[braddah_shano80]

sorry the post is so long, but i figured if i posted many times there would be a lot of complaints

[FIGHTING TALK]

In my mind Ishida is number 1, ahead of Gomi,
But your top ten lists Gomi and Sherk (behind Aurelio who Gomi just beat) yet no Ishida in top ten?? Confusing.

Ishid>Gomi>Kawajiri>Aurelio

[Rigger]

Where is Sakurai?

[Rigger]

Sakurai????

[FIGHTING TALK]

Sakurai??

[Escabar]

Why is Shaolin over Kawajiri? And where is Mach? and how can Boku be ahead of JZ Calva.

[ufc hater]

some body has way to much time on their hands

*headbutt*

I pray to the Gods of MMA that you are joking.

[tuffenuff]

Aurelio ahead of Gomi? Please explain.
