Would Aldo's skillset be able to hang with Werdum if they weighed the exact same amount? I don't think so personally, but I'm sure there can be arguments for both sides and a good debate could come of it.

There's no real good argument that Ronda belongs with the top dogs of the P4P rankings. There isn't a parallel universe where she has the skillset to beat average male fighters at BW already, let alone the current P4P greats.

Ronda belongs in the same rankings as male MMA fighters in the same sense that Lisa Leslie deserved to be on the list of best basketball players when she was a star in the WNBA.

Isn't Ronda being one of, possibly THE best women's fighter enough for her huge supporters? Why does she need to be on a P4P list to make some happy? She doesn't belong.

Basically P4P lists in MMA don't mean a whole lot, like popularity contests. Its not a true measure of skill, but then on the other hand something can be said if your are considered the P4P best. They just don't throw that title around loosely.
