| | P4P - MMAPage 1 of 1 | So I am curious, do your pound for pound (P4P) rankings that you have change after tonight's results from UFC 135. Right now I have mine set like this:
1.) Silva
2.) GSP
3.) Aldo
4.) Jones
5.) Velasquez
I was very impressed wit Jones tonight. I am having a hard time thinking if he even got hit. He suffered minimal damage. Just like another fighter out of the Jackson Camp, who just happens to be above him in my rankings. I cannot put Jones at the top or close to the top yet simply because he has not fought enough. He looks great, and undoubtedly he will grace the top of my list if his performances continue like that. | |

I can't stand watching people fight Jones. Nobody pressures the kid, they just sit back in his range and let him pick them apart. I still think Shogun has the best chance of dethroning him. (shogun is also my idol so it may be biased) but Shogun would have to fight HIS fight. Lots of head movement and aggressively pressing forward. Keep Jones backing into the fence. (Like he did with Machida in the 2nd fight) I was at Shogun vs Bones in Newark. Wanted to shoot myself. I don't think I've ever been so depressed after a sporting event. The only thing that comes close is when John Carney missed the extra point after the river city relay in 2002 I think it was.
To stay on topic, I think that list will be changing soon when Junior dos Santos knocks off Velasquez =] | |

Posted: 9/25/2011 6:23:07 AM | | Silva and GSP are certainly at the top. Aldo and Frankie Edgar are next. I know, Edgar, WTF am I thinking? I'm thinking the guy has won against everyone recently. Maybe not ultra-convincingly, but a W is a W. I give Frankie good chances at 145, when he decides to drop down. Jones will be near the top after another title defense or 2 (I don't expect that Rashad will do any better than Rampage did). Velasquez and Dos Santos will have to battle it out to see who ends up finishing the list. | |

Posted: 9/25/2011 11:52:56 AM | No way is Jones in my top 5 P4P.
He's beaten two ranked fighters his whole career, and is larger and longer than everyone he faces.
1. Anderson.
2. GSP.
3. Dan Henderson.
4. Jose Aldo.
5. Frankie Edgar.
Frankie is Smaller than his opponants, and Dan is a MW that just went up to HW and beat a ranked fighter.
I don't even have to say anything about Silva and GSP. They are probably gonna stay where they are at unless they lose. | |
