Forrest Griffin has not done anything impressive since his victory over Rampage, that is why he does not belong at all in this list. And BTW his win over Rua was way less impressive than Jones´s.
As for Jones, it does not matter if it is the reach or the weigh that gives advantage, fact is that he has dominated everybody in brutal fashion, he made look an amazing fighter (Shogun) like a limited rookie. What else he has to do to be in this list?

And Sakara, instead of posting silly gifs, why dont you make your list?

My lists are pretty much already posted and stickied into the main forum page. I'm one of the committee members who voted on our rankings. And this scares me...

Because if you believe that, then you should stick to making top 10 lists and stay far far away from P4P lists.

Well I dont see any P4P rankings in the main forum page.

Well shit on a stick. I thought we did P4P rankings...well we did all the weight classes but no P4P rankings. And at the end of the day, they are all so interchangeable it's kind of pointless. Even the first two (GSP and Anderson) can be flip flopped back and forth like nothing. 3-10 can all be switched around and moved around.

Yahoo! Sports pound-for-pound rankings: Jones now No. 4, "Shogun" leaves top 10 | MMAjunkie.com

Another P4P list to get everyone all worked up again, this time it is from the high quality Yahoo Sports:

The full rankings and points total this month include:

1. Anderson Silva 211 (14 first-place votes)
2. Georges St. Pierre 205 (8 first-place votes)
3. Jose Aldo 166
4. Jon Jones 138
5. Frankie Edgar 120
6. Dominick Cruz 106
7. Cain Velasquez 70
8. Jake Shields 65
9. Jon Fitch 43
10. Gray Maynard 27

More or less the same old names as the ESPN list just in a slightly different order for the bottom 5-10. Interesting how Gray Maynard keeps appearing on these lists.. although one can clearly see its a UFC circle jerk.

Forest Griffin beat SHogun, then went on to beat Rampage for the title. Thats more then Jones has done.

Im sorry, but having a 10'' reach advantage an being around 20-30lbs heavier then your opponent doesnt make you one of the best fighters in the world. Jake Shields p4p best,why? Because he fights guys bigger then himself, wins,and usually stops them. Id put Gegard and Minowa on the list before Jones.
