Dana White was a guest on the BS Report (oddly fitting) with Bill Simmons to discuss MMA related shenanigans. The topic came up of Sherdog’s Pound-forPound top 10 rankings and the response from White was as expected. Bullshit, Bullshit, Fuck Off, and Fraud.
1. Anderson Silva
2. Georges St. Pierre
3. Fedor Emelianenko
4. Jose Aldo Jr.
5. Jon Fitch
6. Frankie Edgar
7. BJ Penn
8. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua
9. Jake Shields
10. Lyoto Machida
Not mentioning that 8 of the 10 fighters listed are his employees, but he takes his shot at Fedor being #3 in the world. He also makes claims that “certain” sites take a payout to rank specific fighters in these lists, rather than actually using the terms “pound-for-pound” correctly. The audio is below courtesy of ESPN Radio, and try not to break something as he constantly mispronounces notable names (Machada…seriously?). How Bill Simmons is allowed to grace the airwaves, let alone the TV screen, is beyond me.

I actually don’t find that list too appalling. Get rid of Edgar and move Fitch down. Edgar will get layed to waste in the Penn rematch. Not sure who to throw in there, maybe Gilbert Melendez, or Allistar (too soon), or Alves. Guess I should talk unless I have better ideas.
