How do you rank Babalu
This isn't just another Rank Babalu thread... I'm just curious as to how people would rank babalu NOW in the top 205ers in the world and how they would rank him if he beat Chuck in august. gimme your thoughts.

He's up there, he's beaten some of the TOP fighters in MMA, anyone that van be Shogun is a bad ass IMO...... Chuck GOT LUCKY in their 1st fight with that big knee.... i dont think it'll happen again....

Chuck goes the floor with Sobral and its OVER, Sobral by submission, Chuck better PRAY for another LUCKY knee or shot, if he wants to keep his title to LOSE it to Wanderlei

Yeah gotta agree with that. Babalu's best win to date is a decison over Jeremy Horn. People just rank him high because he beat Shogun but ranking Babalu high for beating Shogun is like ranking Dennis Hallman high for beating Matt Hughes. Babalu's a great fighter but he needs wins over top guys. If he beats Chuck he'd have that win.

That fight was back in 2003. Should I be ranking Rampage over Chuck just because Quinton demolished him in that same year?

Use your head man.
