CroCop has proven himself more than once against top comp.

Rashad, instead of improving in his fights he is just looking worse and worse.

Marcus Davis is hell of over rated. The UFC is force feeding this guy down everyones throats like he's a top 10 fighter and everyone is actually falling for this. Marcus Davis couldn't hold a candle to any of the top UFC WWs. Hell, Marcus Davis couldn't hold a candle to a shitload of WWs still fighting on the prelims. That's why Marcus gets my vote.

I picked houston beacuse all the other fighters there I think are great fighters and houston last fight kind of showed how houston is not rounded. I'm not saying he's not good. I'm just saying there is alot of hype around a guy that is one dementional and he needs to start working on other aspects. He is a brute and i think he will be one of the biggest forces to reckon with in the future.

I think Matt Serra should be there. IMO he's so overrated it's making me sick.

Soko is the most overrated, I don't see how Rashad is overrated, most have him in the bottom half of the top ten, I believe that's where he is right now.

Soko had a fluke KO over Nog, he KOed Arona and then got schooled by Machida.

Machida is a monster. He would make anyone at LHW look bad. A loss to him is not a terrible thing. I picked Evans. Just due to the hype people put around him both here and in the UFC. A draw with Tito is an accomplishment, but not nearly worthy of the hype they've given Rashad. Gurgel and Davis are close behind.
