One vote at 15th got him there over others, if you disagree there are two things you can do about. You already have done one of them.

The more people who vote, the better the results. No other site even attempts this. Show who you think the best fighters are.

Ninja's Place MMA, Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any more pathetic, you go and do something like this…and totally redeem yourself! Looks Awesome! I'll be doing something cool for this along with a blog entry tomorrow night.

If you haven't yet listed your rankings yet or want to edit what you have, do so by Sunday 5:00pm Eastern.

Looks awesome GDP? What are you smoking? I have seen some that have Fedor in the top 10 but Werdum isn't even listed! Way too much hero worship. My favorite two fighters are Florian and Randy, but you don't see me adding them to my list. BTW, thanks for doing this, I know it is time consuming.

suck a snotty nose andrew.

Yo you should extend the deadline until tomorrow just incase anyone still hasn't submitted theirs yet. It aint like we're gonna be like "oh shit fuck this damn football game, I gotta answer bitchtits P4P thread on time"

Maybe because we have seen guys in other weight classes with Werdums exact skillset get they're shit pushed in on the regular by well rounded fighters. Maybe because nobody has been able to duplicate Fedor's style yet. Maybe because your responsible for Justin.Tv getting sued... The world may never know.
