Well then LA, your P4P list must be correct since only you apparently can have the correct one.

Anyone that tries to stray away from the norm is obviously wrong. Thank you sir for clarifying that for me.

My p4p lists are different for the fact that I rank ppl based on how tough they would be to beat PRESENTLY.

Discussion board bro, always remember that, I said this is what I wanted to do

You can't ignore what a guy has done in two divisions

Aoki, Florian, Alverez, Edgar, Griffin, Melendez, Hansen for starters

Well, we are all entitled to our opinions so I will give mine.

Based offa your list, I would give you a MAYBE in a close fight with Aoki...a MAYBE with Edgar and a MAYBE with Griffin.

None of those guys are locks against Sanchez. I dont see Florian beating Sanchez though, thats also talkin to Oggy's post.

Im not disputing that this is a discussion board bro, but you cant shoot down my ideas and expect me not to debate right back.

Diego would beat Melendez, he'd still be a top 10 WW if he was fighting there. Kenny would be a close fight, might see it after Gomi who knows.

I think a couple UFC LWs could potentially beat Aoki

Gray's standup isn't as good as Diego's as a whole, and the wrestling would be a wash, I think Diego would beat him in a decision, I think Frankie would beat Gray in a rematch, and I think Kenny could beat him personally.

Not locks for anyone in this sport, But I see Sanchez going forward into something bad against most of these guys.

That's fine, but it's not simply this guy could beat this guy so he's ahead of him.

Well, even with my way of doing P4p lists, its still not too far offa what most everyone else put up.

It's fine, it's ur list

I still think people go a little overboard with Mousasi

I question Vitor in the top 20 too, he's still on the comeback with his best win against Rich

I'd like to see some more lists, so lets chill a bit

granted Mousasi might be a little high on my list, he's still a little unproven but i like his chances to be a p4p guy for years to come. Right now he probably deserves to be around 12-15 imo.

yes, but I had Rich in my top 20 when Vitor beat him...and Vitor didnt just beat him he pretty much destroyed him.

Yeah, I guess I'm a little high on Mousasi because he is one of my favorite fighters but I still think he's one of the best out there right now and thats why he's in my top 10

Vitor because he had success on and off his whole career at HW and LHW, which is why he is an honorable mention.

Who cares where people at websites rank Diego. He isn't in any top ten lists because LW is such a swolen division. He won TUF at 185, fought at a high level at 70, and then 55.


Bigs not trying to pick on you but BJ and Machida never met in the cage before...

They fought in a ring overseas. Machida got deserving decision. They should cage fight though.

Logical thinking, if he beats Hendo, he moves to 6 for me

BJ's a fucking LW, Machida is a LHW

Yeah but their gamers. Plus BJ will fight anyone.

Yeah I'm with you on Diego, can't believe the rankings that drop him from the top 10 cause he gets beat down by the best LW ever, hope he gets a top guy next. Pretty sure he was still ranked in the top 10 WWs when he dropped too.


Regret, I can go with that on Vitor, plus with what Wolfy said, I'd have him 20-25

1. Fedor
2. Machida
3. Anderson
4. GSP
5. Penn
6. Aldo
7. Mousasi
8. Brock
9. Bowles
10. Marquardt or Shields

Brock still belongs imo

Brock never belonged!!!

You're right, my bad, that's just a phrase I use for the most part. They met in K-1. Either way, they fought, BJ lost a UD.

True but they still fought. How else can p4p rankings be tested other than for the guys to get in a cage (or ring) and fight? They fought an open weight, BJ weighed 191lbs and Machida weighed 220lbs. Sucks for BJ but he stepped in and lost.

1.Spider
2.GSP
3.Fedor
4.Machida
5.BJ
6.Shogun
7.Mousasi
8.Rashad
9.Fitch
10.Hendo

If anything that fight speaks to how good BJ is, not Machida.

True
