The first four are Fedor, Silva, GSP, Penn, I dont care of their order.. But who is the fifth? My choice is Forrest Griffin. (Faber or Torres have a shot too)
Not Griffin. He just doesn't have the ability IMO to stay on top. I'll say either Nogueira, Faber, or one of the top guys from the LW Grand Prix, though it's hard to place them in order.
I personally think it should go to one of the little guys Faber or Torres. Its about time that they get recognition. They both are seriously talented blokes and both have beaten their last couple of opponents in dominant fashion (mostly).
Id go with Faber he proved vs Pulver he has good boxing very quick combos. Great wrestling and sick innovative BJJ I mean damn he submitted Jeff Curran thats a big deal IMO. Plus hes in great cardio shape Faber-Pulver was a war and Faber looked fine afterwards just real quick and explosive its hard to see how he loses at 145 unless Tyson Griffin could make 145.
I suppose the only real good options are Nog,Torres,Faber. Henderson,Liddell,Rampage,Griffin,Couture arent bad but theres good reasons for each including Griffin why they dont make the top 5.
p4p is really for the little guys, so its Faber. Nog is a very flawed (ableit great) fighter even when considered solely as a heaveyweight. There are quite a lot of guys with better p4p skillsets.
I have to agree with this. The main reason for Fedor being "the man" is because he defeated Nogueira. He looks like he is past it at this point, but he's still winning.
Faber looked amazing against Pulver, but Pulver has looked a little old recently. The loss to TG was a long time ago, so I'll go with him. Torres though...looks damned good.
