    Rampage forever
    Randy until death
    Cung Le until Pandorum
    Brock until Cain
    Arlovski until Fedor

    I hope I took this list correctly based on my personal favorites not the overall best fighters??

    In NO Particular Order...

    1. Jon "Bones" Jones
    2. Georges St. Pierre
    3. Anderson Silva
    4. Nate Diaz
    5. Brock Lesnar


    Honorable Mention: Marcus Hicks, Joe Christopher, Ben Saunders, Johnathon Brookins...REED Also Likes Rampage, but More for his PERSONALITY than for Anything he's Actually Done IN a Fight...Dude is Tooooooo INCONSISTENT for REED to like him as a Fighter...

    Not Sure what it MEANS, but it was Admittedly EASIER for REED to Compile a "Favorite MMA Fighters" List than it was for him to Do Likewise for Boxing....

    Good call on Genki. It's amazing how many fans today have never seen one of his crazy ring entrances.

    I used to like Crocop but I find him so annoying lately. It's like he doesn't give a fuck to train/win whatever and keeps saying how his mind isn't in it anymore and all this and all that and the mir fiasco. I'm just fed up with his act. Retire already.

    I like REED's list of honerable mentions

    So I have to throw in my local boys Lyle "Fancypants" Beerbohm, Cody Mckenzie, Landon "The Show" Showalter, Chris Leben, and I would be lying if I said I don't root for Nick Diaz everytime.:cheer:

    I like Penn more at 170 than 155. I'd like to see him stay there.

    Gotcha and I agree.

    And the truth is, he can hold his own there. I think the longer he stays at that weight, the more effective he will be.

    To fight to a draw with Jon Fitch means you're doing OK at 170.
