Marquardt Back in the Top 10 According to ESPN | MMA News
Nate Marquardt is the new Strikeforce Welterweight Champion. His knockout of Tyrone Woodley at Strikeforce 41 was brutal to say the least. Maybe it was the decisive finish, or maybe it’s being crowned the champion. Either way ESPN has put “The Great” back in its coveted top 10. Below is the complete list.
1 Georges St-Pierre 22-2-0
2 Carlos Condit 28-5-0
3 Nick Diaz 26-8-0
3 Johny Hendricks 13-1-0
5 Rory MacDonald 13-1-0
6 Martin Kampmann 20-5-0
7 Jake Ellenberger 27-6-0
7 Josh Koscheck 17-6-0
7 Nate Marquardt 32-10-2
10 Jon Fitch 23-4-1

So you didn’t just see him lose huh…this statement is rediculous
ESPN knows jack squat. They also have the Reds ranked as low as #4 in the MLB power rankings. What a joke.
how can you put one guy ahead of the other when you have diaz(looser) ahead of condit(winner)? thats whats wrong with rating fighters< they rate on wins and losses not the quality of oponents the've beat…….right nick? who the hell has he beat in the top 10? i know NOBODY!!!!! he's one of the most overrated fighters ever! he's never had a even decent record in UFC and is still in top for beating 2nd rated fighters, and now wants to fight silva????? give your head a shake dick i mean nick there's not a guy in top 10 you will ever beat!
nope just for hell of it put fitch ahead of marquardt lol
nope for hell of it put fitch ahead of marquardt lol
I just want Condit to beat GreaSP so I can see a Diaz/GreaSP superfight. Although I have a feeling that if GreaSP loses, he’ll be asking for an immediate rematch like EVERYONE else.
Nate could beat anyone on this list on any given night. He already beat the shit out of Kampmann to send him down to 170. Wouldn’t mind seeing Nate against anyone on this list. Bring him back!
Including Rory?! He got his ass handed to him in that fight.
dont think he meant nate diaz but the other nate lol
Nate “THE CHEAT Marquardt of of the biggest ROIDERS-CHEATERS to ever fight in cage. The man is a disgrace to MMA and should have been banned from the sport forever.
dream on
Kampmann at 6?? FFS these ESPN ranks are retarded.. Kampmann should be 3 then Macdonald then Hendricks then Diaz….
Nope, I’ve never taken these rankings seriously. You have 2 guys tied at third and 3 guys tied at seventh? Really?
If u want ufc stuff turn on fuel, football/ nfl network. Espn stay away from mma.
Why is Diaz even on the list if he is “retired”/suspended they need to really redo this list.
Anyone know what gracie said about the future of nick diaz yet, maybe its at 4 pm pt?
Diaz wants to fight anderson silva and hopes to be back by end of the year.
Who has Rory beaten on this list?
Carlos Condit has beaten Rory Macdonald. but only by decision tho..
@Zul
Condit beat Macdonald via tko
He TKO’d him seconds before it was about to go to a decision…
So my question is if Rory hasn’t defeated a top ten contender why is he ranked so high?
1 Georges St-Pierre 22-2-0….BUT CHEATED AGAINST BJ! and lost in first fight
3 Carlos Condit 28-5-0
2 Nick Diaz 26-8-0
4 Johny Hendricks 13-1-0
10 Rory MacDonald 13-1-0
5 Martin Kampmann 20-5-0
6 Jake Ellenberger 27-6-0
7 Josh Koscheck 17-6-0
8 Nate Marquardt 32-10-2
9 Jon Fitch 23-4-1
perfect
Cheated against BJ… its against the rules to hand someone an ass whooping these days?
you clowns need to grow up BJ got man handled and he is going to get man handled by rory too. he cant compete with a true 170lber he isnt that big or that “Talented” anymore
How can you put Diaz ahead of Condit? Last time i checked Condit beat him
No Way Fitch is that low, Hendricks gets a lucky punch in and somehow Fitch goes from 2nd to 10th???
Fitch would beat down Condit.
Nate would beat Koscheck too.
When is the last time Fitch won a fight? How many of these top 10 has Fitch beat? There you hav e your answer. Fitch’s entire boring ass career and ranking was from beating Alves who has no ground game
when was the last time fitch beat down anything?
If diaz is on this bullshit list, y is bj penn not?
They’ll put him back in that list once he smashes Rory.
When is the last time Fitch won a fight??
When was the last time GSP won a fight?
What was BJ’s last win?
I don’t see how they have Rory so high on the list. I still don’t think Diaz should be that high. Diaz hasn’t had to fight any wrestlers since he got back to the UFC. Last time he was in the UFC he had problems with wrestlers. I think Hendricks, Ellenberger, Koscheck, and even Fitch could beat him.
