4. Junior Dos Santos
5. Jose Aldo

I like Tapology's ...

4. Jose Aldo
5. Junior Dos Santos
6. Benson Henderson
7. Frankie Edgar
8. Dan Henderson
9. Renan Barao
10. Demetrious Johnson

 

Dan Henderson over Demetrious Johnson. Hendo fights really high tier fighters at multiple divisions and wins.

 

4. Edgar
5. Aldo
6. Bendo
7. Hendo
8. Melendez
9. MM
10. Barao

Something like that

 

I'd like it if JDS wasn't on it...probablyHendo too

I've always had trouble putting big guys on a P4P list

 

4. Jones
5. JDS
6. Bendo
7. Melendez
8. Cruz
9. Hendo
10. Barao

 

But he lost to Jake Shields and Demetrious did very well in Bantamweight till he faced Dominick.

 

Hendo is a middleweight fighting at 205 and has also got in the cage with heavyweights..... hes usually the smaller guy in the cage

 

No Edgar?!

 

Chael Sonnen needs to be in there somewhere. Very few have been able to earn title shots in two divisions.

 

JDS dominates HW amazingly man.

Longest winning streak in UFC Heavyweight history (9)

Undefeated in the UFC

Finished 7 of his 9 UFC fights.

He never lost a round in the UFC.

Beated Cain, Mir, Werdum, Carwin, Nelson, Struve, Cro Cop, Gonzaga and Yvel.

 

Hell no, he's 1-2-1 in his last four fights. Fedor was dropped from P4P top 10 after losing to Werdum and he had been in top 3 for like 6-7 years.

 

4.Aldo
5.Benderson
6.Edgar
7.Henderson
8.JDS
9.Barao
10.Melendez

 

Yeah he looked terrible that fight vs Shields but since then he left that division and has been looking unstoppable with fight of the year vs shogun and even knocked out Fedor. Just think about that for a second, Hendo went up to heavyweight and knocked out Fedor. That's huge for p4p cred.

 

why is it that there are always so many lighter weight fighters on this list?

 

Helped eliminate SOME of the arguing in P4P threads

 

Fedor only fell from it because that put him under Brock for rankings and they couldn't put Fedor on the list without putting Brock on it, so he got screwed.
Edgar arguably won the second fight vs Bendo and did you just see what Bendo did to Nate Diaz and how competitive his fights vs Frankie were? If anything that fight vs Nate just showed how great Frankie really is in his fights vs Bendo.

 

Easier to get KTFO in higher weight classes? The greats in HW and LHW seem to have much shorter win streaks. I think its easier to pull an upset, making reigns at lighter divisions longer.

This is pure speculation on my part though, and I have no statistics to back it up with, so there is a high chance I'm wrong; I'd say.... 47%, something I also made up.

 

because that's the reason p4p lists exist?

if you put Aldo in the cage against JDS obviously JDS is going to slaughter him


but p4p aldo is a vastly superior fighter
