    @Rumsfeld don’t tally mine yet, give me a week or so to play around with it but I wanted to get a list out so I’d have a starting point. I’ll alert you when it’s final.

    EDIT: My thought on doing this at first was the 35 I most enjoy watching (and actually take time to watch) but there’s a bit of a mix of just guys I like but don’t really watch much — I honestly haven’t watched a lot of SRR in years (although I did previously) so that’s why he’d be low. I figure the most honest assessment of who I really like best is the fighters I watch most. I think there’s some West Coast guys who will make it when I reassess, and I thought of Mike Weaver after I finished. There will definitely be some rearranging.

    You’ve got an interesting perspective. I’d like to see your list. I hope you can find time, and that everything is OK my friend.

    Attempted this on my phone but got about as far as number 12 before I was trying to change the order. I think I’ll wait til I can get an excel spreadsheet on the go for this.
