I don't think he should be ranked that highly either

Yeah, he beat Shogun. Many people believed Shogun was number one at that time, number two at the least.
He beat Rampage who was ranked rather high, and got the title from him.
And it's a problem that he's number 8? That's not a high ranking.

My only beef is that Gomi is there over Kid.

Forrest beat the unanimous #1 2x in a row at MMAs marquee division. I have no problem with a 9 or 10 spot. It just seems a little early for a #8 spot, but definitely dont have a problem with Forrest being considered a low end Top 10 P4P fighter at the moment.

Big Nog should be ahead of GSP and Penn. Fedor should still be #1 or #2 but whatever. Don't get why Nog isn't ranked top3 though, doesnt get the credit he deserves because he is shadowed by Fedor.

Just win, baby. Back to back wins over the top guys at his weight class, how many people can say that? It's not like they gave him Rampage's spot. Rampage was # 2 after a straight win over Chuck Liddell and close, somewhat controversial win over Hendo. Forrest is # 8 after a straight win over Shogun and a close, somewhat controversial win over Rampage. Seems legitimate to me.

rankings will never be correct. no more p4p lists. Lets just say the "best" is who has belts. WAMMA baby!

yea maybe a lower ranking, like a number 10 if that

Forrest might have the belt in UFCs marguee divison i dont believe is the best fighter skill wise...just cause he has a "belt" doesnt mean he has past my eye ball test. i can name a chunk of guys who just cause they dont have the belt or havnt got a shot at fighting for the belt i think are better overall fighters. i think just cause you get a belt you are "the best" in the division. it just means you got a shot at it and got it imo

let hem defend that belt once and win and he will gain more respect from me.

a p4p list is a serious deal....Forrest isnt number 8 material yet...thats like a serious list to be put on
