Pretty interesting read, I agree with it too. Although I have Nog ahead of Couture.

I have to say, making a top ten P4P list might be the hardest thing to do in MMA. But Yahoo seems to have a good format, and if they're going to continually add new (qualified) pollsters and vote every month, then they should have a fairly good list.

Of course, you can nitpick about the placement of certain people, but you can't make everyone happy. It's a tough job.

I am not sure how Couture ended up ahead of Liddell considering that Liddell KTFO's Couture 9 times out of 10.

Also GSP is ranked way low. Considering his latest perfomance, and Fedor's continuous absence (I don't count his latest win over middleweight Matt Lindland), GSP may very well be the #1 p4p fighter in the world.

I am sure you mean 2 out of 3, right? Liddell beat him 2 out of 3. They didn't fight 10 times. 9 out of 10 would be 90% and the real percentage is 66%. I would take Randy in the fourth match.
