|  Alistaire Overeem
Can somebody fill me in. Why is Overeen ranked top 10? Looking on MMARANKS.COM, he hasnt beaten anyone listed in their top 20, yet he is ranked 10th on this site.

He probably barely made the list but he is not a bad fighter. At one point, I thought he was fighting in every Pride event and he is a respectable fighter. He gave chuck all he could handle until he gassed.

He should make the top 10 at #9 or #10 in my book but who did you think should be in his place?

He beat Sergei Kharitonov, Vitor Belfort, and Igor Vovchanchyn, thats not a very bad resume. He seems to be ranked above the people he should be ranked above because he's fought and beaten stiffer compitition.

If you have never seen it, they point out wins/losses against other ranked fighters, and they all fall in line acordingly. Then you get guys like Overeem, and Bisping popping up, mid pack, with no wins or in Bispings case, wins or losses against any of the other ranked fighters.

Jeremy Horn is number 20 lol. I'm glad to see others feel he's a bum like i do.

There are not 10 LHWs that are better then Overeem though in no order your top 10 includes
Liddell, Rua, Silva, Arona, Nogs, Rampage, Babalu, Nakamura, Overeem, and Ortiz.. who else would rank over any of these fighters?
Horn is overrated and not on Overeems level, Forrest definently isnt.

Or am I missing something?
