I don't see Kos being under Alves. Alves KO'd a declining Hughes and failed to make weight at that. Kos might not be the most exciting but I have him ahead of Alves

Blah as soon as I read that you put Liddell over Rampage, I stopped reading it. Rampage knocked out liddell in the first round, defended his strap against hendo and lost a close decision to forrest.
Liddell on the other hand is 1-2 in his last 3 fights. The two he lost weren't close. Rampage ko'ed him and jardine clearly won the fight.

So based on that parameter of the rankings I can see why he is on the list. But having Chuck above Rampage is mind boggeling. Unless of course he thinks that Rampage will never fight again of course?

5. Stevenson | i honestly think cain and carwin are top 5, even though they arnt ranked there yet [for obvious reasons]. lesnar is a big wildcard too, i cant wait to see him fight herring.
for lhw, i still dont see griffin being in the top 5. im not hatin and i know he beat the top 2 guys. i just think eventually hes gonna topple back into mid range 205r where he belongs, IMO!!!. I'd add shogun to that list.
mw: anderson, hendo, franklin, marqduart, okami IMO. i love cote but i dont think hes top 5.
WW: Gsp, kos, fitch, sanchez, alves. at this point i think they deserve to be there. but my wildcard for 170 is swick, i think he can possibly crack top 5.
lw: not gonna rank but ill just say im lookin forward to see where these fighters are ranked in the next year. penn, sherk, griffin, huerta, florian, edgar, maynard, neer, diaz, stevenson, pellegrino.

I guarantee if he beats Herring, people will be ranking him top 5 somehow.
The thing with Griffin is that since he did beat the top 2, and is the UFC champ he HAS to be number 1. Even if he topples back to mid range, then so be it but right now he is on top and deserving of number 1.
I dont think Cote is top 5 either based on skill, but since he's going to be fighting for the title I guess he should be.
