I would probably put MacDonald at the 6 spot in my personal WW rankings.

What planet are you on? Phone Post

Come back a few years from now.

This is akin to the Jones ascension. I said the same thing back then.

This kind of insane talent, most people should be easily able to spot it. I think the hate and bias gets in the way.
Jones has finished all his opponents in the UFC except Bonner Phone Post
Hamill?

Ha ha ha

You made a mistake.

ranier wolfcastle - 

he showed hes better than nick diaz imo


? BJ looked FAR worse after the Diaz fight.

Would Rory beat Nick? There's a good chance, yes, he's a bad matchup for him.

This fight doesn't prove shit though, you turkey.

Please list the 18 welterweights you rank ahead of Rory, and leave none out.

I need a good laugh. Phone Post

Top 5 in the rankings, but I think he'd beat anyone in the WW division right now.

OP is clearly clueless and doesn't deserve a response, but I will anyway because it's late and I'm bored.

Rory dominated Condit for 2 rounds when he was, what, 19? Has absolutely smashed everyone else he has faced, looking amazing and technical.

People said the same thing about Jon Jones even after the Bader fight, saying he had no shot against Rua and that he hadn't REALLY fought anyone world class at that point.

But anyone who paid attention to MMA knew what Jones was. It isn't only WHO you fight but HOW you fight. Anyone who tries to deny the kind of talent that Rory has is in real denial and just doesn't like him for whatever reason.

I wouldn't argue that Rory is #1 contender, but not having him top 10 is silly IMO.

Oh and Thiago Alves is 2-4 in his last six with wins over John Howard and Papy Abedi. Please explain that logic.

Most educated fans put him in the bottom of the ten. Not sure why you'd ask about top 20 Phone Post

Rory definitely in the top 10. For him to break top 5 he needs to beat Fitch and Kos.. They are the gate keepers to number one contender status.
