 8"--260, and someone showed me some moves, I would kick lot of ass also.But the underline issue is attitude, and professionalism also plays apart in a fighters resume for me.Taking steriods to lose your gut is not a good decision.And he should have lost his right to any list.

Bas also sais so.

Actually no. Your Serra nuthuggery blinds you to the fact that he is 9-4 and has lost to every top opponent he has faced other than GSP. He won the fight fair and square but how does one win over a quality opponent get you p4p status? He had one fight in 2007 and one fight in 2006, you tell me how he deserves to be on a top p4p list.

That must be it

LABJJ · 01-09-2008, 04:39 PM

I wonder how they came up with this list. A lot of the names and placements do not make any sense. I hope this is not an indication how they will run their events and choosing opponents and matchups.

Instead of your witty one liner why don't you explain to me how he deserves to be there?
