theres no way i'm putting Tito in my top ten even with beating my #6 it's his first significant win since UFC 59! Bader gets dropped and i'll probably replace him with Franklin as my #10

I dropped Bader from my top 10 list and replaced him with Stefan Bonnar. Bonnar has had some good wins recently.

Tito should fight the winner of Rich Franklin/Lil Nog or the loser of Shogun/Griffin II. If he beats that opponent, then definitely, he's back in the top 10

I would love to see that fight as well, and think Franklin would tool tito. Personally think it a very good match up for Franklin and not very good match up for Tito.

I would love to see Tito vs. Franklin or Little Nog. Give him the winner (hopefully Franklin because I would love to see Shogun vs. Nog!)

if gegard can learn some takedown defense, i'd love to see him fight hendo... also, what yall think about shogun vs lyoto 3 for contender spot? that sounds awesome!
maybe its just me, but the jon jones-evans fued feels like tito-liddell...i dont know all details, obviously, but doesnt it feel like jon jones ducked evans? not sayn he couldnt beat evans, but he mightve ducked him because of the dislike for each other...so he screwed evans out of title shot...anyone else feel this way?

I dont like that idea at all. Shogun won both fights and simply got robbed the first time around. Then came out and dominated Machida. I just don't think it makes sense. Machida would just get his but whooped again. Shogun showed he can play machida game just as good as Machida, but also can simply beat Machida down playing by just play his own agressive style.

Tito didn't make my top 10 either but he certainly dragged Bader out of it. Now Bader sits at 15 and Tito at 14. I know Bader holds a win over my #10 but that win was very narrow, as opposed to the decimation Bader felt at the hands of Ortiz. After Bader's loss to Ortiz he has no business in the top 10 anymore. It will take a damn good win to get him back there. Tito needs at least 1 more good win to return to the top ranks and it's unlikely he gets it at such a high level.

@ladylover.... Lorenz Larkin in the top 10... really.... I know he's an exciting new prospect but really.... who the hell has he beat.

How do you know how good Larkin's skills really are since he hasn't displayed them against top fighters. It's easy to look good against the mediocre fighters he's been facing. His "skill" which we have no way of assessing could look massively different against a solid opponent.

I completely agree, as great of a prospect Larkin is I can only look at him as that..a prospect. At least until he faces some tougher compeition.

lorenz larkin is where phil davis was a few fights ago...larkin needs to be tested by top talent before he makes top 10 lists.

Larkin is exciting, but agreed that he hasn't faced tough enough competition for us to see where he belongs. And the first round of his recent fight was a warning sign of how he might fare against better wrestlers. I'm curious to see if he can cut down to 185.

And I need to update my rankings and figure out where to put Tito and Bader...

lol you say that and you have davis #2(whos only good win is over a declining little nog), mousasi#6(who just barely got passed jardine), lawal #7(looooooooooooool), larkin #9(looooooooooooool)

You seem to really like unproven fighters. But do you really have Larkin over Machida, Rasha, Hendo, Forrest, and about 15 other 205ers that are ranked higher?

And youre going to tell people they arent good at analyzing fighters? Hahahaha
