Somebody please explain to me how Johny Kendricks is on the P4P list? Don't get me wrong he's winning fights but one of the ten best in MMA? :stupid:

Why wouldnt he be? Dude is a 2 time NCAA D1 National Wrestling Champion who has crazy knockout power, and is 15-1 in MMA with wins over Condit, Fitch, Kampman, Koscheck, and TJ Grant. 10 wins in the UFC in 3 and a half years.

one of the saddest things about MMA is because the fan base is largely white a legend like anderson silva doesn't get his proper due. The things he does to opponents gets taken for granted.

I'll give you that but still I don't believe he belongs in the same discussion as Silva, Jones, GSP, Aldo etc.. just yet.

Because:

- He's 11-1 in the UFC.
- Has finished Fitch [who's very tough to finish, last time he was finished was about a decade ago] [top 3-5 WW at the time]
- Beaten Kos [top 5 WW]
- Beaten [and finished] Kampmann [top 5-8 WW]
- Beaten Condit [top 3-5 WW]
- His last 4 wins is up there as one of the best 4-fight win streaks in WW history [Kos, Fitch, Kampmann and Condit ]
- Also beaten good fighters like Pierce and Grant.

If not Hendricks, name 10 fighters you would put above him in the P4P rankings.

Definitely not on their level yet but I got no problem with him being in the lower part of the top 10

While I agree that Anderson doesn't get his proper dues, it's not because of race.

JDS, Rousey, Pettis not ten but at the moment I'd put these three ahead of him.

It cant be a language barrier cuz he speaks better english than fedor and shogun and their fan base is strong in the states.What do those fighters have over anderson, pride glory? since when did mma fans not operate on what have u done for me lately. 7 years of dominance in the best mma org in the world doesnt trump a stint in a checkered org riddled with match fixing and steroids?

That excuse doesnt hold water in 2013 cuz hes made strides in trying to speak english.The whole "bubba but he doesnt speak english" is exactly my point, why does he need to if it aint racial?.

I liken it to 80s rasslin, when u had a beast that obliterated babyfaces but happened to be foreign.Did you really need to hear him speak or did his actions/english speaking manager sell him to fans..

I can't stand Forrest but I actually felt bad for that dude against Anderson, as bad as it looked I don't even think Silva was really trying to clown him, it's just hard to fight a guy who didn't pose a threat in any manner and not make them look stupid
