Both were unfortunate and count as an 'L'

But Silva's L' was impressive. He was destroying Okami and actually managed to knock him out from guard.

Still an 'L' though.

Last I checked Fedor was winning the poll on the main page pretty easily.

i agree he probably is. but he needs to fight more to prove it

wait... Fedor has to prove that he's the best? Pretty sure he's already done that, you know after demolishing the former UFC heavyweight champion in 30 seconds who took Randy to decision.

Yup.

Alot of fedors opponents were very worthy maybe you just dont know who they are??

Fedor has fought heavies, and super-heavies. Therefore two weight classes "unofficially". Plus I'm pretty sure Fedor could make LHW if he really tried, and pretty much dominate even more than now.

Vera kinda looked like shit at hw, pretty much the reason i'm guessing? he dropped to lhw in the first place.
Randy lost twice at LHW before going up to HW and dominating Tim and Gonzaga.

Vera was like 8-2 at HW and has looked terrible at LHW.

Franklin has a better record at LHW than at MW.

Penn has a loss and a draw at LW and 2 losses at WW yet is undefeated at MW.

Henderson took the LHW champ to a close decision and lost in 2 rounds to the MW champ.


Going down in weight does not equal easier fights.

Franklin should be there as well. In five years his only losses are to the guy who's number one on the P4P list. Right now Rich is the most underrated guy in yhe sport.

Randy fought an injured Tim Sylvia and a good win against Gabe...

Vera fought the weaker eliment of the HW division and the minute they upped the opposition he lost, same at LHW

Hendo fights far better at 205 his success at MW in the past few years is patchy at best...
