Fight Matrix's all time MMA rankings.

They look ok except for Urijah Faber at number 8. Don't know how he's ahead of the likes of Aldo and Bones Jones.

Hmmm.... it looks ok but there a few things I find strange.

Urijah Faber was a legit Champion for a long time but he's ahead of Aldo for a start, but Wanderlei? Chuck Liddell?

I think Liddell should be higher.

I don't know why JDS is there.

But it's a pretty decent list I think. Everyone will have their opinions but it's not the normal crap-fest we see from these types of lists.

Marquardt?

My thoughts exactly

MrStuffins

Yeah, completely glossed over Marquardt being there. Solid fighter. One of the best ever? Not a hope!

PauloConn

JDS has held a title and has been a top heavyweight so i can see why he's there. Jon Fitch is ahead and while he's had more wins he's never held a title.
Reckon Mardquat was sleeping with the person compiling the list, its the only way he was getting in that high up.
But that will change considerably given the new crop of fighters (Jones, Pettis, Henderson, etc)

Igor Vovchanchyn and Bas Rutten not on that list shows how flawed their system is.

No Tito, Crocop or Frank Shamrock either.

MrStuffins

I wouldn't necessarily agree with Igor, but to think that he isn't yet 40 and it's 2013 is absolutely mind-blowing!

Whoever picked that list has fúcked up real bad... #1 is the undefeated Chael P Sonnen, and everyone knows it :rolleyes:

Gilbert Melendez ahead of Bas Rutten. GTFO. I understand why the likes of Royce are left out because one dimensional. Bas was way ahead of his time. Kevin Randleman could be mentioned too.

Nobody picked it.
It's computer generated based on historical rankings afaik. Which is why the likes of Faber rank so high, he's been top 3 in 145/135 since forever.

I know how fight matrix works, i have used the site before

I wasn't aiming it at you specifically, I figure it was tongue in cheek re Chael P getting touted.
I was just highlight it for those who didnt get why longevity is bumping Faber and such up.

Oh my bad 🙊
