I think his fights are exciting, but I just have a hard time seeing some of the other guys on the list being lower than him.. Great placement of Lawler..

The translator had to laugh, but at that point the call had gone so far south it was time for the bear question quite honestly. Some kid had just gotten on the line and asked Brett any advice he would have for him in traning UFC. It was bad. But Fedor basically tucked and said the only time he had seen a bear was at the zoo, and that he didn't think killing a bear with such methods would be possible. I think he's hiding something, lol. http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/2/From-Surviving-the-Streets-of-Russia-to-MMA-The-Story-of-Aleksander-Emelianenko-Part-2-13709 "On whether people really hunt bears with knives: Emelianenko: Yes, they do. A few years ago there was an unfortunate incident. One sportsman, a world champion in wrestling … what was he doing? Yes, he was putting a fork under the bear’s neck. [The practice of hunting bears with a knife involves, once the bear is in front of you, placing a long stick with a letter U-shaped end under the bear’s muzzle as it rears up to fight. Once the stick is in place, the bear isn’t able to bring its body down and the hunter stabs it a number of times, ideally killing it instantly.] And then the bear couldn’t attack him, and he was stabbing it under the ribs in the heart. And as he was stabbing it, that bear swung with its paw. It was dead already -- the paw was its last gasp with all its strength and basically took half of the wrestler’s head off. And of course the other hunters opened fire on the bear, but it was too late. He went to try his luck with a bear, and it didn’t come off. For me everything is still fine. I’m OK.

Pretty decent list. Marcus Davis's fights against Chris Lytle and Mike Swick I thought would drop him a little bit but to each his own. I wonder if there is a video anywhere of Aleks killing the bear. What Redwire described is probably the manliest thing you can do period. I m gonna go pick a fight with a squirrel in Aleks honor.

You get a bear to attack you, when it rears up, you stick this tall fork under it's chin in order to limit it's mobility, and then you stab it to death. When I first heard about Aleks doing this, they also mentioned how a star wrestler died doing the same thing. Even when the bear has the fork under it's chin, it can still keep the knockout punches coming. Only those punches have claws. It's not a politically correct way of putting meat on the table.

Oops, I guess that can happen to anyone. I love little (age only) Emelianenko's selection, I keep hearing the story about killing the bear, does anyone know the circumstances? I mean everywhere else in the world hunters go out with big guns, I guess Aleks didn't think he needed more than a knife and fork.

I'm stoked you gave Paul Taylor some love, but when did he drop to 155? I thought he was fighting at 170. I know he last fought Peter Sobotta at UFC 99, but I assumed it was at Welterweight. I also didn't mind Tim Credeur being 20, since he really does bring some great friggin fights. I couldn't believe how Nate's eye was still inside his head after their fight, it was nasty.

If you’ve been doing nothing but highlight reeling guys all over your hometown in North Dakota somewhere, ant the North Dakota Fighting Alliance shows, there’s a good chance a lot of people haven’t heard of you yet, so you’re not making this list, sorry.

What you said about him is true but 10 of his 12 wins are against low tier competition, and while he does bring it whenever he fights he doesnt even come close to being a top 20 exciting fighter in my mind, I can think of plenty of guys who bring it real consistently. Not to beat a dead dog, but silva at 41 and credeur at 20? I realize drawing jeers for recent (in)activity is *part* of the criteria, but it seems to me the level of competition they face should be taken into account, and if it is, credeur shouldnt be on the same list as silva, let alone beating him by 21 spots.

So far this whole list has been well done and made me and others I'm guessing look at other aspects of fighters that we may have over looked. Great Job.
