But right now Anderson Silva, Fedor and GSP are ahead of him. If BJ gets past GSP, which I think he will in impressive fashion, then we can start talking about #1. Anderson currently has the most momentum and Fedor thusfar has the best record (he's only lost once and only by a stoppage at that).

Rather boring but I thought Penn deserved a draw or at least a split decision. I did not think Machida won. Penn is the only top p4p fighter who can beat the best up to LHW, but I still put Fedor ahead of Penn for p4p based on various factors. For one thing his transitions from range to range are smoother (e.g., missed throws to uppercut). His execution of his game plans also seems more flawless. Did you see the Penn Machida match?

Sure, I'd definitely watch, I didn't think he'd beat el Nino and I was sadly mistaken - can;t wait to see more of him (thompson) I am a HUGE BJ homer so my opinion shouldn’t count for alot – but Thompson/ BJ…?

Frank was joking of course but forums and blogs went crazy for two days.
