    No, it's a general point and non-thread worthy one at that.

    Yes i do.
    Usually the prelims are pretty good or at least decent but i usually fall asleep during the main card prolly due to alcohol/weed and usually being up working since 8 AM the day before.
    If the main card is boring i usually end up sleeping unless there is a fight i really want to see

    Oh okay. Apparently, you think you can just come here and post your general MMA thoughts that are unworthy of their own thread.

    The ****ing nerve of some people.

    Matt Hughes to me. Big nog has more longevity but I feel Hughes was better.

    I think Nog was in the much deeper division but Hughes has the better top wins. Toughy...

    I think Nogueira's depth is gonna do it for me.

    Yeah, Nogueira it is. The closer you look, the more obvious it is.

    Nog's wins over Mark Coleman, Heath Herring, Dan Henderson, Cro Cop, Werdum, Josh Barnett, Randy Couture, Tim Sylvia, Ricco Rodriguez -- compared to Hughes' Carlos Newton, Sakurai, Sherk, St. Pierre, Penn.

    Hughes' championship reign is nice but look at Nog's depth:

    Jeremy Horn
    Valentijn Overeem
    Sanae Kikuta
    Semmy Schilt
    Sergei Kharitonov
    Goodridge
    Sapp (****ing inspirational)
    And then Dave Herman and Schaub, both from a whole complete different generation of MMA.

    Okay so help me with this.

    Are Dan Henderson, Shogun Rua, Wanderlei Silva, B.J. Penn, and the alformentioned Nogueira all clearly above Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, and Hughes?

    As in... (I'm gonna steal McGrain's Tier system a bit)

    Tier 1
    Georges St. Pierre
    Anderson Silva
    Fedor Emelianenko

    Tier 2
    Dan Henderson
    Wanderlei Silva
    Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
    Mauricio Rua
    B.J. Penn

    Tier 3
    Chuck Liddell
    Randy Couture
    Matt Hughes



    How's that look? Am I giving Penn too much credit?

    In my eyes Fedor is tier 2 and yes you are giving Penn to much credit.

    Agreed with poster above. You are giving Penn too much credit as well as wanderlei. Put Hughes in tier 2 and Wand and Bj in Tier 3.
