K-Zombie is awesome to watch but I've never gotten the idea that he's some sort of elite contender. You have ignored this user.

naughtiidawg liver kicked my SN - Mendes vs Lamas would solidify a spot for either. Taking out Cody M. Isn't exactly #2 status worthy
Disagree.

The co-main of the Aldo vs Pettis card should be Lamas vs Zombie to determine No.1 contender.

It's too soon for Mendes to be getting another shot. Give someone else a chance.

Your right, forgot about TKZ.
How about,

TKZ/Lamas

B_Goetz -
nick diaz nut hugger - I heard from an undisclosed source inside his camp that he suffers from fraktiphobia, Greek for "a fear of fences" following Aldo's KO of him, and it has made him unable to go near a fence and Jose Aldo at the same time. Flashbacks of the loss are also rumored to have caused him to flee the scene of a bar fight he was in last year, though I can't officially confirm any of this

I wouldn't blame him, since the fence was instrumental in helping Aldo beat him.

(I just looked up the Greek word for fence and attached it to the word phobia, I have no idea if such a phobia exists or what it's called :) )

Tomato Can - I don't see anything wrong with the Gamburyan matchup. It seems pretty sensible.

I wanna know why they're not pushing Robbie Peralta up the ladder. He beat Takaya (DREAM FW champ) in Strikeforce and in his most recent fight he destroyed Jason Young in 23 seconds, and his next opponent is ... Akira Corassani?

Yes it is rather sensible for the #1 ranked contender to face the #20 ranked fighter who has lost 3 of his last 4, only beating a guy who has lost 5 of his last 6.

I don't consider Mendes to be a #1 contender no matter what the "official" rankings say.

It is what the new official rankings say. Phone Post

I know, that exactly why I said "no matter what the official rankings say".
