Well gmroz I knew that was coming......but to me GSP is #1 (the competition he's fought and the way he beats guys is just incredible) and I know you are pissed but I have Lyoto at 6. But hey your boy is getting some big time respect now....ya got to be happy. To me I just couldn't put your boy above Georges St. Pierre, Anderson Silva, Fedor Emelianenko, Miguel Torres or Hatsu Hioki. A lot of damn good MMA fighters out there, hard to put him in top 5. No way he should be above Fedor, Anderson or GSP, but maybe ahead of Hioki or Torres. But to me Hatsu and Torres are just so impressive it is tough to put Lyoto there. But hey, you gotta be happy that's he's Top 5 now (in most polls). Gmrozz gotta be happy camper:SIB
Bottom line, Lyoto has a long way to go to crack top 3, but within his division I am not sure who is going to beat him:shrug: I think he'll beat Rua easily, but that's not going to move him up, Rua is nowhere near top 10 p for p in my mind. In fact I don't even think Rua is top 10 in his division.
