This division is filled with a ton of High Level strikers right now, but how would you rank them? Here's my list-

1- Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson
2- Carlos 'Natural Born Killer' Condit
3- 'Ruthless' Robbie Lawler
4- Nick Diaz
5- Albert 'Einstein' Tumenov

Replace Diaz with Rory and it's spot on.
 
CM Punk, world class wrestler too.
 
1. Thompson
2. Tumenov
3. Condit
4. Lawler
5. Rory
 
hard to say

wonderboy
Tumenov
larkin
Warlley alves
condit?
 
Diaz only knows how to strike a match at this point.

I can't see Larkin as a top 5 striker. He was legitimately terrified to engage his punches/head kicks with Tumenov. He was limited to only leg kicks.

and still arguably won against Tumenov.

i agree though his boxing was exposed there.

hard to say how he would do against condit, rory Diaz or Lawler

Yeah, he made it a very close fight with only using leg kicks... but that's why he lost. He ONLY used leg kicks while Tumenov (despite being damaged by them) didn't change anything about his game and continued to find Larkin's face.
 
1. CM Punk
2. Richard Walsh
3. Zak Cummings
4. Gunnar Nelson
5. Court McGee
honorable mention . Damian Maia
 
Good list, except for Diaz. I don't think he's a top ten striker. In no particular order:

Lawler
McDonald
Condit
Thompson
Warlley Alves
Thiago Alves
Tumenov
Cerrone (once he debuts)
Brown
Saunders
Saffiedine
 
It funny how people react to something fresh on there mind. Some of the over reaction on sherdog.
 
If we're talking pure striking

In no order
Condit
Larkin
Wonderboy
Tumerov
Alves (155?)/Saffiedine

Honorable mention
Thatch
Daley

He already whooped on Lawler once not that long ago.
