I left out the other divisions because they're a little less competitive.
The Light Heavyweight Division was the big question before this list came out. Jackson lost a lot of ground after getting destroyed by Shogun at the GP.

Yeah I ordered that last weekend and was the most excited to see Belfort back in Pride, and Quinton Jackson who is my favorite pride fighter. Jackson got demolished though by an early knee and just looked liked he was a shell the entire fight. Shogun really impressed me in that destruction.

Jackson got a rib broken on that knee to explain why he looked so awful afterwards.

I heard alot of rumors about him having more serious injures other then the ribs.

I think I'd put Ricco over Pedro in the heavyweights. His decision loss to Minotauro was very close. Pedro hasn't done much lately.

You know the irony of the heavy weight rankings is that it puts Tim Silvia right next to Heath Herring, and that sounds like a dream fight. I kind of had a problem with that spot for Tim, (don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan and all but he's lost his last two fights in the UFC and he's in the top ten?) That sounds a little odd.

Heath Herring, Paul Buentello, Ricco, Ron Waterman, Andre Roberts, Dan Christison( he beat Jimmy Ambriz and Andre Roberts last year) should be on that list or the latest one |

Again I see alot potential in Paul Buentello but i think the idea of putting him in the top ten is kind of jumping the gun. He's perservered over the challenges before him so far very well but I'd really like to see how he'd handle stronger fights.. I really hope that don't just fead him to Andrei Orlovski right away, I don't beleive he's ready for that sort of challenge yet.

Paul was destroyed by Ricco in KOTG around when Ricco was starting in UFC. It would be just like that

have a question about a fighter even thought it doesn't exactly belong here, with Yves Edwards win loss record in the UFC why did he jump ship to Pride? Did he simply get tired of being passed over for a title fight or with his fighting portfolio did he just wish to make a new fresh start (I mean when you can fight like that you can fight damn where, where ever the hell you want).
