I know he hasnt beat any top guys but he is 5-0 in the UFC and has been pretty impresive, I think he should be at least in the top ten

i disagree with a lot of those but that is expected with such deep rankings. that is kind of cool because most people just rank top 10

I don't know, its pretty dece i guess. There's alot of things i'd change though.
HW- it's fine, shows how shallow th HW's are, but it looks better than past lists, division is improving.
LHW- Wandy is coming off two brutal knockouts and has yet to have a fight in the ufc, def bellow Henderson who knocked his ass out. I'd put him just above chuck, cause chuck lost to a less respected contender. THIS DIVISION IS STACKED!!
MW- Move chris leben up a little, maybe just bellow Kalib Starnes.
WW- Karo above Diego Sanchez (sanchez is coming off two losses karo is off of two wins, that overides Karo's loss to Diego) ALSO A VERY GOOD DIVISION
LW- CRAZY STACKED DIVISION. Franca above tyson griffin. Spencer Fisher above Din Thomas. Huerta definately above Clay Guida, by a long long long long long shot. Nate Diaz above Tavares. Lauzon above Tibau. Guillard above Pellegrino.
Overall I'd say they're pretty acurate.

Stuff like that does not work. You could say Shogun beat Rampage who beat Chuck who beat Tito who beat Forrest who beat Shogun 
I'll wait and see how Alexander does with a fighter that lasts longer than round before jumping on any bandwagon |

It doesn't work for determining who's better but it does work for rankings. |

This is simply for rankings, not on a fight by fight basis. |

Who beat Randleman who beat Babalu who beat Tsuyoshi Kosaka who beat Fedor.

The most solid advice I can give to anyone who fights BJ Penn is...do not motivate the guy. Lets face it, BJ although talented, is naturally lazy. Your job is to NOT convince him to step on that treadmill.
