Some major changes this month, as Fedor goes from 2 to 1, Silva goes from 1 to 2, Penn and GSP flip spots, and Nog moves into the top 5 at 5, knocking out Uriah Faber. TFK
It's HARD to Argue w/Fedor Being # 1 After the Way he WAXED Tim Sylvia... But Having Said that, it Almost Seems UNFAIR that Anderson Silva DROPS a Notch, After Scoring an IMPRESSIVE 1st Round KO @ a HIGHER Weight::...It's NOT like he Actually DID Anything to LOSE his Ranking... But Whatever...REED DEFERS to the MMA Knowledge of Most of Ya'll, so it's All Good... That's Why REED DIDN'T Vote this Particular Time... REED Would've Likely Voted Silva # 1 & Faber # 5...& REED was "Afraid" that his Vote Might NEGATIVELY Impact the Rankings... Strangely, GSP FINALLY Got Ranked HIGHER than BJ when REED DIDN'T Vote, even though REED has ALWAYS Ranked GSP # 3... REED:kidcool:
Voting Silva 1 and Faber 5 is not negatively impacting anything. If a bunch of people PM'd me with Ross Pointon as Number 1 and left Silva off the list completely, that would be different, but Silva at 1 and Faber at 5 is legit. I had it Silva, Fedor, Penn, GSP and Alvarez. TFK
I was going to damage your poll by voting for Kalib Starnes and creating a few new accounts with same vote. :stir:::
These are neck and neck in the PFP rankings IMO. They are both sooo damn dominant, it's hard to pick a winner. I agree that its hard to drop Silva a spot after such a dominating performance. But, I had to give it to Fedor though because he is turning up the competition again a bit, and because he has never stopped dominating. Anderson turned his down a little. After all, this is the reason why Fedor lost the #1 spot in the first place. For not fighting a top notch fighter. If he had beat a top 10 LHW rather than Irvin he would have kept that spot. I always saw it more of as Silva "keeping the spot warm" for Fedor, until he decided to get back to work. :)
Fedor is a beats that there is no doubt. But the fact that Silva is much more active he would be my #1
