    So, here's a list of Hendo's 5 best wins imo. Rank them in order and maybe explain why you see it that way

    Fedor Emeilianenko - TKO 1. Win against the GOAT HW former number 1

    Rafa Cavalcante - TKO 3 Becomes the 1st 3 weight world champion in a major Org

    Wanderlei Silver - TKO 3 Become the 1st, and only man to hold two belts in different weight classes at the same time, in any org.

    Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - Dec Spilit - Earns a decision against the future PRIDE HW Champ and ATG

    Murilo Bustamante - Decision Split. Wins Pride WW Final and becomes the WW Champion

    So how do you rank these. Any you think are better?

    And

    :deal

    You have to take sick excuses with a grain of salt because fighters and their camps have attempted to explain away losses since the days of bareknuckle and most of the time it's bull****. In my opinion he lost because he was clearly already on the downslide and Hendo was far better than the first time they met.

    By all accounts he should not have won the 1st Nog fight, but I haven't seen it so am not sure.

    Anyone care to elaborate as to how much kudos Hendo deserves for this win? Of course, winning the tournament itself was an impressive feat for a small guy.

    Hendo is nails :deal

    I think Dan did better in the 2nd fight as opposed the 1st, but judge for yourself

    He won the Rings tourney too, probably a better achievement considering the field that day, Big Nog, Babalu and Gilbert on the same nite IIRC

    And he also won the PRIDE WWGP too. Dudes done it all, except get a UFC strap

    Babalu, Renzo and Newton are all solid B-C level wins as well

    It's up there with the most important, but it's hard to call it the best given the last two rounds. Fedor or Wand would still be the best, given that they were definitive and brutal.

    If I had to rank a top 10 in order they'd be something like this

    Wandy 2
    Big Nog
    Fedor
    Rafa - For the belt, obviously one of the lesser Champs he's beaten
    Babalu 1 - 3rd fight of the night, wins the RINGS tourny
    Shogun
    Vitor
    Franklin
    Newton - For the UFC 17 title
    Ninja/Renzo/ Yvel/Bisping - take your pick

    Anyone agree or disagree?
