So the UFC HW champ is overrated? He always faces the top competition and the only person he has never beat is Fedor. I'm not sure how that qualifies as overrated.

i agree, gomi is the shot but not number 1 but def top 5 easily, gz is number 1 for me

I'm still not convinced about Jardine, but beating Chuck and Forrest puts him in the LHW top five. He is good, but I'm not convinced he's great.

Nog isn't the HW champ he's the interim champ.

JZ or Penn. I'd love to see that fight. I'd favor Penn based on the competition he's fought and beaten. I think Melendez is on the verge of possibly becoming something special. Sherk is a tough matchup stylistically for anyone. The guy has never lost at 155. Gomi is for sure in the mix, but no way could I put him #1.

Agree with this list for the most part except for NOG. WTF? How is he over rated? The only guy with a win over him he hasn't avenged is Fedor. How is Nog not a top 5 HW in your opinion? He's beaten the likes of Crocop, Barnett, Sylvia, Werdum... You suck.
