Compare Fedor's last 4 fights to Nog's last 4 fights though...

Why are people arguing over these rankings? They aren't randomly selected, nor are they selected by a few biased people.
There were 25 members, most of them extremely knowledgable about mma, that gave their respective opinions as to where the fighters ranked. Their particular biases were cancelled out by the majority through averages.
You can't bitch and complain that your particular bias or (un)reasoned opinion isn't agreed with by everyone.
Like I said on page 1, I don't agree with every one of them. But then these are the forum's rankings, not Davisty69's rankings.

Yes, these rankings make total sense. BJ penn has clearly done more at LW than JZ and deserves to be ranked above him. Clearly the MMA knowledge of 25 paid members of this site is unquestionable.

Eh, not matter how much some people try to be objective its always going to be a little bit of a popularity contest. I bet alot of the people doing the rankings havnt even seen JZ fight.

True^^
But the more people who vote, the more accurate the rankings get, so sign up and give your opinion.

I would agree with this actually. I mean if you have people leaving Jardine off their ballots...I don't know what to say.

I think it might have more to do with the fact Fedors biggest win at HW in a long time has been Mark Hut, while Nog has just won two tough fights.

No way. Fedor being ranked #2 has nothing to do with any bias.. it's due to the fact that Fedor is not fighting top competition while Nog is.
Fedor's last 4 opponents: Choi, Lindland, Hunt, Coleman
Nog's last 4 opponents: Sylvia, Herring, Barnett, Werdum
