Iam gonna list the top ten fighters here (some may not be heavyweight but would not matter)

1-Rickson Gracie-haven't ever seen the guy even close to losing

2-Frank Shamrock-seems to do everything well and always shows up

3-Tito Ortiz-right in there with Frank-won some big fights, tough, can stand witht he best, can roll with the best

4-Silva-beat Sak and looks like a monster in the ring

5-Sakuraba-3 Gracies, enough said

6-Coleman-won the big tournament, strong, size, has to be here although I probably disagree myself

7-Belfort-fast hands, size, bjj when he is on he could be the best overall

8-Newton-great submission, condition and does everything well, although not Rickson on the ground or Belfort with his hands he is probably capable of taking anyone on this list

[Zhoozhitsu]

Bear, what grade are you in? I thought you were gonna list 10.

[Lacrymosa]

1. Scott Morris
2. Steve Jennum
3. uhhhhhh...........

[YeLLa-TiGeR]

Sak shouldnt even be in there, he is a middle weight.

IMO he is #1 in the middle weight division.

[Mr. Miyagi]

LOL!
Mark Coleman a light heavyweight? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Carlos Newton a light heavyweight? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Sakuraba has competed against enough heavier guys to warrant being top 5 in light heavyweight category as well as the #1 middleweight. Armbarring Vernon White, Conan Silveira, and Ebenezer Braga, as well as destroying Vitor Belfort and subbing Renzo Gracie and Carlos Newton make him qualified for anything.

How can you rate Sakuraba as #1 after his fight w/ Silva????
