I can get behind that.
Kennedy is a prospect, but wins over Kang and Gouveia (mixed with a loss to Akiyama) outweigh a bad stoppage over Thompson and subbing Cummings. Not that I think that highly of Kang or Gouveia, but man, Tim Kennedy just ain’t top ten.

i do remember you saying belcher was a medicore fighter. now he is top ten? could have been his destruction of gouveia that changed your mind? still happy new year neil.

He’s not great, but he’s not bad either. I don’t think this is as much of an indication that Belcher is a tremendous fighter, as much as it is that the guy at #9 just isn’t really there yet. It’s one of those games of “one of these things is not like the others”, where everything is hunky-dorey except for one glaring omission.

I would love to hear an explanation for Tim Kennedy being ranked 9th.
