You're an idiot. Hughes, GSP, Penn, Diego, and Karo would kick his ass. Fitch, Koscheck, and Burkman would probably do the same.

I'd actually like to see Diego vs. Aoki. Diego is slick as hell and Aoki is a sub king, it would be fun to see.

I agree totaly.

The funniest thing is Musclehammer hasn't watched any of Aoki's fights other than the one he had with Black. he had no clue who he was until recently. Aoki is not the best WW in the world, he knows it, and everyone that isn't fucking idiot does as well. Save the TUF jokes, the only TUFer here is you.

The thing is Aoki would be too small for UFC's WW. Hughes, St-Pierre, Sanchez, Parysian would all maul him. And at a lower weight, let's say 160-167, BJ Penn and Sean Sherk would also beat him. I think the guy has great potential, but right now, you can maybe rank him at the bottom of Top 10 WW, but even that is a stretch.

I'm gonna have to agree with the majority here. The big 3 in the UFC WW division have so much experience against top level fighters, I don't think Aoki would stand much of a chance. He needs sometime before he can roll with those guys, and even then, he's too small. We all think Karo, Fitch, and Diego have bright futures, but most people here agree that Penn, GSP, and Hughes are exponentially better than even them.

Ohh....how wrong you are my little imbecile. But don't worry we all will get to see more than enough of Aoki in the future to confirm what I have said. He is very young, so he is only going to get better and stronger. Its almost scary to think just how good this guy will be.

I've seen recent pictures of Aoki at 170+ and he was cut to shreads. Size would not be an issue for Aoki as a WW....especially since he is very young and will only get stronger as he grows into his physique.

....believe this was his Pride photo before he cut down to 160lbs.....sure you all seen the recent one.

Aoki with a few months lifting weight to be a real WW would tap the whole WW top ten!!!
