Aoki would lose to the majority of the top 10 LHW's in the UFC

Yeah saw some youtubage...I was a bit disappointed in his triangles from what I saw...the clip had 'em do like 3 or so and he didn't choke anyone out with any of them. He had to keep adjusting and turned it into a GNP hold instead of a sub.
No hate I'd have to be more aware of 'em...but BJ has been dominating in more facets of the game other than subs.▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #56 ▪█─────█▪

There is no specific way rankings "work" in MMA or any sport where record alone can't determine the ranking, hence the controversy every year over the BCS rankings.
Now, you've admitted BJ would likely beat Aoki. Do you think Aoki can take a higher % of the top 5 than BJ on a consistent basis? The top 10?
