Mousasi at 3? holy shit this shits getting out of hand

I got a late submission so I have to redo the numbers.

Who did you get to submit? And is she attractive?

Finish!

A few thoughts
-JDS keeps rising after a strong 108 victory
-205 division is as tough as ever. The voting showed it.
-170 & 185 have a big gap after the first 4 guys
-155 3-8 are pretty damn close
-Outside of the top 3 the 145 division is a sorts of mixed up

I can't belive that Kenflo is that far down on the votes. I think he would beat Aoki's ass, plus everybody, but BJ Penn at 155.

It's fine if you believe that, I think a couple guys could beat Aoki, but Kenny doesn't have the resume at LW to be ranked above Aoki. Aoki has lost only one fight at LW to Hell Boy, but then beaten a whole bunch of good LWs.

I agree with you that Aoki could be beaten by Kenny and probably a few other UFC LWs, but we may never know. I really want to see Aoki fight Gil. If Gil gives Aoki problems then you know the top 5 UFC guys could probably take him out.

I personally am probably undervaluing KenFlo. I've just never been a fan, but he's dominated some very good fighters in the last few years; Lauzon, Stevenson, Guida, & Huerta. Now they aren't the cream of the crop, but the they are solid and got beat very soundly. I want to see a Florian-Sanchez rematch before Sanchez leaves 155 for good.

I think Sherk & Griffin should be getting more love in the polls too.

I like Sherk and Griffin in the standings better than Sanchez.

You are right about 205, and anyone who thinks Mousasi isn't deserving to be in that mix is simply spending far too much time swimming in bong water to attempt to really evaluate MMA talent. As far as the FW division goes, I think that some people just aren't educated to the fighters fighting outside the WEC. Guys like Bibiano, Hioki, Kanehara, Sandro and even Omigawa recently have been performing at as high a level as the big name WEC guys, IMO.

Hey Farmer, just noticed you had two Kanehara's in your FW rankings. Hiromitsu is a LHW if I'm not mistaken. I think someone missed there... Give those points to Masanori, he deserves them...

Beating Babalu and Soko puts u at 3? Nobody said he isn't young and talented, but fucking 3rd already is going overboard.

You're awesome, LA... Keep on that one man crusade because no one else here has a clue about MMA. You da man, bro...

Common sense is a powerful thing bro, and if I'm posting on message boards at 40+, I give anyone the right to shoot me dead.

Easy kiddo, why you always gotta get personal? I mean I'm not running around saying, "If I'm an unmotivated, jobless, goalless stoner at 25, please shoot me dead"... Am I? You'd love the security to be able to do as you please while the business you have killed yourself to create is running like a well oiled machine outside your window... Then again, We've discussed your motivation issues, so I doubt that appeals to you. Sorry, said I wouldn't go there...

Back to topic... I'm just saying that it's obvious that just about everyone else on this board doesn't seem to have a problem with his placement, so we all must not have a clue, right? If you want to put Evans and Page ahead of him, I have no problem with that since we haven't seen him face any current UFC talent. But I think having a 15 fight win streak and embarrassing, not just beating but embarrassing just about all of those 15 is noteworthy (And you act like running through the likes of Babalu, Soko, Manhoef, Souza, Lombard, Kang and Hunt isn't worth anything). Not to mention, it's pretty easy in most of our eyes to see the talent and skill this beast has. We don't need to see him beat Machida, Rua, Evans or Page to know he should be mentioned in that league. And those UFC fights will come soon enough and I will still be here to be at the forefront saying, "I told you so"... After you wake up from your bong induced stuper... Sorry...

I can agree with what you're getting at, LA. He might not have the resume of some, but he''s got potential.

Here is an interesting note.

Record vs the current top 10 (hope I didn't miss anything)
Rampage is 0-2 (Shogun, Forrest)
Silva is 0-2 (Machida, Rashad)
Lil Nog is 0-1 (Shogun)
Mousasi is 0-0
Couture is 0-0
Griffin is 2-2 (Shogun, Rampage, Rashad, Anderson)
Shogun is 2-2 (Rampage, Lil Nog, Forrest, Machida)
Rashad is 2-1 (Forrest, Silva, Machida)
Anderson is 1-0 (Forrest)
Machida is 3-0 (Silva, Rashad, Shogun)

Just like I'm not saying, you're a phony business owner, who for so much so called success, finds himself posting on message boards hours a week.

Look back through the posts bro, who happens to be the first one to post some personal bullshit?

Also turning 23 in 10 days, aspiring to go to Med and Pharmacy school is goalless? not sure I want to dedicate years of my life to something I might end up regreting. Wanting to travel after graduation is a ridiculous concept? and who said I was jobless?

Again never said he isn't talented, but ranked at 3rd already is jumping the gun. He has yet to beat a top 10 fighter in any weight class, and the Jacare he faced isn't as good as the one who has drastically improved his standup. The reality is it's way too early to place him 3, I'd have him at 6 with no Anderson in the rankings and 7th with Anderson in the rankings. Many questions of mine will be answered when he hopefully faces Hendo, who'd be by far his toughest opponent yet.

Shogun
Page
Shad (not going to cry if you have him at 3)
