Glad to see Joe Riggs on there. He is a good fighter that has had bad luck. I think as he gets older and more experieced he will be a real force in MMA. I like watching Nick Diaz fight but how is he top ten material???

i think that some of those are bullshit Dan Henderson would tear rich franklin apart he is the best middle weight in the world. And Matt Linland should be higher. and where Jens Pulver. and i think that shogun would beat Wanderlei Silva.

Dan just lost to misaki and I do agree he would beat rich but not tear him apart. Lindland last competed at 205 which is why he is ranked so low at 185 he is top three and should be number 1. Sudo should not be on the list but makes it cause he is a fan favorite. Pulver should be between 8-10, ishida should be higher along. Kidd is great but needs to beat higher comp best win is Genki. Mayhem should be 5-7 at 185. Horn bottom between 9-10 anderson silva much lower then 2. 170 joe riggs does not belong there carlos condit should be there instead. Overeem off the list at 205 to inconsentent. just something I would change
