How is Andrei Arlovski rated above Tim Sylvia? Dan Henderson under Okami?

I agree, I don’t see why Arlovski is so high. I don’t think so highly of Calvancante to put him at #6 P4P either . . . but, it’s rankings, and no one will ever completely agree.

what about jardine above wanderlei… thats crazy talk. but i guess we’ll find out may 24th

Fedor Emelianenko is pound for pound the greatest fighter (regardless of his heavy stature) because he’s never been defeated …. *Sigh* fix please.

NO Marcus Davis in the 170lb rankings? Well after he knocks out Swick, you’ll have to rep him!

The lightweights is a stacked division, but I don’t understand why Shinya Aoki is not on the top 10 lightweight list.
