    Mma heavyweight rankings?!?

    Who do you guys think is in the top 10 p4p heavyweight rankings?
    i have...
    1. Cain Velasquez

    2. Júnior dos Santos

    3. Alistair Overeem

    4. Brock Lesnar

    5. Fabrício Werdum

    6. Shane Carwin

    7. Frank Mir

    8. Antonio Silva

    9. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira or Fedor Emelianenko

    10. Brendan Shaub or Roy Nelson
    My opinion is based on their performance in last 3 years (2008 to present day):

    Cain Velasquez and Júnior dos Santos had more competitive fights than Alistair Overeem, so I'm putting the UFC Champion and the UFC #1 contender over the Strikeforce Champion. Brock Lesnar is 4th, because he has victories over two top 10 (Carwin and Mir) like Fabrício Werdum (Pesão and Fedor), but was Champion and Fedor is in clearly decadence (or only a bad streak). Between Carwin, Mir and Pesão, the UFC fighters had had more competitive fights and Carwin has a win over Mir. I tied Minotauro and Fedor at 9th, because of his recent losses and performance and they will fall from the top 10 during this year. I also put roy nelson and brendan shaub both at 10 because its tough to see who's better roy nelson has been verry impressive up until jds manhandled him even in that fight he showed a great chin and heart while brendan shaub keeps dominating his opponets like their amature's, nelson and shaub fought at the season 10 finale to see who would become the ultimate fighter nelson won but both fighters have improved alot since than, i would love to see a remacth.

    Perspective: the StrikeForce Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament will become #1 Heavyweight, because he will collect three victories among top heavyweights. Other important shifts at the top will occur with Lernar vs JDS: if Lernar wins, JDS drops to 4th and if JDS wins, Lesnar will drop to 5th since he has recent victories over Carwin and Mir.

    I like that you kept Brock in the top 5...he's kind of the enigma....Cain destroyed him but we really don't know how good brock is till he fights junior....and what happens if he beats JDS....then all this mess is on it's head because a lot of people think that JDS might be able to take Cain. I am more interested in Brocks next fight than anything. Will Brock have a real camp this time? will it be in time to give him a stand up game? or is he just hanging around to get his last fight in MMA and ride off into the sunset.

    Im a big Overeem fan, even though he hasnt had the calibre of opposition to put him at the number 1 spot (i agree with 3 being the right place for him) I think he has the potential to beat cain ! im placing money on him walking through the heavyweight grand prix

    I dont see mention of Mitrione... I just like the guy, but he is on a winning streak, be that as it may against some unproven opponents, he still walks through them.
