| Why is BJ Penn an option? I think both Chandler and Maynard would be better options at this point. | |

No one would vote Maynard or Chandler number 1. I just put Penn in their for his followers and to see whether they would still vote him in or if they are more realistic now. |

| I voted Gil because all 3 of the realistic canidates have ?s from their last fight. But Gil would be most deserving of "Best LW in the World" at the moment IMO. | |

No he doesn't. If anything it's equal. They both have no right being on the list. None. | |

| I couldn't help but think that Gil and Nate were saying to each other at cage side as they watched Edgar vs Bendo II, "For realz?? We would fuck up both these fools.""I know right!" | |

| I think they can all kick eachothers asses. I dont see a definitive best right now. Too much talent in the divison.
If I am forced to pick right now, I have to say Henderson because he is the champ in the best MMA promotion there is.
And yeah I am with freak about Aldo. I think he will come in and wreck faces and legs. | |

Gill doesn't have a ? In his last fight?a fight most saw him losing? BJ AND Edgar have no business on this list as they both lost 2 in a row at lw | |

Because a motivated BJ is so invincible he could rematch Machida and KO him. |

| Out of the people that can make LW I think in terms of current greatness (regardless of record or H2H match ups) it goes something like this.
1. Aldo 2. Pettis 3. Edgar 4. Bendo 5. Maynard 6. Gil

I hold Pettis up there, and he will solidify himself if he beats Cowboy. I expect fireworks with that one. | |

BJ AND Edgar have no business on this list as they both lost 2 in a row at lw I think more people were in agreement that Bendo lost then Gil lost. There were plenty of sites that gave that fight to Gil. There wasn't a single site that gave that fight to Bendo. Looks like close to 75% of the fans think Frankie beat Bendo. Don't think the # is that high for Gil-Thompson. More people disagree with this decision then that decision, alot more people. | |
