    Hey gang, we've been asked by S2 to create our own P4P list.

    Let's get some votes going.

    Please pick your top ten from the poll I've provided, then we'll sort out who goes where.

    Cheers.

    I think so far the top five fighters are in no particular order, GSP, Silva, Fedor, Shogun and Aldo. The next 5 are kinda harder to choose, I think Fitch and Edgar have to be on there for sure. Does BJ still deserve to be counted amongst the top 10 or does he have to win again to crack the list. I voted for Cris Santos to be on the list but then its like, is she really that good or is she just physically superior to all the other women.

    No Koscheck or Carwin listed btw.

    Seems like unanimous picks oughta be Lesnar, Rua, Anderson Silva, GSP, Edgar, Aldo as they're all champs in their divisions and widely considered the best. That's 6 right there. Its tough to pick after that, especially so without any clearly stated criteria.

    I'll go with Shields, Fedor, Cruz... last spot comes down to Junior Dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez (also had Fitch and Koscheck under consideration here). Based on competition faced, consecutive wins, and how dominant they were its a very tough pick. I'm going with JDS, perhaps surprisingly but I can't sotp flip flopping in my mind.

    Also under consideration were Cyborg and Rashad.

    I'll cap this when Silva (or someone) gets to 10.

    Yeah the poll had a limit of 40 choices. With Kos's recent record (4-2) I didn't include him. Carwin should be on the list. If anyone wants to write someone in go ahead and do so.
