I dunno I just have an odd outlook on the top tens of all the division's but there is another time for all of that bs Ya Lawler being 6th is perhaps a bit of a strecth, and ya Mousasi says that he did want to go all the way up to HW, ineresting to see how that will workout for him… I dunno I just have an odd outlook on the top tens of all the division’s but there is another time for all of that bs

I guess so he can lose to Fedor too). I guess I can go with your top 10 there....but I'm not sure about Lawler... I mean I guess he's better than the guys below him, but I kind of think he's a bit overrated... I'm sure we'll get a better idea of that though once he faces off against Cung Le or Frank Shamrock over in Strikeforce.

Anderson Silva
Gegard Mousasi (tho he is moving up to LHW)
Nate Marquardt
Jorge Santiago
Dan Henderson
Robbie Lawler
Demian Maia
Thales Leites
Yushin Okami
*note*
I could easily have Rich Franklin in the top 4 but he is staying up in the LHW division (except for the catch weight match v Wanderlei) I also believe that my #8 Thales Leites is getting the shot due to the fact that Silva has beaten Nate,Hendo already and that Yushin just hasn’t been top notch as of late plus the broken hand thingy imo you could throw Ronaldo Souza and Kazuo Misaki and Cung Le somewhere in the world wide MW top ten but especially with Cung not fighting for quite sometime I don’t think he can be considered in the top ten rightnow
Akiyama

I also believe if he were to find himself in a top notch camp and put for the effort to learning true ground work he could be really dangerous.. Remember guys you don't have to be a BJJ blackbelt to be good on the ground, learning how to survive and use basic switches is the key forsure, we all know he has hand power but if he trained everyday in Jiu Jitsu for a bit he could be extremely better on the ground and give himself a better chance of success in the UFC.. Easy to say but hard to do being a single father raising his 4 kids, I hope he comes on top in this fight..

I can't wait. Irving vs Mcfredries is going to be awesome and my boy houston is finally fighting again. This is a sick card dude. Don't really care about okami's fight. Sherk vs edgar, battle of who can lay on top for the longest. Dude i have been waiting for hughes vs serra for hella long. I can’t wait.

Half the time when a guy grabs the fence to avoid a slam, if they didn't grab it, it may well be a fight ending SLAM! Boss

I like what big-evil said that maia looks like the guy who can beat silva, and might submit him. I think maia is clearly the number two guy at 185 based on bjj and sub skills. he has methodically picked apart his opponents and pounced at their mistakes with sick subs. that traingle at 95 was awesome. yes nate the great and hendo are good but they had their shot at the title, let maia make silva tap. he will do it if they ever fight. I would love to see that match. or if some believe maia isnt ready have him fight nate or the winner of hendo-bisping for number 1 contender. then watch maia submit those guys with more insane bjj. maia and machida are very deserving of title shots in my opinion based on their skills and should be able to become champs if they get a shot at their respective weights, as well as making long title defenses if and when they get to be champs.
