If Sherk fights as a lightweight he'd be number 1, but UFC doesn't have a lightweight division and so he has to compete as a welterweight.
Phil Baroni deserves to be exactly where he is.
I just realized that the Snowman is number 10 on the heavyweight list!!! He deserves it, I don't know how it happened, but good for him.
Ironman they are making a LW dixision and sean sherk is getting a title shot against either sam stout or kenny florian which he will be either and be the lw champ.
And umm why isn't brandon vera top #3!
he is a beast!

Probably for the reason that he hasn't faced anyone in the top 3 yet. Brandon has a very promising future, but until he actually tangles with either Mir, Buentello, Arlovski or Silvia, he's not going to break into that elite group just yet.

Anyone else think Brandon Vera belongs on the heavyweight list?
I am with double...he should be close. He has the best all around skills in that class in the UFC. But I think he wants to go down to lightheavyweight.
