nice list
Bull shit list
How come your list does not echo what the article says?
Ex. The article says Mizugaki is number nine, but the list shows him in the number ten spot.
Fixed – Thank you!
i love benavidaz but johnson should be at number 3.
Thats accurate I think…
Am I the only one who thinks faber is overrated?
After he faces Brian Bowles we shall see who is overrated.
I also think faber is overrated
in his earlier fights he looked great but since aldo kicked his ass i dont think hes shown a lot either
I think he slowed down after Mike Brown beat him twice. He is a tough fight for anybody though.
I think 4 or 5 people on that list would beat him IMHO…Torres, Benavidez, Pickett, maybe DJ and obviously we’ll find out about bowles soon.
