Myth - Ace is vastly superior to Forrest in any aspect of this fight.

Reality - Forrest is as good or better a striker than Griffin is. He's also bigger with longer reach and a better ground game.




Forrest's fight to lose.

Ace will destroy him.

HUH? no way dude, Gump should take this IMO

Tough pick for me. These guys both have their talents and their deficiencies are slight in regards to facing each other. I'm gonna wait 3 months then pick.

Take it the chin. Ace finishes this fight.

Initial reaction is Forrest SD. I'll have to think about this one for a while though

Ninja's Place Division LHW Rankings will see upcoming:
#1 vs #3
#2 vs #4
#6 vs Bader(#11 pre-Rogerio fight)
#7 vs #8
Good for them, , good for them.

Bader's like 7 now

I could see Bones and Bader filling in #5 and #6, Rogerio down below #7 and #8 Rich and Forrest. Just for fun.

Is Lil Nog still top ten or is he outside looking in?

There's no way Nog isn't ahead of Couture who made our top 10 somehow

Bader is in so someone is out. I would bump Randy before Rogerio. Hard to tell whats up with the SF LHW's also.

Its Captain America!!!
but yea, i still see Lil Nog in, bump randy out of the ten spot and there you have it

Couture being in our rankings pretty much renders them a joke and makes it not even worth submitting votes for.

I bet it turns into an interesting slugfest. Ace wins UD.

I stopped voting a long time ago.

Franklin KOs another TUF vet

We had like zero participation last time. Makes it a lot easier for people to make it on when only like 2 people have to have them ranked

Finally I get my wish.

We should limit this to just mods or throw out votes that are ridiculous. No offense to our members here but I can think of a few guys who just don't watch enough MMA or just aren't really up on the nature of sport. Bader, Mo, Mousasi, all of these guys are in before Forrest or Franklin, much less an archaic Randy who best win is a gift against Vera.

I don't like that idea. We shouldn't hide deficiencies if they exist, and they do, our rankings are as better or worse as any publications out there. The participants represent this community, results won't ever be agreeable. I think Franklin is rated too high. Forest I think is a bit high but well below his consensus rating. The last spots are tricky as always.

Ya, or we could just make my rankings the default rankings.

I got Griffin. Just seems like the type of matchup Griffin would win even though i hold Franklin in higher regard.

We could elect a group to make our official rankings lol

So not only are you anti-semi, your anti-Couture as well? WTF did he allegedly do wrong in your skewed version of the world?
