strikeforce and bellator champs don’t stack up to ufc contenders or the top 10
i like rockhold cuz im also from santa cruz, but he’s not top 10 yet
Where is Vitor Belfort????
..Bisping,Weidman???..Maia,Stann..Ranked better than Belfort?..Very fynny!!
Yeah what a joke Vitor Belfort would tear Bisping head off in less than one round. Easily #2 MW in world
I am not rattling great with English but I get hold this rattling easygoing to translate.
Shit…put Luke Rockhold in there with Okami and see what happens..Luke can throw down he would kick Okami ‘s ass..I don’t even like that surfer, but I tell it how it is..
where the **** is hendo?
you would put munoz over bisping? i know bisping is an annoying **** but he could hang with chael and only got knocked out by hendo and tbh everyone gets knocked out by hendo
brian stann????
hendo is at 205..
hendo fights in mustiple. he wants to wait for silva and has fought 185 many times. how you think he knocked out bisping.
Hendo said he will only fight at 185 if he gets silva soo he mostly 205
last fight at 205 he ranked at 205 period
what’s mustiples dude?
Switch Okami with Bisping.
No Way Okami is #3
indeed, wtf
Okami sux! Maybe should be ranked 11th!
Cool tips! I have been seeking something such as this for a while now. Thank you!
Vitor??
That’s what I was thinking….
yup whoever made these rankings definitly shit the bed i dunno if id say hes top 5 but def top 10
My thoughts to. bisping on the list and vitors not? Who ever made this list had to just forget about vitor cuz there is now way he is not top ten. I dont think there is any way he is not top 5 but it is arguable
Luke rockhold over hector lombard…Why? and no Vitor this is just a list of names not a top 10
crazy vitor is better than the bottom half of that list sort ur nappas out and bisping beat chael although it was close youshin gets smashed against top fighters bisping would blitz him
Welterweight top ten is in desperate need of an update!
I don’t even see a point to ranking the Middleweight division. Its 1. Anderson Silva, and then everyone else.
would love to see lombard in UFC
Where is Vitor?
can see bisping vs okami please
again who is the idiot who put this top 10 together? stick to boxing you know nothing about MMA.
Bisping would wreck Okami. He should have number 3 spot. Vitor should def be in the top 10.
Where is Vitor, a guy who after a Title Shot, won 2 fights and, if he win Wanderlei he will get another TS. Vitor Belfort is TOP 5 in MW.
where the **** is belfort and toquinho
Vitor is def top 6..
Vitor is definitely top 5 MW right now! How is he not on the list is what I’m wondering? Chris Weidman is on the list but no Vitor? WTF!!!
Alright Bisping is pretty good but Rockhold could beat him. Rockhold is also better than Stann and Maia.
And Hector could be top 3 because that guy is raw. Speaking of raw power! Where is Rousimar (does anyone know how to spell his name) Palahares on this list!?
Okami is average. Bisping and Munoz should both be higher than them. Not sure who would come first between Mike and Mark, but Okami is below them. I wouldn’t even keep Maia in the top 10 anymore, he’s lost it. Belfort and Palharas should be in there ahead of guys like Stann. I think Jacare is between 10-8, but Rockhold should be up there. On a decent winning streak, having the belt, and he looks impressive.
you know people i dont know how vitor is not counted cuz man not even anderson silva wants to fight with this guy again.Any of the fighters that he fought if am not mistaken he make them look like shit and there still sleeping can not wake up.
another thing is that if vitor fights any of these fighters he will be looking really bad in the ring. please guys dont let talking make the decision for u people ?/????let action speak for it self and also again this is not WWF cuz if it is then i will stop watching this modern wwfufc.
1. Silva This is from the fights i have watched in the ufc and there skill
2. sonnen skill sets theres no strikeforce or others because i only watch
3. munoz the ufc i think this is the true ufc ranking bisping and munoz
4. bisping was the hardest to choose
5. vitor
6. okami
7. weidman
8. Mia
9. Stann
10. wanderlie silva
So why is sonnen number 2? because he got the decision over bisping? Did he really win that match on points? Or did the UFC wanna see Sonnen and Silva again? Ok Ill man up and say Sonnen won only by decision so yea maybe but to have bisping at number 5? Really? They always say dont leave it in the hand of the judges i guess.. But come on he should be at least number 3 or 4..4 losses and 3 of them were VERY close decisions that could of went either way if he wasnt such a dick..Like people said before the only person he really lost to was Hendo and he got knocked out.. Okami number 3? wtf is going on here.. Seems like a personal list of what they like then actual talent..Judges in the UFC are no better then the ones in Boxing.. and this Ranking list is that of a grade schooler.. sorry but you should revise this list into something more real…
Wheres Vitor hes at least 5th and Okami should be under Munoz and Bisping and Vitor
There is no bloody way Yushin and Munoz should be over Bisping!! Gee who did Munoz win Leben who Bisping already beat?? Bisping should be #3 if not #2!!
Agree Bisping is #3 right now. I can’t see the argument against, he should have got the decision against Chael which I think converted a lot of doubters. I’d have Vitor and Palhares in my top 10 for sure.
Okami needs to be moved way down and Belfort needs to be put on there. Even though the only people he has beaten lately is an out of shape Anthony Johnson and a losing Akiyama.
all you guys taking aboiut mw raning only know ufc and doint know shit about mma…
1 anderson
2 hector lombard
3 vitor
4 mark munoz
5 bisbitch
6 chael
7 brian stann
8 tim boutch
9okami
10 allen beture..( i dnt know how spell)
how is chael #6?
lol…
I AGREE 100% there jonesy.exept for beltcher.so agreeing 90%
Jonsey yours is a refreshing list .
well its fairly safe to say vitor would smash 5-10..,
WEIDMAN IS A CAN! Another “FITCH”.Doesnt even know how to fight,just to take down and avoid the fight.just a lucky boring ass win over MAIA.
VITOR was 3 when he fought ANDERSON just last year.Since then hes had two 1st round finishes.in devastating fashion.how the **** is he not in top 10????
Whoever made these rankings have NO CREDIBILITY.
VITOR would annihilate anyone on that list.exept for ANDERSON and maybe HECTOR LOMBARD.I think evenly matched.Not taking nothing from ANDERSON.The baddest SOB in the world,just thought that kick he caught VITOR was a lucky shot.VITOR was doing well before that but just got caught.Would love to see a rematch!
Terrible top 10. I think Alan Belcher should be up there. Okami shouldn’t be anywhere near the top 5. Vitor should be up there in the top 5.
Who made this top 10 anyways??!
The UFC is like the NFL of football. No CFL players are ranked in the “top 10 players” of football, it just doesn’t happen because the best players are where the money is. If they aren’t in the UFC, they shouldn’t be in the top 10.
Vitor KO’ed sexyama(downhill) and Johnson(shrinking fat ****) and he’s gonna fight Wandy(awesome but downhill as well) that’s why he’s not top 10, it’s not his fault he’s not getting top quality opponents AND MORE IMPORTANTLY Boetch KO’ED OKAMI SO WHY THE **** IS HE #3?
