He's on his second surgery?
That’s not good. If this one doesn’t stick, I don’t know how likely it is that we’ll see him fighting again, at least in a regulated state.

I don't know where he saw this list that said he was a top 5 fighter and was in the top few fighters in the UFC.
Andy is #1 and Chael’s steroid taking self was #2 but prob dropped a bit. Vitor is #2 now then Nate, Yushin, Maia, Wandy… maybe even Hendo, Bisping, Akiyama and Leben are ahead of Belcher. Barely top 10 if he’s even that world wide. The way he beat Cote was dirty and he’s the only guy on earth who thinks he cuold “pick apart” Anderson Silva. LMAO
Lesnar isn't the most skilled fighter but until somebody beats him he is the #1 HW in the world. It's obviously not Fedor and sure as hell isn't Werdum!
An injured Anderson Silva managed to finish a cheating Sonnen who failed his drug test but GSP can't finish a natural WW who isn't a dinosaur and won't take a fight at an above weight class. Let's not kid ourselves about who the real P4P king is!
Dirty?
I assume you are referring to the faceplant. It was completely legal. Do you call other fighters who let their vicious elbows dance around the “safe zone” of the skull dirty? He beat Belcher, fair and square.
Silva
Sonnen
Nate
Okami
Leben
Belcher
Belcher is sixth at worst on my list. Hendo doesn’t want to fight at 185 anymore and Vitor’s wins at 185 are are Terry Martin and Matt Lindland, both more than one year ago. But this is all contingent on Belcher returning successfully after his procedures.

That’s how most would see it if you look at their last few fights. That’s just in the UFC. I’d put Mayhem and Shields ahead of Belcher too not even putting him in the top 10. That’s just my list but I can back up my argument just how I showed why Vitor, Wandy and Bisping are ahead of Belcher. :)

Would actually drop Okami down some cause beating Mark Muñoz doesn’t impress me much.

I love how you're so fast to roast Sonnen
But you completely ignore Vitor and Leben both testing for ‘roids. This post just just MAD lulz, top to bottom, including the idea that Belcher fought “dirty”. News flash: when it’s allowed in the rules, it’s not dirty. Do yourself a favor and let that one go.

It was legal but border line cause people were confused including Cote himself who looked at the ref which got him caught in the RNC in the first place. Beating a rusty Cote doesn’t really put you at #6. Hendo does want to fight at LHW but his last fight was at MW so until enough time has past he would still be ranked ahead of him. Vitor fought at 195 KOing Franklin who was the 185 champ so I’d give him credit for being near the top there.
Did he JUST get caught? I said I still put him above Belcher so I don’t know where you claim I’m a hater. Plus hasn’t Leben and Vitor won matches since then? This is a CURRENT top 10 list after all, NEW FLASH! lol I like how you thought to yourself… oh I showed him when you didn’t. lol
Either way I don’t know why you’ll are so quick to stand up for Belcher. He blows his own horn enough, even boosts himself up higher on the ranking then anyone else would.

Anthony, how is Leben ahead of Belcher for beating Sexyama when belcher lost to him but Bisping isn’t there for beating Leben and Wandy and Hendo aren’t there for beating Bisping? Who has Belcher beat besides a rusty Cote? Seriously

Who would that be, exactly? If “all of us” means ONE guy, then by all means go bananas, but man you’re taking this way too damn seriously. Cote was confused? Yeah, I’d be confused if someone slammed me on my face too. Also, the notion that Wanderlei would be #5 is pretty laughable, considering he has ONE win at 185 in at least five years.
Please don’t misunderstand that I’m sticking up for Belcher, because he’s probably top ten, but not top five; I’m just pointing out that your raving arguments are super flawed.
