Yeah I think I need an explanation lol Not bumping you or anything. Yeah that is fine bro. I said I would explain so I will, I am a man of my word. Rich is number one for the following reasons: 1.) Anderson said himself he was his best opponent. 2.) He stood toe to toe with Anderson for several rounds, granted after awhile he got owned but it takes serious skill and lot of heart to do so. 3.) It took a lot for Anderson to put him away both times. 4.) He is the best striker to this point that Anderson has faced. 5.) He is the only one that is really still in the hunt for a title granted in another division but none the less. Proves he is still a good fighter but Silva is his kryptonite. Chael is number two for the following reasons: 1.) He did better against Anderson than anyone has ever done before. 2.) He is not number one because he employed the lay strategy did miminal damage but still controlled Anderson for 4 3/4 rounds. Also Anderson finished him in the last minute of a fight with triangle. He let Anderson come back and win after doing all that. 3.) He is over Hendo due to he did better than Hendo against Anderson. Maia at 7 because Anderson humiliated him for the last two rounds because he was bored with him. Need I explain more thats just embarrassing. Cote above Nate because cote did better than Nate before blowing out his knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweak Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Rich looked almost equal to Anderson at the start of both fights. But Anderson is a very technical stiker with a killer instinct who makes very few mistakes. Rich made a mistake both fights, so he got KO'd. That said i do not think Rich would ever beat Silva in a fair fight, so his move to 205 makes sound sense. No one at 205 is better then Anderson and Rich is proof. Cote managed to entertain Anderson, I do think Anderson was playing with Cote, no one can convince me otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
