the true rankings

i’m all Shogun at no.1 he earned it against Machida…

if Rampage is going to be a victim to his inactivity/acting career i would be of the opinion that you should just drop him completely so for the time being. i believe its a great dis-service/injustice/insult to the man to have him ranked below Evans, Griffin (even though he lost that decision), Mousasi, Silva and Nogueira. my understanding is that the rankings show how good you are, and i find it very hard to believe that you pitch his talent at that level. just one man’s opinion though brother :)

good job !

I’ll be brave and say BOOOO @ these rankings

Shogun #1 = nope
Mousasi that high = nope
Rampage below all those other fighters = nope because according to inactivity Rich Franklin hasn’t fought officially at 205 since the Dan Henderson fight in which case Dan should be ranked above him

nonetheless these are subjective, so good stuff and happy thanksgiving I’m at the in laws so I don’t get to be on much
