The Mac Says: i disagree just thought id share ill post mine tomorrow

[Swinny]

I disagree with most of these, especially Light Heavyweight, Middleweight and Welterweight. There's definitely some iffy ones in here.

[The Mac]

ya this is the tool from sportsnet's ranking's tomorrow The Mac's Rankings will be up

[Bazzinator]

for me sheilds has to be higher up then 6th.

dont think lesnar is number 2 should be 3 behind dos santos

bit surprised sotiropoulos isnt on there were he is on a 8 fight win streak with 7 of those in the UFC. maybe a bit biased but should be somewhere in the 10.

[Swinny]

Well... as far as heavyweight goes, I'm pretty okay with it, except I think Overeem should definitely be higher than Nogueira and I'm really not sure Nog even should have a place in the top 10 anymore.

Light heavyweight I have a lot of problems with, however. The first four I'm good with, I don't really agree with Forrest at five though, since he hasn't fought in over a year whereas Bader and Jones have been fighting, and winning, consistently. And... I hate to pick on the Nogueira's, lol, but Little Nog doesn't even belong in the top 10, let alone above Jones and Thiago Silva.

Now... middleweight, all I have to say is... why in the hell is Vitor Belfort at 7th? Below Maia and Henderson? I don't think so. Welterweight looks good, for the most part, but I wouldn't put Alves that high. Switch him and Shields maybe. Lightweight looks decent too, but after losing twice in a row to Frankie and moving to a different division, I would still have BJ in the top two.

[Travicity]

Some strong names up there some should be higher and think Cain should be lower.

[ClayMation]

Where the hell is Rich Franklin in these rankings? the man has like an 28-5 record, two of those to ANDERSON SILVA. He make Liddell look like a bitch in his last fight.

[The Mac]

lol clay ill post my rankings later...these were from a site lol

[ClayMation]

haha i know Mac...just annoyed that sportsnet snubbed Ace, thats all
