MMA RANKINGS - CHAPTER 1...

In five years?

1. Machida
2. GSP
3. Silva
4. Hendo
5. Bisping <--J/K Couture

I would put Fedor, but Wolfy can tell you why I won't.

Koschek at #9 with Swick, Kampmann, & Hughes all ahead of him is a joke. Dude is the 4th (if not 3rd) best WW in the world. Not just saying that because of 103 either, he went the distance with GSP, went the distance with Alves on 2 weeks notice, got KO'd in a fight he was dominating, and he's handled everybody else thrown in front of him. I also think with him getting back to his wrestling base and a full camp to train for Alves, he would win a rematch.

I will keep the voting open for a week.

Once again rank 1-10 in HW, LHW, MW, WW, LW, FW, & BW.

NO COMMENTING OR CRITIQUING JUST RANKINGS!

Fighters can be at multiple weight classes, but don't be a dumb ass and put GSP at MW seeing as he's never fought at 185.
