... I will include the records (or as much as I can). I thought about the Pro/Ammy thing. I think I'm just going to go overall. It's going to take 7 weeks between each divisions vote, if I did pro AND ammy it would be way too much waiting for the next poll. |

... The whole ranking thing is too subjective. How do you justify a fighters ranking? We can use records but records in this sport can be very decieving. Most fighters with amazing records have very few quality opponents on their resume, while several .500 fighters have many quality opponents on their resume. Myself I see rankings as a pointless popularity contest that will further the movement to build fighters records like they do in boxing and we will see less and less competive mma fights as fighters look to move on to bigger shows out of state. |

... I kind of agree with you, but I think rankings can help build great fights. i think rankins shoudl be because of your record, and because of who you fought. |

... 'fan', you make very solid points and things I have thought much about, and one of the reasons I really don't want to include records (especially for ammys). But, I know each promotion has their own individual ranking system for their own promotion (see martialartsradio.com). I want to try and make one overall ranking. And yes, I think it's going to turn into more of a popularity contest than anything. But, it will be the voice of the fighters and fans and that is what this site is about. Hopefully people take the ranking with a big grain of salt and don't put too much weight in them. |

... I am not sure if it is even worth the effort if you truly think that it is going to end up being a popularity contest more than anything. Is there a ranking system in the Colorado MMA community or are promoters just throwing 2 guys in the same weight class in the ring together? |

... I am going to do two different polls each week, one for pro and one for amateurs. Can't wait to see how this goes. |

... Oh, ladies can vote too!!! Kidding. I think we should add a week of women 'fighter' whether they be MMA or kickboxers. |

... I like it. Thanks for taking the iniative. Some will love it some will hate it but we will ALL keep up with it.. hahahaha Bet I will vote for who i think is the best fighter in each division. I think it will create matchups the fans want to see among ammys |

... It will also be interesting to see how many people have seen a lot of the fighters. Some of the local guys have only fought on Kickdown, some only on either NME or TOS, so it will give us a good idea of how many people actually go to shows. |
