The Phantom Knee Official Pound For Pound Rankings

Everyone does them and now so do we. Only difference being: ours is definitive.

10. Pat 'HD' Barry
Having confessed to his hero, Mirko Crocop, he'd fucked himself up during their recent bout, Barry gained even more respect from us here at The Knee. Goes to show that nice guys don't always finish last. Oh. He has.

9. Stefan 'Skyscraper' Struve
At UFC 117, Struve's lip ballooned in size so much, he could practically trip over it. This guy is 9ft 3" tall! However, that's not the reason why he has made the grade, he won our 'spirit of fair play' award by throwing a sneaky leg kick whilst touching gloves - we salute you big man!

8. Forrest Griffin
Sure he looked pedestrian against Anderson 'The Spider' Silva, and flatly refuses to fight overseas, but he puts the man into man. Let's face it, his new book 'Be Ready When The Shit Goes Down' is the most anticipated sequel since the Bible.

7. Paul 'Semtex' Daley
Having just signed a multi fight deal with Strikeforce, his career looks back on track after the Down-Under debacle. Watch out welterweight wrestlers - he's out for blood!

6. Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He may be banned from driving in real life, but through the magic of movies, he can still drive the iconic A-Team van without reproach.

5. The Korean Zombie
Why so high? The undead are super cool. Imagine if he didn't stop the ground 'n pound when the ref asked him? And he just carried on and on until his opponents head was mush. And then he started feasting on their grey matter. Think about it!

4. Warmachine
Keep checking back to The Phantom Knee for details on our fundraising mission to mail him a tub of Mutant Mass protein powder with a file hidden inside. 25 days inside so far - we're pulling for ya bro!

3. Miguel Torres
Fighting and philosophy go together like chips and cat shit. Which means not very well, you sick bastards - unless you're Miguel Torres. Follow his Twitter - see the light.

2. Jon Fitch
Common sense dictates that Fitch wouldn't normally feature in any normal pound-for-pound list, yet he continues to do so. We're now privvy to his secret. He laid on top of us until we agreed to put him at number two. It took 13 hours.

1. Tom 'Filthy' Lawlor
Many people speculate as to who the future of MMA might be. Todd 'He-Man' Duffee? Jon 'Bones' Jones? Frankie 'The Answer' Edgar? F*** off, yeah? Coming off a 'character building' two fight losing streak, Lawlor is still our man!


Feel free to argue this accross the entire internerd, but just know that we are right.
