[ufoalf]

Well a lot of that stuff is arguable but the biggest thing that really jumped out at me was Dan Handerson at #9.... wtf?

[J_Roth]

Hendo at 9 and Bj at 7 wtf. Interesting lists

[Ubersteve]

I love the guy to death but Shogun shouldn't be that high based on his last outing, that was awful.

[Ubersteve]

Also why is Gomi ranked so far ahead of JZ and Penn?

Actually, looking at it, most of this is bullshit.

I think with Arlovski having 3 wins over solid opponets recently and Sylvia losing 2 of 3 id swap them two guys. Fitch over Hughes is bullshit. How did Henderson go below #4 ?

[jimmie]

Also why is Gomi ranked so far ahead of JZ and Penn?

What ever happened to Sakurai ?

[ufoalf]

I didn't even go past Dan Handerson. BJ at #7? This is bs rankings. I think who ever was doing this list got more and more fed up with it as he went down the weight classes...

Yeah the Heavyweight rankings start off solid and they get alittle worse and worse every weight class now.

[Beebs]

What ever happened to Sakurai ?

Hes too big to make even 160.

[Beebs]

So Kang, who just got knocked the fuck out by somebody not even on the list, and lost to Misaki 3 fights ago, is 5 places ahead of Dan Henderson?

[dwilson]

WFT Rankings.

[yogster740]

no Ken Shamrock?

[Beebs]

no Ken Shamrock?

Awesome

[BewareofDawg]

Why is Barnett so high? Serious question, I don't know too much about the guy. What has he done lately to be ranked above, say, Arlovski or Sylvia?

[yogster740]

Frank Trigg in the top 10?.....but no Frank Shamrock

[jimmie]

Frank Trigg in the top 10?.....but no Frank Shamrock

Trigg recently beat Mayhem Miller,Misaki,Edwin DeWees and lost a close fight to Robbie Lawler. All Franks did is loses 2 out of 3 and I dont consider Phil Baroni a top 10 win.

Shamrocks last two losses were cause of a DQ and an injury, prior to that his last loss was in 97.

Trigg lost everytime he stepped up in class.

You can't honestly tell me that Trigg should be rated higher.

Triggs out there winning fights.

[BewareofDawg]

Triggs out there winning fights.
H2H who do you have?

H2H who do you have?

Shamrock by submission.
