I'm mainly doing this cause I just don't know as much about MMA as most of you and I wouldn't even know where to start on this.
I mean I know the big ones, Fedor, Anderson, GSP, Nog, Henderson, those guys but I don't know enough to make out a top ten list. Like I've heard a lot about this Ulijah Faber guy but I'm not even sure if I've seen him fight.
So make a list.
Anderson Silva might be number One for me.
Ramapge would be on my list because of his sheer physicality and technical improvement.
Lidell is still there I guess.
Wanderlai, is there but slipping because of age.
CroCop is not even in my top 20 any more.
Man I dunno, I've never really thought about it all that much I guess.
BJ
St. Piere
Fedor
Anderson silva
Wanderlei silva

To be real quick about it, with more to come when I have more time:
Anderson Silva is probably P4P the best fighter in the world right now. He's beaten pretty much the best in the world in his weight class. But not just beaten. Beaten down to a pulp. He's got the skills to beat anybody in his division.
Fedor to me is still P4P champ in my heart, but like many others, I won't count him until he starts fighting again. He's had one serious match in the last couple years or so (hardly count an aging Mark Coleman...his win of Rua was a huge fluke).
George St. Pierre is a demon as well, and easily second my in p4p book, very close behind Silva. While he lost to a complete shlub, he'll avenge it soon and be back atop the division. I'd then expect him to hold that for quite some time. He outwrestled one of the "greatest" wrestlers the sport has seen with ease, despite coming from a karate (i believe) background. He was even thinking about making a run at the Canadian Olympic wrestling team (granted, he'd be lucky to be an alternate there, but still...) Serra just got his puncher's chance over him, but it won't happen again.
Rampage,Anderson,GSP if he beats Serra are all top contenders.Fedor needs to do more to retain number 1 spot(and I think he's awesome). Other names that should be there:
JZ Calvan-2 times K1 Heroes LW GP winner and ran through some tough tough guys. A mini Fedor imo,awesome fighter.
Shinya Aoki-Unbeaten for like 11 fights,beating tough guys,you just HAVE to see his gogoplata of Hansen(I think?)
Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto: Yamamoto has won 14 consecutive matches, including victories over Jeff Curran, Caol Uno, Genki Sudo and Rani Yahya.(copy and pasted that,could not have said it better plus he won the K1 grand prix running through guys too) JZ V HIM=WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOW
nOGUEIRA AND pENN shouldbe there too,that's 10 right?
I still love 'The Natural'
a P4P list would b a bit of a mess right now Fedor aint really fought anyone decent 4 a while,Im still not convinced by And Silva he's beat 2 Elite fighters but if u look at other P4P fighters they done a lot more.Dan Hendo was awsome jumping up n down in weight IMO he beat Rampage,but he's getting on,jumping up n down in weight cant b good 4 a bloke his age.Chucks lost 2 out of 3,Shoguns injured but lost his last,Randys semi retired,GSP's lost his last fight,Cro Cops lost 2 out of 3,Big Nog got dominated in his last n looked shot but stil won,Wands lost 3 out of his last 3 so.........:rolleyes:
1.Fedor 2.And Silva 3.Dan Hendo 4.GSP 5.Gomi 6.Shogun 7.Big Nog 8.Randy 9.Rampage 10.Bj Penn Taking everything into consideration,mostly going on talent thats my top 10 atm.
