Hes takin some tough licks recently,and hasn't showed the same fire he has in the past,but I agree.Pedro was world class heavyweight at one point,and in my opinion was the UFC champ after Couture/Rizzo one.Stupid judges."those judges should have been shot" -Joe Rogan

Pedro has wins over many former champions, I think he's shot now but in his prime he was one of the best strikers in MMA.

Pedro could retire today and still have been one of the best. Definitely one of the toughest too.

Based strictly on the fact that Rizzo KTFO of Barnett he deserves respect. He's just past his prime or something don't really know what the problem is w/ Rizzo.

Pedro Rizzo is the man!

I will be the first to give Pedro props on some of his fights

It's not that he doesn't get respect, he's just not such a hot topic on the MMA scene today. He has done a lot in the sport a long time ago, but Arlovski is actually active and competitive.

Arlovski's big win, Sylvia, is better than a lotta people on that list: Tank, Telligman, Kohsaka, Severn, Ricco hasn't been too hot lately, and he's definitely ranked over Coleman right now. Barnett's an excellent win and Coleman is too but it was a long time ago. Pedro hasn't done that much in recent years while Arlovski has been dominating the UFC scene at least until Sylvia.

Plus from a basic skill standpoint, I think Sylvia would knock out Rizzo and Arlovski could too.
