[LaX Jess]

I decided to say fuck it and be a little bias in these rankings. I'm so tired of a UFC unknown beating a guy UFC had in the top ten then added them. I put Arona back in my list despite inactivity because let's face itr, he'd kick the shit out of guys like Keith Jardine and Rashad Evans. A notable admission is Rich Franklin at 185. Im sorry, but look at who he's beaten. Nobody credible. Fuck the assholes that have him ranked number two.

[Punisher]

No Lesnar in the heavy? Especially after you ranked Couture #4? Perhaps I am under the wrong impression, but based on your earlier comments I thought that you favored Lesnar in that matchup.

Am I wrong?

I'm not saying he is worthy to be included in the Top 10, because there is plenty of conjecture both ways, I would just like your thoughts on your reasoning.

[LaX Jess]

I don't rank fighters on who I think is better. I have Couture at 4 mainly because he beat Sylvia. Lesnar has two wins total.

Take Forrest Griffin at number 1. I don't think he beat Rampage nor do I think he's as good as most of the top ten, but since it's in the books that he won, I ranked #1.
