Plus he's so small he could be a middleweight EASILY, and yet he still threw Ortiz around. Compare his Ortiz fight with Rashads, and tell me Machida won't demolish Rashad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500236210690530511.post-39482777941391723612008-09-09T12:40:00.000-07:002008-09-09T12:40:00.000-07:00There's no way Rich is top 5 yet.

Eventually when he gets his weight back he'll find his way in there, but he has to beat someone in the mix before he's considered top 5.<BR/><BR/>And yes to Lyoto. A guy that focused and centered has my money every time. However I think the man to beat him is Forrest, who is almost as crafty, will defend well on the ground, and will defend well on his feet. Rashad won't beat Forrest I don't think. Other than one lethal punch Rashad seems very beatable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500236210690530511.post-24130947894522614382008-09-09T08:52:00.000-07:002008-09-09T08:52:00.000-07:00i forgot to add both silva's to the list as wellwh...i forgot to add both silva's to the list as well<BR/>which takes him out of top 10Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500236210690530511.post-27142376905160583202008-09-09T08:50:00.000-07:002008-09-09T08:50:00.000-07:00na rich aint top 5ill give you people that would b...na rich aint top 5<BR/>ill give you people that would beat him (not in any order)<BR/><BR/>Griffin<BR/>Rampage<BR/>Machida<BR/>Evans<BR/>Shogun<BR/>Hendo<BR/>Thiago<BR/>Small Nog<BR/>Sokoudjou <BR/><BR/>that makes him 10 at leastAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500236210690530511.post-88339628975437887172008-09-09T08:49:00.000-07:002008-09-09T08:49:00.000-07:00na rich aint top 5ill give you people that would b...na rich aint top 5<BR/>ill give you people that would beat him (not in any order)<BR/><BR/>Griffin<BR/>Rampage<BR/>Machida<BR/>Evans<BR/>Shogun<BR/>Hendo<BR/>Thiago<BR/>Small Nog<BR/>Sokoudjou <BR/><BR/>that makes him 10 at leastAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535185718248502885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500236210690530511.post-44300256248565636562008-09-09T06:55:00.000-07:002008-09-09T06:55:00.000-07:00It's interesting, you watch some of Liddell's earl...It's interesting, you watch some of Liddell's early MMA fights, and that dude was an MMA fighter. Then he gets invincible in his own mind and thinks he's immune from the laws of nature and can be a one-dimensional fighter in the most competitive, modern MMA organization in the world. <BR/><BR/>I like Chuck, but I really thought he learned his lesson with Jardine and was going to mix it up with wrestling and kicking.

I don't see Forrest getting caught with a punch like Chuck did or eating a high kick like Gannon did, or giving up mount like Lambert did. He's too defensive and well-rounded, and his leg kicks may take away Rashad's base for his shots by the 2nd and 3rd rounds.<BR/><BR/>Machida will absolutely be champ and I can't wait for it.G-Offhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919365536413373541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500236210690530511.post-19884653782478197962008-09-08T19:04:00.000-07:002008-09-08T19:04:00.000-07:00I agree about Chuck.
