Comments
I found Helwani's rankings interesting. I thought I was the only one who felt Matyushenko has broken into the top ten.
I know every big list has Shinya Aoki at #4 or #5 but I am sure anyone in the top 10 would beat on Aoki. If only Aoki could fight a top 10 opponent now to prove me right... or prove that I am wrong
I agree. Aoki is one of the very best ground tacticians in the sport's history, but he lacks the well-rounded skill-set needed to compete with some of the best Lightweights in the U.S.
