I really hope they can squeeze a few more fighters than that into the game though and I hope they dont waste too many spots on the HW division.

You have to consider showmanship as well as viability. groves was a TUF winner and I will agree with his recent losses he took quite a hit, but he is an impressive MW, and a character. Just like Pelligrino in the LW division. Jason Mcdonald is nothing special, he is bland, boring, and does not really bring a fan base. Grove by winning TUF has a huge fan base, has an exciting style, granted a cpl of bad losses, but he is definitely more marketable in a Game than Macdonald. Herman has no business being in the game. Werdum has terrible stand up, and he should be rated accordingly. I agree they are overrating Gonzaga only because he has the one quality win over Cro Cop.

Also I know for a fact Joe Lauzon will be in the game he has been at the Development offices and images captured for the game. It owuld be a shame if they left out Pelligrino though as he is a tough guy, a colorful character, and a good fighter, even with his recent loss to Nate Diaz.

Also the way they are conducting there rankings is retarded. You have to take there overall resume into account not just 1 on 1 matches. For example, While Rampage has beaten Chuck, Chuck has beaten Silva, and Silva has dominated Rampage. So there is no fair way to rate based on 1 to 1 matchups. You have to take there overall career into account [Reply]
