Wikipedia is not a place for subjective rankings made by a single niche website. MMA PFP rankings are highly contentious, and meaningless from a practical point of view since these fighters rarely fight each other. There is no authoritative PFP list, so there should not be a page for any of them. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 19:36, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Agree with nom, we absolutely should not have an article for one specific site's pound for pound list. Yaksar (let's chat) 06:35, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete – Seems like indiscriminate information to me, and I don't think we can consider one website the main authority in this regard without sourcing indicating that.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:34, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete It's true that pound for pound rankings are meaningless and completely subjective. However, the real reason this article should be deleted is that this article gives no reason why its subject is notable and has no independent sources that might show notability.

 * Comment – I don't see why this list is anymore worthy of deletion than boxing's Ring Magazine pound for pound list, Sherdog is the largest & longest running MMA site in the world, they are also the MMA content partner for ESPN. Its fight finder is used to link to fighter records on every mixed martial artist's page on wikipedia. If notability is a problem I can find plenty of sources. --Phospheros (talk) 15:04, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
