I was watching some old Liddell/Tito videos last night and when Frank was champion Liddell and Ortiz were both fighting at 199lbs so I think the middleweight division capped off at 200lbs back then. I assume they realigned the weight divisions when Zuffa took over. This is just a hunch though so I could be wrong.

Yes Frank is the best Middleweight in UFC history, but it wont be long before A. Silva outranks him.. Frank can still keep this title IF HE WOULD FIGHT MORE but instead hes being what I believe is the smartest man in MMA right now by sittin back, smokin cigars, and talkin trash.. its good marketing but the guys gotta fight! he is 33 years old, we may not of seen the best that Frank can be yet.. im mad that Baroni dropped out but hell replace Baroni with Renzo and lets go.

Frank Should go to Pride. They pay more than UFC and that would really test his skills. I don't see Pride turning him down. I would love to see him fight Saku.

Frank isn't the best middleweight ever because of his retirement and lack of fights.
But he may have the most pure talent out of any middleweight ever.

Could have been the best mw ever, but he wasted too much time.

i say yes, he is the best mw of all time because of what he has proven. its not like he is retired or anything because he is still fighting. but i can see you guys' points, he has not done anything huge since pulling out of the ufc. i wished he and dana white would settle their dispute and get him a contract. or at least go to pride, the money is better there anyway.
