I don't consider Mo or Mousasi to be top 10 LHW...objections?

I got Mo and Mousasi in my top 10. I still feel Mousasi is as good as I thought before I just think I and a whole lot of other people overlooked King Mo. They both have weaknesses that the top of the ufc lhw's would expose but I still feel like they are top 10 worthy imo.

I'll have them in the lower range of the top ten. 8, 9 and 10 range. If people don't have them in there, I don't have a problem with that.

LA and SOONERS - never had you two pegged as irrational Strikeforce hating crazies. Bad sign.

Mousasi was incredibly overrated, I remember putting him at 8 in the rankings, but mostly to avoid the "are you kidding me bs" really I thought he was a just outside the top 10 guy. I have Mo at 9, but it's not completely ridiculous if you put him at 11 or 12.

Ok then it was an over simplification. LA, you're more rational now after a day straight of beatdown, but a couple days ago Mousasi had the worst takedown defense in history and Mark Munoz not taking Hamill down means Mo has average wrestling. Your seething hatred has been dailed down to a low boil toward the Strikeforce LHW division.


SOONERS - if it isn't haterism than it's just very off the wall thinking. Rich and Hendo in the LHW rankings over Mousasi and Mo? That's like keeping Gomi in the rankings at the expense of Maynard or Sylvia or Arlovski in the rankings at the expense of Cain.

Well Mousasi does have bad takedown D, many other posters will attest to that.

Never said Mo has average wrestling, he's a multi Nat Champ winner, what I said was, and this is where the Hammill/Munoz thing came in, is that fighters with pretty solid wrestling themselves can stuff some of the best wrestlers takedown attempts.

Mo's striking is as advanced as we've ever seen from a wrestler at his stage. Stuff it and he is still incredibly dangerous. There aren't 6 guys who would be favored to beat him in the UFC for my money.

I'd take that bet

Machida
Shogun
Page
Shad (teammates right?)
Anderson
Lil Nog
Bones

There isn't a fighter named that it would be impossible for Mo to beat.

Fantasic quote by Mantis

"i guess I should have figured that if someone beats a hype train he becomes a hype train."

Who gets the hype train from Mo?

Mo isn't losing in SF

Never know.
