    Pretty good lists, although Nick Diaz should obviously be on there.

    Yeah, I think Diaz should be on there, maybe not Fedor though. Cant see a case for it

    I agree, it just feels weird not seeing his name on the list.

    With he last two wins being against Daley and Penn, is it a legit reason for Diaz not being in the top 10?

    Browne won't be on the list for long Grave Digger is gonna smoke him this weekend. :hat

    BTW I'd have uncle creepy at No 1 @ Flyweight his last fight was a draw granted but for me he is still Top dog.

    I think McCall win over Jussiero as well is just enough to edge out Bena for me as it stands at the weight

    Bust Joe has only lost to Cruz iirc so, we'll have to wait until they fight to find out I guess. Cant wait

    condit is only there because he "beat" diaz. Besides what the **** has diego or rory macdonald done lately?
    nick was strikeforce champion on an 11 fight win streak, had stopped like 9 of his last 12 opponents and was coming off 2 THRASHINGS of daley and bj penn in a fight he was widely picked to lose. come on dude
