MMA RANKINGS - CHAPTER 3...

Lame.

Lame, sparky, is you hating, on a 39 year old legend who's still thrashing people because you weren't watching MMA prior to UFC 75.

Mate I started watching MMA in the 90's and have seen all the early UFC's. I have no hate for Dan at all.

Well I was thinking the only people who didn't respect Dan as a fighter were retarded or TUF virgins. Sorry for giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Lol, I don't hate Dan at all. I honestly don't. I think he's an all-time great. I have him between 9-15 all-time and number 6 right now at LHW. He also is good enough to beat anyone at 205 besides probably Jones.

Why do you still have Rockhold so far out of the top ten when he just beat a top 5 middleweight?

Cause I'm using more than MMAth in deciding. He deserved to win but failed to really impress me, I might be being too generous where I have him.

He landed combinations like they were on two for one special and spent pretty much zero time on the ground after round two, and was able to power out of most of the ground situations Jacare got him in while they were fresh. I don't see what there isn't to be impressed about.

Rockhold is in the top ten immediately. That dude can fight. If he is stopping Jacare like that, then as far as I am concerned Chael Sonnen, and to a lesser extent Mark Munoz, and maybe Okami are the only guys who could take him down. Maia seems to have focused heavily on his striking and his Judo based clinch takedown game has suffered. If he is taken down, he is an athletic submission artist. On the feet he looks like Alan Belcher. That was some athletic, technical, awesome shit. Rarely does explosive and athletic apply in such circumstances.

Kennedy should have the cardio and well-roundedness to make that a pretty exciting fight assuming it gets made

Luke will next level Kennedy. That will end up being fairly one sided I believe.

I'll most likely be taking Rockhold but the fight should have a nice pace to it

I think some of you need knee surgery. Guy was throwing 80 punches a round landing 10 maybe 20, none even that good until well after Jacare was finished in the third. That was Souza's worst performance I have seen in a very long time. Luke's credit to the win is keeping the fight out of Jacare's strong areas.
