Post Your Top 10 MMA Rankings

[B-Buzz]

thought it'd be cool to see who people think should be ranked, since there's so many different variables people use. Feel free to tell me why I'm an idiot/post your own/update them whenever there's a ranked fight. Maybe eventually we can have an official Siccness rankings system.

[Count_Slapula]

no Cung Le?

I like most of your list though and would agree..

 

[B-Buzz]

Cung forfeited his belt instead of fighting a ranked guy (so he could make more money acting, but whatever), and then lost to Scott Smith. Even though he beat him in the rematch, he still needs to beat Jacare or some combo of Lawler/Hendo/Kennedy/Manhoef/Mayhem/Rockhold to get ranked

I WOULD HAVE EDDIE ALVAREZ RANKED HIGHER AS WELL...FROM WHAT IM HEARING FRANKIE EDGAR GETS WORKED BY ALVAREZ ON A DAILY... AND SAID HE THINKS EDDIE IS POSSIBLY THE BEST LIGHT WEIGHT AT THE MOMENT.

THOUGH HE'S LOST TWICE...IT WAS TO NICK THOMPSON...AND AOKI

So you have Brock ranked lower than two fighters he beat? And JDS below a fighter he beat?

At the time of the post yes, I went based off of quality of opponents and quality of wins.

After Werdum lost to JDS he went and tapped out a strong opponent in Mike Kyle in a minute, schooled Bigfoot on the feet for 3 rounds, and tapped out the #1 HW in the world at the time in less than 2 minutes. Tapping the number 1 HW in the world definitely gives you a boost in rankings in my eyes. JDS' wins after the Werdum fight don't seem like as strong of a schedule. Wins over Bigfoot and Fedor seem alot stronger then wins over Crocop, Gilbert Yvel, and Gabe Gonzaga. Although the Roy Nelson win was a big win. But it's just personal opinion.


Brock Lesnar was ranked low on that list due to the fact he only fought twice in almost two years and was smashed in both fights. Shane Carwin got tapped out, but looked more impressive in my eyes, kinda like the Chael Sonnen/Anderson Silva fight. The ref (in some peoples eyes) should've stopped the fight in round 1 against Carwin and Carwin got tired due to dropping about a 100 hammer fists in rapid succession (which would happen to alot of people). In my eyes Brock needs a crazy impressive performance to be ranked higher in my top 10.
