Rashad should definitely be number 2
No.
Hendo would embarrass rashad.
he should at least be top 3. Between him and hendo for number 2 idk. Would be one hell of a fight and i dont know who would win
ENOUGH ALREADYFORREST NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE TOP 10 LIST LIKE YESTERDAY
How the hell is rashad ranked higher than Machida. Shrt friggen memories on these ranking idiots “STANKY LEGS” jog your memory at all. machida would KO rashad again easily
MACHIDA WOULD CRUSH RASHAD AGAIN
im a huge fan of hendo but number 2? really? dude got beat by jake shields, and rampage. and maybe if shogun was the slightest bit consistent he could be up that high on the list. rashad is defiantly number 2. and all i have to say is **** king mo
Nope.
Hendo lose to Shields @ Middle Weight?
King Mo? How is he even on this list with his suspension and all??
I think Mousasi belongs on there more than king mo.
Forrest should not be on the top 10!
lol forrest what da heck is going on here lost in the past or what
I am a fan of rampage.. but he is definitely #5.. He is retiring after this fight win or lose(from the looks of all the interviews).
Yeah pretty much what everyone else just said.
Rampage beat Henderson.. How is henderson ranked 2nd
1.Jones
2.Rashad
3.Rua
4.Rampage
5.Henderson
6.Machida
Rampage beat Hendo a while ago. By that logic are you saying Machida should be ranked higher than Rashad? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Got to put Hendo above Rua.
1. Jones
2. Rashad
3.Hendo
4.Rua
5.Machida
6.Rampage
yh that looks a lot better than above
maaaan machida should be 2nd hes the man
All these lists are ridiculous, Brock retires, not on HW, BJ retires, #5 on WW. C’mon guys, losing more and more credibility. Maybe you need some new employees.
Brock was never a top contender
He was champion twice…
I think this list looks spot on except for Rashad. Rashad is next in line for the title but he should be lower than 4 in my opinion. He is the worst kind of fighter. He rarely finishes fights. Nothing against Davis but Rashad should have finished him in the second round at the very latest. He acts like he’s scared to exchange or something, and as good as a wrestler as he is he should be able to finish most of his fights ground and pound Tito style.
Take king mo off the list and put in Gustaffson
You guys are retarded….If you think rampage should be higher than hendo your on crack… Yes he did beat him by a close decision but its NOW! we are talking about…. We can all agree rampage is going to retire after he gets beat by Badars Wrestling.
Alexander Gustafsson would beat the last three guys imo.
100% agree. He just needs more fights.
Agree. I think Gustafsson would give most of that list a good fight. I’d even give him a good chance of beating Machida and Shogun, and I’m a fan of both.
Tim Tebow is #2 on this list, hands down.
I said ‘hands down’!!! You just been trololololed
Tim Tebow is #2 on this list, hands down.
I said ‘hands down’!!! You just been trololololed
get ready to change that list when thiago silva gets back
Rashad is clearly number 2
Jones
Evans
Hendo
Rua
Machida
I love the fact Ryan Bader is not top 10
You’ll see; if Gegard Mousasi sign with the UFC; he’s going to do a strike with that top 10
