Gil over Showtime? You shut your mouth now!

Melendez has been the best LW in the world since Edgar pushed his record against Maynard to 1-2.

Updated.

I'll just freestyle the LW rankings, I'm sure there are some fights and fighters I could forget. I also think body of work> h2h and hate the concept that you can't rank someone above someone they lost to. LW also has a lot of toss ups and tomorrow I could do another list and come up with a different order. Most competitive division in MMA right now.

1.Chandler- IMO he beat EA.
2.Gil
3.Grant
4.Pettis
5.Bendo
6.Alvarez
7.RDA
8.Diaz
9.Thompson
10.Nurmagomedov

Just for fun I like these style matchups:
Pettis vs Gil
Alvarez vs Thompson
Chandler vs Bendo
Diaz vs Nurmagomedov
Grant vs RDA

Do you think Nate's brother throws in the towel again if Nate earns a rematch with Thomson?

If the fight played out the same way as before then yes. But I think a rematch would be a very competitive fight so no I wouldn't expect to see any towel thrown in. I'd love to see them go at it again.

I sense bitterness for no reason. I could be wrong but seems like you and Ludo are all the sudden not too happy with me.

You and your Diazism makes you low hanging fruit.  And I am the fruit ninja!!!!            Besides, when I get mad I change to Comic Sans MS

It's not like I came on and started talking about how great Diaz was. I just thought it was unfair that the haters refuse to say a single word about him or his performance. Not one mentioned of Diaz. You would have sworn Gray was in there punching himself in the face.
You guys are the ones that are being unreasonable because you your feelings towards Diaz. All I did was come in and mention the fact that he was also in the cage that night but I guess that's me being a homer...

I don't hate Nate Diaz at all. As I said, my perception of him didn't change after that fight and the story of the evaporation of Maynard's ability to take damage and his future was a much more interesting topic to me, guy.

It doesn't bother me too much either, but in my best interest I'd wish the price would go down instead of up, or a move away from the ppv model. It will not change my buying habits, I get about 6 or 7 ppvs a year lately.
