7.If either Baroni or Horn is under contract one of them if not Ed Herman,say what you will I think he is under rated,and got robbed against Holt.

come on now man, try not to let that bias blind you too much. Tonights win does help him get back on track, but third best MW in UFC he is not. While I do agree with you that with those heavy hands his potential is unlimited. He has alot more to prove before you can consider him for 3rd, guys like Tanner and Crow have done a helluva lot more to be up there and even Swick (i know Leben beat Swick) but as far as post-TUF accomplishments i would say Swick has done quite a bit more then Leben. Anyway i hope Leben keeps improving, cause he could very well be a force in due time.

louiseau at 6?

how the fuck would Leben beat Louiseau? that little "take a shot, throw a shot" won't work when you're unconscious from that one shot, or your opponent throws 3 strikes before your first
Loiseau's a supremely talented striker, good kickboxing and vicious elbows.

there's a reason he beat the shit out of Tanner, and already got his shot with Ace, even though he lost

I don't think Swick has accomplished any more then Leben has,other then the fact that he hasn't lost since he hads been there...where this proof that he has improved so much? Lebens competition has been much better compared to Swick,Riggs aside.These Rankings are based more upon MY opinion of who is better,not actual standings right now.If someone rated Diego above Karo yesterday they would have bitched about it and this and that,but they'd be wrong wouldn't they? Leben has only been stopped once in his career.He has NEVER been submitted and only other loss was a razor thin decision that should have leaned his way.(One of the best fights I've ever seen.)I still think if Leben wouldn't have came out swinging off the bat with Silva and instead got in the clinch and drove his ass to the fence for a little foot stomping,body shots,inside uppercuts,leg punches then a takedown followed by ground and pound things would have been different.
