So who is it? Who should the top 5 fighters be? What how about the top 10? By all means submit your picks. Post a list if who you think the top 5 or 10 are. And be sure to tell us why.

Here is my list of the best of the best:

1. Anderson "The Spider" Silva
2. George "Rush" St. Pierre (a very close runner up and maybe the actual #1 fighter)
3. Jose Aldo "Junior"
4. Jon "Bones" Jones
5. Junior Dos Santos
6. Frankie "The Answer" Edgar
7. Dominick Cruz
8. "The California Kid" Urijah Faber
9. Dan "Hendo" Henderson
10. Shinya "Tokiban Judan" Aoki

Now my top 4 picks I feel very strongly about. And for the most part I like the whole list, but as you will see; as soon as you begin to create a list like this it becomes very tricky. So many factors to figure in; there is just so much to take into account. Give it a try and let me know what you think about my choice....



Who can predict this one? This could easily turn out to be the Fight of the Year; and will be a barn burner at the very least!!! Diaz has so much power in his punches and has the ability to swarm and overwhelm opponents with them. Condit has a very good Muay Thai game, but not likely the punching power to knock Diaz out or even win if drawn into a boxing match. He does have the ability to deliver a fight ending knee or kick; but after watching Cerrone, will he even be able to get a kick off? These guys are both super talented and have earned this fight. Although in my opinion, whoever ends up the Interim Champion, will only be able to enjoy it till the 170 lbs. Champ G.S.P. is healthy and ready to fight. George St. Pierre is still the man to beat, and I don't see anyone at 170 lbs. that can stop him right now. For UFC 142, I have a feeling Diaz might edge this one out with his superior hands, but I have been a "Natural Born Killer" fan for a while and will be rooting for Condit. What do you guys think?
