Heres the part I don't get...... Machida gets KO'd in 30 seconds by Shogun, and goes down to #2 in the rankings.
Carwin beats Brocks ass for all the first round, gasses and gets submitted.... and drops down to #6?
Opinions anybody? I'm thinking that Carwin put in a much better showing than Machida........
Carwin looked like a turtle on his back
People might be thinking his ground game could be suspect...wouldn't be suprised if Machida gets gun shy.Quote:

True..... But thats after Brock looked like a turtle trying to pull his head back in his shell while backpeddling/running for the whole first round.Quote:
Originally Posted by UkrainianGuy

Cog.... Good point about machida getting gun shy... Lot of guys are never the same after getting Ko'd hard..... specially guys like Machida that fight defence first and don't like getting hit......
Have a good weekend guys.
Guess we will be seeing a revision shortly in the heavyweight class.
cain brock werdum fedor jds.
probably.

Brock doesn't like getting hit, thats 2 fights in a row now that he's literally turned his back and ran when he got hit.
IMHO thats the end of Brock Lesnar in MMA. Not many fighters can get beaten down like that and come back the same..... IMHO Brocks achilles has been exposed... If Brock can't take a guy down, he's ****ed.
Brock was supposedly the far superior wrestler too..... He couldn't take Carwin down, couldn't take Couture down, and Cain actually took him down.... And got back up.
I'm fukin lovin it lol...... Anybody still actually think Brock is superoir to Fedor?
Sherdog ranking came out just like I said.
1. cain 2. brock 3. werdum 4. fedor 5. jds.
What a joke - Lesnar at #2.
edit: Also Hardy above Nick Diaz. wtf

I guess lesnar at #2 would be legit IF he was the #1 guy before losing to Cain.
Thats a ****in big if though....... Guys like what, 6-1? Guy with 7 fights the #1 in the world? Even after Carwin exposed him big time ( and Carwin drops to # 7?).
Oh well, looks like ol Brock's headed back to WWE anyways.......

BJ Penn not listed.
Shouldn't lightweight be 155?
also, bj should still be ranked.
The rankings are a joke, money and politics is all they are.Quote:

IMHO Overeem should be higher than 7 too...... He ****in destroyed Rogers, threw him around like a bitch. I'd really like to see him in the UFC or against Fedor, guys a wrecking ball.
I would like to believe Overeem could pass a real drug test.:)But too bad,neither Fedor or the UFC fighters are ever likely to meet him.Quote:

Plus, he's always trying to fight Fedor or Werdum in US, so he's not afraid of drug testing in US.
edit: He weighed in at 120.9kg or 266lbs in his documentary (right before the K1 final)
So, he's still smaller than Carwin or Lesnar. Both of them have to cut about 10lbs to make 265. And they test clean.
Basically, I can't wait to see him fight anyone in mma. :)
Overeem fought at 205 once upon a time,didn't he?Fedor's manager says Overeem is a steroid monster or something to that effect,which is why Fedor won't meet him.The passport deal that the British cyclists have adopted really is the only answer,I believe it creates a profile with history.A German doctor first proposed this more than twenty years ago,he's mentioned in one of DiPasquale's books,but nobody wanted any part of real drug testing.Russian roulette at the moment.Quote:

I really get a big kick out of how many guys will vehemently defend Manny, and try to claim his innocence by promoting thats he's never failed a test.... a urine test post fight lol...... The ****ing guy turned pro at about 105, now he's chasing down and beating down guys @ 150 +.....
MMA Top 10 Rankings: Jim Miller Working His Way Up At 155
The latest MMAWeekly.com World MMA Rankings were released on Wednesday, December 15. This system ranks the Top 10 MMA fighters from all across the world in each of the seven most widely accepted weight classes.

I'm kind of wondering why Jon Jones isn't seeing more action.I think he might be actually right near the top,and we should be seeing this happen quick.
Think he's got a fight with Ryan Bader next, that should be a better step up..... Think Baders still undefeated too..... I think Jones is still a kid ( like early 20s ) so Dana is bringing him along slowly, knows he could be the future.Quote:

Interesting- Machida is #4 but Dana is saying he's in a must win situation against Couture.
Overeem's still #6.
Belfort isn't even top 10..... I didn't really think beating up on poor old Rich Franklin deserved a title shot anyways..... Franklin is completely shot......
Ever since Silva hammered him..Quote:
