If you're not a fan in/don't believe in rankings that's fine, don't reply.
Although I don't know if I'd put him there if he wins on Saturday I can see an argument to be made that he'll be #1 P4P fighter in the world.
Let's look at the facts:
*He's fought and never lost at HW or LHW(hasn't even lost a round)
*His wins at Heavyweight include current UFC HW Soa Palelei, Jeff Monson, current top 10/15 HWs Antonio Silva, Josh Barnett, Roy Nelson and HW legend Frank Mir.
*His main accomplishment at HW was winning the Strikeforce HW Grand Prix that he entered as a late replacement and other than the fact Alistair withdrew, the level of competition in the tournament was pretty legit.
*With a win on Saturday he'll have wins at LHW over MMA legend Dan Henderson and the current #1 P4P fighter and LHW GOAT Jon Jones along, with becoming the LHW champion.
Those are some pretty impressive facts if you ask me but like I said, even with a win on Saturday I still hold some hesitation in ranking him the #1 P4P fighter until he has a couple more wins but I don't know. What says you Sherdog?
