Re: Fedor Emelianenko signs with M1 and not UFC! :(
LOL Dana White. You're going to get the best fighters, huh? ALL OF EM? Oops. No Fedor, no Barnett, no Gomi, no Kang, no 'Lil Nog, no Lindland, no Soukoudjou, etc. etc.
Oh, and that HBO deal that you had finalized? LOL, whoops. Dana best get the Wandy/Chuck fight done (Dave Meltzer has reported that it's been verbally agreed to) or else he's going to be 0-3 on getting some big deals done.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, let's ignore him bringing in Crocop, BigNog, Wand, Shogun, Aurelio, Gono, Nakamura, Machida, Rampage, Herring, Werdum, Anderson, etc Barnett/Lindland will never be back for obvious reasons Kang/Sok I would still love to see in UFC Gomi we don't really know how good he is - clearly not the #1 LW after getting choked out by Diaz and Aurelio who lost his UFC debut Funny how people can hate on Dana for not signing a handful of fighters with all he's done for MMA, if you think he hasn't been anything but one of the best things ever to happen to the sport then you really aren't a true fan and especially aren't worth arguing with. Back on topic - if this ends up being the case, Fedor can say goodbye to his #1 ranking. It sickens me how good this guy is and that he hasn't fought a top 10 heavyweight since 2005.

[/ QUOTE ] Currently he is ranked by nearly everyone as the #1 pound for pound fighter. However, Fedor's refusal to fight ranked fighters combined with Randy Couture potentially beating Minotauro would likely vault Randy into the #1 spot - you could also make an argument for Anderson Silva taking that spot should be beat down Franklin like he did the first time. At the height of his career when he won Pride's Grand Prix last year, Crocop was ranked by most as the #2 heavyweight; many thought he would beat Fedor if a rematch ever occurred. He has looked completely lost in the UFC, though, losing by knockout to Gabriel Gonzaga and then dropping a disappointing decision to Kongo, a guy pretty much hand-picked for him to knock out. He claims to have broken his rib in that fight, but he has looked flat ever since leaving Pride - right now, he is not top 10 material. My top 10 list at heavyweight is 1. Fedor 2. Couture 3. Nogueira 4. Barnett 5. Gonzaga 6. Sylvia 7. Arlovski 8. Kongo 9. Werdum 10. A. Emelianenko/Vera/Kharitonov
