Update:

Fedor Emelianenko has been on many "Best Pound for Pound Fighter" lists for years but even many of his fans are questioning his relevance since he lost his last fight to Fabricio Werdum and hasn't fought in the last six months. If Fedor can return to the ring with two wins in 2011 then he will probably return to the top ten p4p fighters; however, his management team at M-1 renegotiate his contract after every fight so this doesn't seem likely at the moment.

Update 2:

Everyone is arguing over the relevance of Fedor Emelianenko. Who are the top ten fighters not just the top fighter?

    Fedor doesn't deserve to be in the top 10 at all.

    All he does is fight losers in his organization to keep his record spotless. If he had any real competition, he would be considered average at best.

    I like your list.

    Even with his recent loss I STILL consider Fedor Emelianenko to be the best P4P fighter out there.

    GSP, by way of fact of his udder DOMINATION of BJ, i became into with Silva for a protracted time till Georges did that to BJ, and in comparison to their final day trip it became into like BJ didnt study something in the advise time yet that merely is going to coach how plenty greater GSP knows and learns in this sort of short volume of time.
