I usually don't pay attention to Yahoo's P4P list (simply because normally it's not accurate by my standards) but mostly on USA Today's, but I think this time they ALMOST got it right. Personally I wouldn't put Bendo and Mighty Mouse on there, and replace them with Hendricks and Rousey (I bet Rousey beats Mighty Mouse in a fight, even the "great" Cruz haha :), or once active Nick and Hendo, so it is what it is. And I enjoy these P4P discussions so might as well post it here in the UG lol :)
Anyway that's what I think but what do you guys think of Yahoo's P4P list?
Mighty Mouse shouldnt be on there, imo
Melendez? No offense, but he isn't even top 3 in his own weight class, where he is supposedly big for the division; how does he make p4p?
Same with Frankie Edgar...
Unbelievable that Nick Diaz didn't at least get some votes.
This should be named top 10 p4p MMA athletes not fighters.

Seriously? Nick is a great fighter but he's coming off a loss, controversial or not, before then he beat an unranked BJ and Daley. If either of the brothers deserve to be on there it's Nate....
There isnt a fucking chance in hell Rousey beats any male in the UFC. Nevermind two champions.
GTFO with Ronda beating her male counter parts on the list.Shit is not happening.
I think Rousey beats mighty mouse.
Seriously...
why has Cruz been inactive for so long?

Injured, then injured again.
Pretty decent list, I'd have Cain over MM though.
