MMA Heavyweights: Who beats who? May 2012

I updated the old head to head list maker. 66 of the most relevant Heavyweights in MMA plus a couple of surprises from middleweight and light heavyweight. As usual the larger the sample of votes the better this thing shakes out, so long as no one weighs it down to much on their own, so pick away.

I'll make this for all divisions and P4P over the next few weeks.

No point. It's pretty crap.

And why is that?

Look at the results.

...what about them?

Look fine to me so far. We just need more votes to make the stats work.

Green for getting it.

Just for perspective, the last time I did this we used 32 fighters and got over 3200 votes about a year ago, these were the results:

1st Cain Velasquez won 198 of 215 comparisons

31st Arron Rosa won 33 of 218 comparisons
32nd Jeff Monson won 26 of 174 comparisons

That last hw head to head I made broke the crowdsort record. It would be cool if everyone in the Ninja's Place MMA scene jammed out with their clam out on this and we smashed that record.

This is the same way the NFL decides its top 100.

Sweet. Glad you found it. I couldn't find it for the life of me.

James Thompson vs Sean McKorkle

Thiago Santos vs Gabriel Gonzaga
Shawn Jordan vs Roy Nelson
Fedor Emelianenko vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
