TTT
Josh isn't #2, move Brock up to #3, take Cro Cop and Rogers off the list. I'd still keep Andrei at 10 though. Wins over Nelson and Rothwell can keep him there.
Where is Shane Carwin? Where is Ray Mercer? Where is Shaq?
List is a joke.
wow...cro cop at 6....that's kind of an insult to the division.
also if Aoki is number 1, that means his loss to Mach is almost counted as if it never happened cause it was at 170, but why then is Penn at #3? Also Kitaoka needs to be higher.
Also if Kos is #5, why isn't Paulo Thiago in the top 10? Makes no sense.
i find it funny, anyone who fights Fedor is automatically rand number 2
Jardine shouldnt be top 10
Arlovski should and will soon be replaced with Crawin
Figured BisBing would be top 10, as well as Pualo Filho
I thought id see Mousasi somewhere, idk what weight class
No Gray Maynard
and no Kid
Rankings are garbage anyways, everyone knows this.
MMAweekly has the WORST rankings out there.

ScottCL - Rankings are garbage anyways, everyone knows this.
They don't have to be garbage. It just takes a lot of time and thought put in to it. And unbiased opinion. Granted, I've never seen a ranking I agreed with 100%.
