MMA P4P and Weight Class Rankings

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Let the discussion begin. Honestly, I think P4P rankings are retarded. So I'm not gonna waste my energy on arguing why guys are where they are in my rankings. A guy like Jose Aldo could never beat a WW/MW who's not even in the top 10. So really, all you do is take the best of the best in their weight class, and throw 'em in a rankings and really, after a certain point, it's a toss up.

Im a big Kingsbury fan, and honestly, outside of the 10 I listed, there really isn't but 5-6 more guys worth mentioning in the discussion(in the world). So why not put the promising up coming guy in there. I liked that Markes dude from Aldos came from last night, but wanna see more of him.

As far as the fight goes with Fabio, I don't see a gift wrapped decision at all. Fabio landed a couple body shots in the 1st round, and Kingsbury opened himself for a guillotine attempt but other than that, he took Fabio down twice and knee'd this shit out of him. Pretty much the same thing in the 2nd round, but less effective damage from Fabio. At worse it was 29-28 across the board, and that's if you had Fabio winning round 3.

I agree. Not same Shogun, not same Forrest. I don't think Forrest is hungry like he used to be. Shogun will be in shape and healthy, the rust will be shaken. I see a TKO brewing. The way he lost to Jones made people drop him so far. I don't care, he's still better then any other LHW you could pit behind Jones.

WAR SHOGUN!

 

[ukgaz]

Agree on Shogun. The first loss to Forrest as well as his destruction at the hands of Jones will equal to a fired up Shogun

But if Forrest can get this to the 3rd round then he will have a chance

Barao might have to shoot up from #6 to the top 5 now. Sadly though, not many knew of him. All I needed to know was he trained with Aldo and watched some of his fights. Dude has a future!!

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Brenneman OUT, Shields down further, and Ellenburger up in the top 6-7

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Forrest OUT, Rampage down, and some new blood rising.

Antonio Silva down, Schaub out, and Cormier in top 10
