^^Huerta at #10

Huerta should be at least in the top 5 imo but your opinion is your opinion so I can't change your mind. Here's mine anyway...

1) Kenny Florian
2) Diego Sanchez
3) Joe Stevenson
4) Roger Huerta (would be 2 or 3 but hasn't fought in ages)
5) Clay Guida
6) Hermes Franca
7) Sean Sherk
8) Joe Lauzon
9) Nate Diaz
10) Mac Danzig/Efrain Escudero (not a fan of Danzig but still respect him enough to keep him in the top 10, as for Escudero he could be big one day)

 

[MTG]

1. Kenny Florian
2. Sean Sherk
3. Clay Guida
4. Diego Sanchez
5. Tyson Griffin
6. Nate Diaz
7. Joe Stevenson
8. Joe Lauzon
9. Josh Neer
10. Spencer Fisher

Honorable mention:
Terry Etim


IMO you guys both have sherk really low, since 2003 hes only lost 2 fights to BJ and GSP. And he's won 4 of his last five. Huerta has taken a break from MMA so he's not on my list. you guys both ranked Sanchez too high second imo is too high for someone whos only had 1 fight in this division. And i definitely have Neer on my list over Danzig.


Some matches i would love to see at LW:
BJ vs Florian
Florian vs Sherk II
Sanchez vs Florian II
Guida vs Sherk
Lauzon vs Stevenson

I did wonder whether I put Sherk too low but I decided I never because even though his win/loss record may be impressive, I don't think the actual matches have been too convincing. Also I forgot all about Tyson Griffin but I'll put him in 5th (cbf to edit the post ).

Also I could possibly be wrong about Sanchez but he has some good wins on his record and is a damn good fighter, especially if you go by his fight with Stevenson. Another big win for him and it'll justify his position as a top LW for sure.

My Dream matches:
BJ Vs Florian
BJ Vs Huerta
Florian Vs Huerta II
Huerta Vs Stevenson (for those of you wondering, Huerta is awesomeness imo)
Stevenson Vs Sherk
Escudero Vs Guida

1.Kenny Florian (even though I hate the man to death)

What's all the hate about our future UFC LW Champ man?

^I agree
Hes my favorite LW in the UFC.

and the reason that i don't have sanchez as high as you is because hes only had one fight at LW. He does have some impressive wins but their all in the WW division
