MMA power rankings

Rankings have become a mess in MMA. Some folks like myslef want to use wins over quality competition as the main means to judge fighters at the top of the game (rankings wise). Some others want to judge rankings on more of a “whom would beat whom” basis. Personally I don’t abide by that philosophy, but certain folks do and the endgame is always in one way or another “agree to disagree”. After some thoughts over this weekend I think I have a pretty good solution. Power rankings: Judging a fighter solely on t

Blogkick: UFC 126 Preliminary Predictions

Donald Cerrone vs. Paul Kelly
Along with Anthony Pettis, Donald Cerrone is one of the most entertaining and exciting fighters to have fought in the WEC. His ability to entertain is matched by his durability and grit. Cerrone is an extremely tough fighter to put away, having never been knocked out in his career. This does not bode well for his English opponent. Most of Kelly’s victories have come by knockout but he will struggle to crack the granite jaw of Cerrone. Despite Cerrone’s adept

BlogKick: What Does it mean to be an Elite Striker?

Fedor Emelianenko Is Not Top 3 P4P

Fedor Is Not Top 3 P4P
When we talk Pound for Pound “P4P” it refers to who currently are the best fighters on this planet regardless of weight, and never has a topic been so heavily debated in MMA as who should be ranked where in the P4P discussion.  Nothing has been bugging me more than people clinging to one of the greatest fighters from Pride that hasn’t appeared in the UFC Fedor Emelianenko, and blindly ranking him number 1 on the P4P list as a way to keep Pride alive in some
