Kenny Florian and Cung Le have to be on there. You agree. And those young LHW's Banha Cane and Reljic are on there also.

You missed Gomi and Horodescki at LW, his footwork is the Best, no Paul Daley at WW, also Cung Le should have a mention, and I'd definatly take some Fighters off like, Thiago Silva, Rich Franklin, Mike Bisping, and Mike Swick

Who they are fighting dosn't determine how good their striking skill is. you can look at Cung and see he is a bad ass on his feet.

I agree. Cung Le should be on the list for sure. Gomi is almost strctly standing, and very good at it.

yeah but he was a former professional boxer with a good record. i think his stand up is legit and he should get his due...no matter how much of a douche he may be
oh, and no love for Aoki?

Mark Hunt for heavyweight.
GSP's stand up is way overrated.
Gomi should be in for the lightweights.
Overeem should also be on the list.
Add Lytle instead of Swick for ww.
take out Thiago Silva for LHW, put in Shogun.
Gilbert Yvel also.
anyways thats my take on the list. Good list overall
