    Interesting that Barnett is ahead of Sylvia, would be a decent match I think.

    I was very suprised to see these two in the top 10? I am not that impressed with Koscheck, and I have never been impressed with Diaz.
    9. Nick Diaz
    10. Josh Koscheck

    Mark Hunt may be a little low on the HW scale, but they forgot Eddie Sanchez all together!

    Might as well list the disagreements...

    I think Babalu is ranked a little high on that light heavyweight list... I also think that Shogun and Silva belong ahead of chuck...

    I don't think Rich Franklin belongs above Hollywood Henderson on the 185lb rankings he is about to fight Wandi for god sakes... A fight in which Franklin stands about as much chance as I do against Wandi...


    Sean Sherk getting no love at 155 is also a little surprising I don't think he belongs at #1 but higher than 10 certainly...

    And will someone please explain to me how Nick Diaz's name even made that list period at 170..

    In heavyweight I think #5 and #9 need to change places... Sylvia is way too high and Mark Hunt is too much of monster to be ranked that low

    Well I agree Sean is a great lightweight. He has one fight there however and you cant rank some one top 5 when they have 1 fight(esp 1 fight against kenflo). Sean could be top 5, I dont see him beating Gilbert, Kawjiri, Gomi. Give him time and he will climb up.

    True, but going the distance with Hughes at 170lbs should give everyone an idea as to what Sean's abilities are, it isn't as though he hasn't fought any big names.

    I agree, Hughes is his big name though. He fight Karo twice, once when karo was 16 then a year later. Sean is very good, I am simply saying you cant rank him off one fight against Kenflo. I believe he will be a top 5, 155 pound fighter. He just needs more fights at 155 pounds.

    Agreed I wasn't thinking about it as a weight class (which is what the article was about me<----- ) I think that he is a top 4 or 5 155 fighter he just hasn't proven it yet I guess.

    Yep, I agree 100%. A few more fights and he will be ranked. If Penn stays down at 155, however Sean will lose the belt. I like Sean to but Penn is incredible.

    As long as Penn can go the distance(cardio) he can beat Sean. If Penn can go the distance remains to be seen though............
