Sherdogs P4P no fedor

ha ha, not even on the list? I thought maybe u meant not #1 anymore, but not even top 10? Dana has them by the tail for sure.

So the website that had him at 3 for so long because they felt forced to do so dropped him??? No??? How could this extremely credible site do such a thing???

Shad a top 10 p4p guy? Above Fedor? Totally, absolutely, ridiculous.

I know, I was never a fan of their rankings in the first place

i think its funny.

I laugh everytime I see Jon Fitch at #6 on their list

ya fitch is a WTF?

Fedor is the greatest HW and one of the top fighters in any weight class of all time. That said, for a HW to crack a "P4P" list they need to essentially be untouchable, and Fedor's loss has removed the aura of invincibility, which was the only thing that had him in the P4P list to begin with.

Sherdog still has him as the #3 HW, which is entirely reasonable. It would be pretty difficult to justify putting the #3 guy in his weight class in a P4P list without including both guys above him too.

I am not shocked, but I agree with Chicken I was never a big fan of their rankings.

I dont have a real beef with shad being in the top 10 at all.

Corrected.


Sherdog is wrong. Fedor beats larger opponents often using one of the most well rounded games in MMA. He wins easily in other weight classes too. Sherdog is a site I abandoned a long time ago, now I'll never be back.

God this websites rankings are awful.

It's not difficult to put a very small HW on a p4p list above 2 huge heavies, who may or may not have earned higher divisional rankings.

Small heavies trump large heavies in p4p discussion. It's a very reasonable concept.

their fight finder is pretty darn good.

Of course. I'm speaking about their articles and analysis. Bloodyelbow has a higher end mixture of assbabble and analysis, if I need that, I'll go there. Even if luke thomas is some what of a forum kiddie.

Frankie Edgar at #4 just makes me laugh at that list.

what do you expect? It's Sherdog....

I expect crap from sherdogs rankings. That list is like some one ate shit, then 25 minutes later they puked it up onto a 4 day old mastiff carcass.

everyone knows their rankings have always mostly been a joke

No no no

Far too many people use their rankings, but they have always sucked big giant donkey ass.

Only in the last year have so have a larger portion of fans come around on how bad they are.

lol...wow.

THis is why i don't care for or make P4P rankings..they are usually void of understanding of what P4P is and it changes by the season.

Fedor's skills translate everywhere. He never used crap like brute strength and size to get by in a division full of giants...Fedor would be equally dangerous if you put his skills in any type of body be it 135,145 and up. Probably more dangerous.

The fact that they don't have him top 10 because he lost a fight after 10 years is sucking up to somebody...but who?

+1 Kings. +1

Do you think it's Sherdog trying to get back into Dana's good books ?

He's a better fighter than Fedor p4p. He has a much better recent resume, where he actually fights the best fighters in one of the sport's best divisions. Fedor had a long time of fighting mid tier opponents in the least skilled division. It's pretty simple.
