OK OK, I'll be the asshole to do it

Where to begin?
I am assuming you saw the rankings on the main page:

A) These rankings are from January 26, 2008 (they've changed alot since then)
B) Is this really the best place for this post?
C) Frank Mir, when stacked against the rest of the HW on that list might not even be top 15. Mir is 3-2 since his injury, and has not beaten anyone considered a top 20 talent. He was seconds from being stopped in his last bout. Talent alone does not get you ranked.
D) at #9 HW, that is about as low as I have ever seen CroCop in any rankings so good luck with "you've got him too high" argument there
E) Thiago Silva might have been #11, but I have no argument with the list that is compiled
F) Lyoto Machida? How can an undefeated fighter be considered overrated. Its not like he hasn't fought top comp. He has wins (at the time of this ranking) over Franklin, Penn, Bonnar, Sokodjou, Nakamura, Heath, V. White. He might vulnerable on his back, but the statement deserves no creadence.

Welcome to MMA News.

Maybe the staff will update the rankings on the main page, but I would expect to be disappointed once again because they will still not have Mir in the top 10, and Machida is likely to go from #8 to #2 or #3.
