Sherdog's new HW (top 10 ranking)..

why do you say that just cuz he lost 2 mir? it seems like ppl are not giving mir the credit he deserves 4 being the 1st 2 EVER finish nog. Nog is not even close 2 being done

 

The UFC HW division in extremely weak right now, I don't know why they are having so much trouble bringing in quality fighters. Lesanr KOing Couture like he did was pathetic, the guy was like 3-1. They can't get Fedor, fine, there are a whole bunch of other guys they can pursue.

 

He's shot to ****.

The same guy who took head kicks from a prime Cro Cop and came back to win doesn't get knocked out by lead uppercuts from Frank Mir.

 

:think Havent you seen any of Nogs fights over in PRIDE?

 

I don't see how anyone could put Nogueir, Barnett, and Arlovski ahead of Couture.

Barnett lost to Cro Cop 7 months before Cro Cop was ko'd by Gonzaga. Couture defeated Gonzaga 4 months after Gonzaga defeated Cro Cop.

Nogueira defeated Tim Sylvia after being battered for 11 minutes. Couture dominated Sylvia less than a year prior to that fight.

Arlovski lost 2 out of 3 to Sylvia, again a fighter dominated by Couture.

Mir deserves to be ranked higher than Lesnar, because he got the victory of Lesnar. Couture still deserves a high ranking due to his most recent victories, and his performance against Lesnar. Couture gave Lesnar more of a fight than anyone else in Lesnar's short career. Mir was getting thrown around, and hammered; then caught Lesnar with a submission. Herring was simply dominated by Lesnar, after significant victory over Kongo. Couture was more than hanging tough when Lesnar caught him with a right hand.
