    SO its come to this time already lol


    Where do you rate Lyoto P4P on the worlds MMA stage?



    For the past 3 years at least my top 5 has been the same......



    1. Fedor
    2. Anderson
    3. GSP
    4. Penn/Machida (tied)


    If Penn gets beaten by Florian (which is a serious possibility) then he moves down and Lyoto gets outright 4th

    Lyoto's not even lost ONE single round since coming to the UFC. He's been a genius waiting to be appreciated, and now it's is time


    Massive respect > Lyoto Machida

    Good list. I agree except I would give #4 all to Machida.

    I'd have to say Fedor #1, Machida #2, GSP #3 and then A. Silva #4.

    What has Silva done lately? Who has he beat?

    Machida does have the "W" over BJ Penn.

    Sugarngold - Lyoto severly outweighed Penn when he beat him (215 - 187) so that has no bearing on anything

    Nuke - interesting you have Machida so high! I hear what youre saying about Anderson. The guy seems to be incredibly frustrated cause hes constantly being matched up with guys who dont stand a chance against him - but then again who does?
    Machida does, but he wont fight him.
    Who then is there who could seriously stand a chance of beating the guy?
    GSP has been consistently awesome - he deserves to be ahead of Machida - at least for just now


    But Lyoto has been a phenomenon waiting to explode - his time has come :hat

    i rate GSP at the 2nd spot.....
    so Machida is either in 3rd or 4rth position. (with Anderson)...

    Penn is numero # 5

    I can put GSP over Machida I don't have a problem with that, my point about putting him so high was he is undefeated thats all. but #2 or #3 isn't a big difference.

    That would be my list too.... but expect to make room all the way to the no2 spot if Shogun is finally back to his best.

    Silva is fighting forrest next. If he beats him could we have a super fight with machida-anderson silva:think? I know they are sparring partner but they are two of the best right now and i would love to see this fight.
