UPDATED!!!

[Cory]

Maybe add a p4p list to this. Suggestin.....

[MitchMMA]

Good idea, I'll try to add a P4P list soon.

[MitchMMA]

UPDATED!!!

Added a P4P list... agree, disagree?

[Cory]

Agree with everything just 9 & 10.

Both have come off losses, and unlike Faber, wouldn't always be on these lists.

I'd replace Page with Thiago Alves, I mean 3 straight wins over Karo Parisen, Matt Hughes, and Josh Koshchek is worth something.

[MitchMMA]

Truth Cory, I almost forgot about Alves for a second lol. I'll go edit him in.

[Raging Hawaiian]

I would move Minatoro over Faber due to the fact that he's fought longer, on a larger stage, against opponents of a different class than is seen in the WEC.

I like this forum.

[MitchMMA]

Good point man, I'll edit the list in a few.


But I'm lazy right now haha.

[Raging Hawaiian]

Lets not forget Dana Whites efforts to turn MMA into Pro Boxing by the hiring and subsequent HYPE of that one dude...what's his name?

Oh yeah, Brock Lesnar...

World Heavyweight Champ...

I hate Dana White for sending a guy with a 1-1 record to a title shot just because of the revenue generated by having that fucking dinosaur in the ring.

Shouldn't he be in the p4p rankings somewhere too?

[MitchMMA]

lol yeah man a lot of people were angry about that... but he won, so you gotta give the guy at least some props lol.

Brock is hyped to hell though... hey but at least it's not Kimbo.

UPDATED!


Added Mir and Rashad to P4P also... everyone agree with that?

[Zombie Gunn]

As somebody that doesn't watch mma that often, I like this thread. Let's me know who to watch for when I do watch.

[Duckman]

I think after his last two performances Mir is a given.  In fact so is Rashad.

I concur young Mitchford!

Peace
