No Carwin in the HWs and no Rumble in the WWs? Pretty close to what I would have tho, good lists

Carwin hasn't faced much competition yet for me to put him Top 10 ahead of legit guys like Arlovski and Werdum.

Rumble can eat a dick until he gets his weight in order.

that probably wont help him make weight

[Primetime]

I'd put Cain Velasquez just a little bit higher at my 6 or 7, but solid lists.

[Liquidrob]

1. Aoki
2. BJ Penn
3. Eddie Alvarez
4. Tatsuya Kawajiri
5. Gilbert Melendez

[EmpireWF]

Shields above Fitch?

[CrimsonGhost56]

Shields above Fitch?

i think their basically interchangeable. people might have shields above fitch cause fitch has put on a few snoozers in a row.

2. Big Nog
3. Lesnar
4. Mir
5. Velasquez

Shields is coming off a snoozefest too.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Paulo Thiago ahead of Paul Daley and Whitemare? Me no likey. No Robbie Lawler?

[Liquidrob]

Overeem is beastly, but he is not a top 10 HW in rankings, potenial yes, rankings no

[Liquidrob]

After Vitor KO's And1, he will be the Ultimate Fighting Middle Weight Champion Of the World

'We did it mama!'

[Steel Mamba]

After looking at those rankings I can't help but think how much the HW division has come up in talent whereas the LHW division has slid a bit. With that said I still think Evans is a bit high, not sure how he gets placed above Rampage, he's not near the resume or overall ability of Page. Other than that solid list, I would place Carwin over AA though, a brutal KO over Gabe earns him that spot. Plus, a year from now who's more likely to be on that list?

Oh wow just peeped something else, how is Ken Flo at 5 and Sherk 10?

[Liquidrob]

After Gonzaga takes out JDS he will be right back in the mix
