Zuffadog's (MDS) very biased ranking

[monaroCountry]

As ive said many times before, Sherdog is just another Zuffa pupet, their writers are just another mouthpice for Zuffa. Tell me why and how all these Zuffa fighters ever made it that high up the ladder (especially Brock Lesnar).

http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles...Rankings-27767


1. Cain Velasquez (9-0)
During his first week at the American Kickboxing Academy, trainers thought Velasquez was a future UFC heavyweight champion. On Oct. 21 in Anaheim, Calif., he made that a reality, blowing away Brock Lesnar in the first round to claim the UFC heavyweight crown. While he can celebrate for now, Velasquez will have to return early next year to defend his throne against fellow young heavyweight Junior dos Santos.

2. Brock Lesnar (5-2)
Debates over wrestling laurels, physical size and the like all went out the window at UFC 121, as Lesnar just could not compete with Cain Velasquez. Lesnar was battered from pillar-to-post for over four minutes, en route to losing his title to Velasquez in a one-sided thumping.

3. Fabricio Werdum (14-4-1)
On Aug. 18, Werdum underwent surgery and had 27 loose bone fragments removed from his left elbow. Already in physiotherapy to rehab, the author of 2010’s most significant upset now targets a return to action in the first quarter of 2011.

4. Fedor Emelianenko (31-2, 1 NC)
The chicanery of another Emelianenko pre-fight has begun. Emelianenko’s promoters at M-1 have openly announced their interest in fighting Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem, on the condition that the Dutchman submits to Olympic-style drug testing. Naturally, little headway has been made surrounding Emelianenko’s next bout.

5. Junior dos Santos (12-1)
Dos Santos’ next step is now clear. Courtesy of Cain Velasquez’s thrashing of Brock Lesnar at UFC 121 on Oct. 23, “Cigano” will challenge Velasquez for the UFC heavyweight crown in early 2011 in a great pairing of thrilling young heavyweights.

6. Shane Carwin (12-1)
The second half of 2010 has been rough for Carwin. After falling to Brock Lesnar in dramatic fashion in their July UFC title bout, his name was connected to a federal steroids investigation. The mammoth Coloradan will get the chance to start 2011 on a higher note, as he meets “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 10 winner Roy Nelson at UFC 125 on Jan. 1.

7. Frank Mir (14-5)
At UFC 119, Mir and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic underwhelmed the Indianapolis crowd for 14 minutes with a dreadful exhibition of aimless clinching. Finally, with just 58 ticks left in the fight, Mir landed a colossal knee that crushed the Croat, notching one of the least impressive highlight-reel KOs in recent memory.

8. Alistair Overeem (33-11, 1 NC)
The Strikeforce heavyweight champion’s efforts continue to come in kickboxing rather than MMA. “The Demolition Man” earned an easy first-round KO over Aussie Ben Edwards on Oct. 2 in Seoul, South Korea, to advance to December’s K-1 World Grand Prix finale in Yokohama, Japan. As for an MMA return, it remains anyone’s guess for now.

9. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (32-6-1, 1 NC)
Back in December 2008, Nogueira was taken out by Frank Mir in lopsided fashion. He was scheduled for a chance at redemption against Mir at UFC 119 on Sept. 25, until a hip injury struck, forcing “Minotauro” from the fight and onto the surgeon’s table.

10. Antonio Silva (14-2)
Silva’s hope was that he would get to face Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem. With “The Demolition Man” dealing with his K-1 duties in December, “Pezao” will instead meet the Dutchman’s older brother, Valentijn Overeem, on Dec. 4 in St. Louis.

Other contenders: Josh Barnett, Cole Konrad, Roy Nelson, Ben Rothwell, Brendan Schaub.

Why is it bias? it's just current. All time, Fedor honestly triumphs over all. But recently he loss, why is it so hard for people to accept that he's not #1 right now? You can't possibly be #1 if your no winning.

Lesnar was get over it. He just loss so be happy. Their rankings are as fair as it gets in my opinion.

Well look at Lesnar, the guy has 5-2 record and has also lost his last fight. Not only that but Brock has close to NIL standup, close to NIL ground game and is basically known as the "take down guy" or the white Bob Sapp.

Fedor has 32-2 (really only 1 loss), top class ground game, top class standup, proven, been at the top for close to 10 years and have fought champions from different promotions.

Why is Brock higher than Fedor, why is an inexperienced and unproven Cain higher than Fedor (Cain also hasnt shown enough ground game). You seriously have to be blind, dumb, Zuffa Zombie or all of the above if you cant see anything wrong with that idiotic ranking.

If its all about who lost their last fight then at least be consistent and drop all those who lost their last fight to the bottom of the ladder. Promote Tim Sylvia to the top 6 along with Overeem, Werdum, JDS, Rogers and Cain. Drop Brock, Fedor, Carwin, AA to the bottom half.

Not to mention the fact that Fedor simply got caught, where as Lesnar was just outclassed and literally beat from pillar to post.

Horribly biased rankings. You'd have to be a blind, dumb Zuffa Zombie to not see anything wrong with them.

werdum and fedor should be 1 and 2.

cain should be 3, dos santos 4, and brock 5.

mir shouldn't be on there or are at least 10. i am just biased against mir. he sometimes comes off as a ****** to me.

overeem may be untested and i have a hard time picking him over any top 5 heavyweight but he would destroy mir.

so would bigfoot silva. he would stomp the ****y ****** right out of mir.

ratings weren't too bad, just the arrangement and frank mir was on there.

Lesnar doesn't belong in the top 5, and he may not belong in the top ten. He is nothing but a farce and has been exposed as such. He's 5-2 for fuck's sake. One of his wins was against a guy he went 1-1 with, 2 more were comeback wins in fights he was losing. That leaves Min Soo Kim and a way passed his prime Heath Herring. I know guys don't guy from a fraudulent #1 spot to out of the top ten, but speaking frankly, he doesn't belong any higher than 7 or 8. Fedor, Werdum, JDS, Cain, Overeem and Barnett all without question belong ahead of him.

yeah brock was overhyped, i just gave him the benefit of the doubt for being champ. even a fraudulent top #1 spot, like u said.

#7 seems reasonable.

but #2 for brock is blatant biasness.

We get it man, you frequent the board. Posting their doesn't make you a Zuffa Zombie. Sherdog and the UFC are clearly in bed though. Sure, Zuffa strong armed them into it and you can make excuses all you like, but you can't defend the biased nature of their reporting methods.
