Kimbo #11
- Thread starter kickserv
- Start date
Featherweight: Mike Brown #4??? How the hell is he not #1 or #2?
Heavyweight: Nog #3??? I'd put him closer to #13.
Light Heavyweight: Babalu is ranked? That division is stacked and he makes the rankings? Thiago Silva #4 after getting destroyed against his first significant opponent?
I have more to discuss, but I'm not sure I need to go on.

"Pound for Pound" rankings are so tough to do.....Top 4 of Torres, Fedor, GSP and Anderson are clear cut in my opinion, after that well anybody's guess:SIB
But no doubt who the top 4 are.
Always a nice debate thoughkurby

Kimbo's temp. break may be a factor in him not being ranked currently.
Torres is my clear #4.
Nog and Mir come on. Mir is top 10 but 9 or 10. Nog is on the decline and doesnt even try for takedowns anymore.
I have been more impressed with these fighters of late:
Josh Barnett
Overeem
KenFlo
Thiago Alves
Kick out Nog and Machida and insert Barnett and Alves right now in my opinion.
I am hoping rumors of Overeem to the UFC come true. He is a beast right now.
And WHERE IS SETH on this list?? He has to be in the top 3 after what he did.

Everyone knows that you putting Silva tied with GSP is representative of you KNOWING that Silva is better....
:0corn
First dawgball doesn't submit my picks now he takes a shot at GSP......
kickserv full out breakdown
Oh and reason they are tied is because both are so far above the rest they should be tied. Only way to settle it will be the "superfight".
And no Forrest in kegray rankings either....damn poor Griffin:scared
And yep...Kimbo should be Top 5 by end of the year for sure:142smilie

The top three can be shuffled all around IMO... Fedor, GSP, and Anderson are pretty clear cut.
I havent put much thought into it, but off the top of my head the next three would look like this:
4) Penn
5) Mike Brown (i think he runs shit at 145)
6) Machida
I cant disagree w/ Torres being ranked highly, but i do think his record is a little inflated having fought his share of barroom drunks in his day... :142smilie Super talented, but i need to see him face Brian Bowles.. i think the bantamweight division is one of the weaker ones right now, but hey.... JMO.

Anderson Silva is better than GSP....
Name 1 fighter that GSP has faced that actually is well rounded, and could pose a threat on the ground & on the feet...or a guy who legitimately scared you in 1 position?? On top of the fact that Anderson is a weight class above, and faced better opponents.
I hate pound for pound rankings because the logic behind them and then the rankings don't make sense.
GSP wouldn't beat any legitimate TOP 5 MW, LHW, or HW....so how is he ranked? I just hate p4p rankings because they make completely ZERO sense.

Gee what a shocker....Bucs doesn't think GSP is top 10....shocking:142smilie
The only guy on planet earth that doesn't think GSP is top 10, but I give him credit, GSP destroys Penn and yet still Bucs sticks to his hatred, bucs is consistent I'll give him that.
You do realize that you do kinda make yourself look a tad silly when you say "why is he ranked"? I mean I know you hate the guy and everything but nobody on this earth that knows anything about MMA would say GSP isn't top 10. I mean him and Anderson are so clearly the top 2 yet you don't even think he's top 10:scared
I mean I hate Aoki, Penn, Hughes, and Diego, yet I at least accept that they are good (ok well Hughes kinda stinks now).
Bucs I think your an idiot, a racist and a piece of scum. And you think I am an asshole. Yet I do know you know your MMA. But come on buddy, even you have to come around and admit that you are way way way off when it comes to GSP. I mean he and Anderson are so dominant at what they do. How in the love of fuck can you honestly ask "why is GSP ranked" and not literally have a brain shit. I mean seriously dude.
I can't stand you and you can't stand me, but even I feel a bit of pitty for you sometimes....a bit.
