[EXOICHO]

Larkin is on a 3 fight winning streak and only lost to arguably the best WW in the world Lima and the heavy handed who can KO anyone on any given night Daley

it disney that has the deal with the ufc. ariel and brett cover all mma and notice disney has a deal with pfl as well.

And ESPN covers the UFC and not Bellator, correct?

 

[BlastoiseDad]

Hory #7 nah bro

Are you really trying to make the argument that Rory wasn't a consensus top five/ten fighter? Because I have to tell you, that's a pretty asinine argument. A bad decision vs Fitch doesn't prove shit (Rory won three rounds in that fight, and it was easy to score) and Fitch has looked as good as ever lately.

Don't forget Rory got beaten convincingly by Wonderboy. Rory still has the skills but just by watching him you can tell he isn't the same guy mentally as he was five years ago.

That was 9 years ago, I'm a Daley fan but Masvidal would fuck him up now.

espn covers all of mma. notice he had pfl fighters on his radio show notice a bellator fighter workers ufc events.

disney made deals with ufc and pfl and espn covers this thing called sports.

For one decision loss to Lima? GTFO of here with that bullshit. Rory is still easily top ten.

ESPN's rankings here are a lot better than Sherdog's, which are absolutely embarrassing.

Its not just one decision loss, He's 1-2-1 in his last 4 and hasn't looked good since the second Lawler fight lol

Wonderboy was beating everybody convincingly back then. He was top two in the world at that point. That hardly proves Rory isn't a top ten fighter.

Its not just one decision loss, He's 1-2-1 in his last 4 and hasn't looked good since the second Lawler fight lol

He looked very good in his first two fights at Bellator, and in his last fight before Lima he looked great against (the highly underrated) Neiman Gracie. His loss at 85 to Mousasi doesn't count (any 70er would've gotten their ass beat on that night against him.) In the WW division, since leaving the UFC, he has one loss at WW, and it's a competitive decision against Douglas Lima. Again, this does not remove him from the top ten.

 

[spinup]

Masvidal ranked #3, hasn't beaten any other guys of the list. Legit.

 

[ThoseAreMyShoes]

Hasn't Ponzi retired?

I'd swap him out for Burns.

No but it would be weird to rank him above Wonderboy.

 

[Reydereyes]

If Lima is so good why is he still in Bellator? Because of money? The top dogs in the UFC make way more money than Bellator, if he is so good and can become a champ he should make the move.
Truth is he would never ever even sniff a title shot.

 

[BodomNight**]

Who had Rory really beaten?? Woodley way back when he was still losing to guys like marquardt and shields. Lol. Oh he beat a old washed up bj penn. wow. Rory couldn’t even beat Fitch.

so where is Fitch in these rankings?? Should he be 9?

Yeah guys, it's not like Woodley lost to Rory at his prime at age 32, and thereafter went on a 5 year unbeaten streak while capturing ufc gold with numerous defenses!! Rory beat nobodies! R-right guys? ...guys??

What a shit show of a thread, bunch of homos arguing of imaginery rankings of a sports channel

I wanna say ‘you must be new to sherdog’...

but I can’t.

What’s up with the asterisks near your name??

 

[Pressure Project]

Wonderboy beats Mas yet several spots lower.

This ranking system is even worse than college football. There’s no logic to any of it in reality.
