Carwin knows how it feels to be ranked by MMA Journalists and bloggers, so he decides to turn things around by creating his own rankings for the people who cover the sport. Here is Shane Carwin's top 10 MMA Bloggers, which includes two writers under the SBNation umbrella:

Is that his top ten list if they fought in the cage? Come on, I’d at least put Jesse ahead of Maggie Hendricks! Geez.

Maggie sucks. She is the TMZ of MMA.

On a serious note, I like this post. I didn’t know some of these sites even existed. Like the first one for example.

by Jackanapes on Apr 3, 2010 1:11 PM EDT reply actions  

yeah!

i agree! had no idea some of these existed..but just checked out #1 and that site kicks ass!

sorry jesse i promise to keep coming here and view/comment

but that site is pretty damn good for mma news

Nice design too . . . though the MMA fighters photoshopped with women’s hairstyles is a bit out there. Haha. And I just watched — I hadn’t seen or heard it before — old footage of a college football game where Forrest Griffin sacks the QB and starts head-butting dudes with his helmet off.

been checking it out for a while, its more humors then actual news at times. mania destroys it. tho they have some killer polls sometimes

I don’t really like the site tbh. Interesting but a little too out there for me.

Great, we’ll get the ones from lower ranked sites, which will only drag down the quality of posts here.

I've been on most those sites besides the first one wich I never heard of

And I still like mania the best overall. And now that Ive been here it’s going to be hard to leave.

I already found one, check out NJMMAfan's post in the "Frankie pizza" entry...

“The videos he released of his training show nothing that tells me he has anything for Edgar. All BJ has on Frankie is jiu-Jitsu and even that is not THAT great of an advantage. I don’t think BJ can swap punches with Frankie and Frankie’s wrestling will help neutralize any weakness he may have in Jiu-Jitsu.
I had to laugh of the video of BJ Penn screaming and carrying on while pushing a 25 pound plate. Nothing I have seen of BJ’s training tells me he won’t gas on Edgar.
I know this breaks the hearts of all the BJ Penn Baby-mama wannabees out there but don’t cry too hard on April 10th when Penn is handing over the belt.
I agree nothing in this world is guaranteed but Edgar has much more than punchers chance here”

I guess Sherdog didn't make the cut.

I'd put Cagepotato right up there for writing/blogging

In terms of best overall site, it goes to Mania.

Yeah, I agree. Cagepotato has good writing.

Shane Carwin's Top 10 MMA Journalists

MMA Journalists

1) Jeremy Botter – Heavy.com
2) Kevin Iole – Yahoo MMA
3) Ariel Helwani – Fanhouse.com
4) Mike Chippetta – Fanhouse.com
5) Franklin Mcneil – ESPN.com
6) John Morgan – MMA Junkie
7) Dann Stupp – MMA Junkie
8) Jeff Cain – MMA Weekly
9) Ken Pisnia MMA Weekly
10) Fight Magazine (will get name)
Honorable Mentions: Loretta Hunt, Steven Marrocco, Ben Fowlkes

The one thing I like about this list – Showdown Joe’s not on it.

Kevin Iole shouldn’t be that high. He puts out alot of work, but I haven’t seen him interview a fighter and he’s pretty much Dana’s little bitch. Steve Cofield and Dave Farra are way better.

Franklin McNeil sucks.

Ariel Helwani should be up there for #1. Can’t think of someone better right now.

Shill iole is an idiot d-bag.

He use to sit next to the sherdog guys and bash the UFC back in the day but once it caught on, his tongue tightly warped itself around dana’s anus.

Loretta Hunt is a bitch

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm a little bit scared of what comes after

I think Dana White said as much.

Kinda cool

I haven’t even heard of the top 5 beating Mania’s Jesse….

Still congrats.

Cool post Anton.
