Mousasi @ #6 is wacky…

Re: Mousasi

That’s just how the averages ended up computing when everyone else factored into the mix.

  1. Gegard Mousasi @ 6 he souldn’t even be in the top 10 if king mo isn’t after his defeat, just saying/

Welcome to MMA4Real!

Well, Mo lost to an unranked fighter. Mo was ranked when he beat Mousasi, so that softens the blow of Mousasi’s fall from the loss.

by Matt Bishop on Sep 1, 2010 3:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

Mo won't ranked then

not by me anyways…yall have Mousasi at #6…so where in the hell did he fall from? He ain’t beat anyone to get back in the rankings…

Matt's not thinking straight.

He’s probably a little shot out since 123 being in Detroit was confirmed.

Ryan Bader’s best win is Keith Jardine…

and Jardine

had only lost to top tier talent prior to Bader KTFO him…(minus the Alexander fight). Not to mention the 9 and 10 spots are almost always intechangable…but when you get into the top 6…well….it’s easier to make the point or not.

He had one more point than Jon Jones. He’s No. 6 by a hair.

How in the tinker’s fuck is Rashad #2? Or ranked above Machida at all for that matter? You best get yourself to a hospital asap Bishop because there is no freaking way you don’t have some kind of severe head trauma after posting that bullshit.

I must’ve missed where Lyoto beat one fighter in some top-10 rankings and then another in the consensus top-5 this year like Rashad has.

And these are composite rankings from myself, Forrest and Erich. So it’s not just me.

by Matt Bishop on Sep 1, 2010 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

Then all three of you are foolish

Forgetting the fact that Lyoto has only one loss in his career, to your #1 ranked LHW who he is 1-1 against, he has already fought Evans and totally destroyed him.

“You beat my ass but nitwits will still rank me above you so haha”

It's epic.

And not something Rashad should be all that ashamed of. It’s kind of humiliating to look at it, but the picture happened simply because he didn’t run away or try for a stall. He stood, back to the fence and slugged until his leg went all stanky. No shame in that.

What an answer?

Look at Matt’s picture. ’nuff said.

You know what's really fun? Not being a raving lunatic. Give it a try some time, you might just like it!

Aside from the generally panned ranking of Mousasi,

I like it. Flip Mousasi and Forrest and I wouldn’t complain.
