I've said this before, but on the eve of bringing back our official Frate Trane list, I'll mention it again. Rankings are senseless, egotistical and elitist. What does the term 'pound-for-pound' even mean? I've been told that it's the potential for a fighter to take on any other fighter in any other division regardless of weight. Even that explanation is just as silly as the notion of journalists dictating who is 'better' at MMA, a sport they've never attempted.

So if any MMA website can manifest their own vague and arbitrary ranking system, so can we. I don't know what pound-for-pound is, but I can recognize a 'Frate Trane' when I see it.

It feels like I'm a member of an elite group of MMA geeks who spaz out on internet memes so unknown that I'll probably never get laid for the rest of my life. Sorry about that guys. Let me enlighten you on where exactly all of this 'frate trane' nonsense originated from. Two years ago, a guy named jkdandforrestfan created a thread on The UG entitled 'Brock Lesnar = unstoppable frate train' shortly after Lesnar put that brutal pounding on Heath Herring. The word 'freight' was so obviously misspelled, yet the author insisted that everyone was just 'nitpicking' over his 'little typo'. For those of you who failed 3rd grade English, 'Freight' is nowhere near 'Frate'. It's like the dude hit the 'ate' key and accidentally pushed enter. I guess you had to be there (or just be an incredibly vigilant MMA geek) to understand.

Now we've established an entire ranking system based on some guy's 'typo' on The UG. Our own Bauzen thought of the idea, and we just ran with it. We won't give any explanation as to why the fighters we chose are on the list. You will just have to accept it, much like the nonsensical idea of a pound-for-pound ranking system. After each major MMA event, our list will be revised (if necessary) and a green arrow pointing up next to a person's name will indicate that he/she has elevated in our Frate Trane List. Alternatively, a red arrow pointing down will indicate that the fighter has lowered in our listing. I know MiddleEasy garners a rather intelligent audience, so I don't have to necessarily tell you that all of this is an elaborate parody on how much we think all ranking systems are senseless.

You can view the official MiddleEasy Frate Trane List on right of every article on MiddleEasy.com. You can also view the Frate Trane List on the front page of MiddleEasy.com on the right side of the page. In order to bring up the discussion page of the Frate Trane list, there will be a link on and just below the 'Frate Trane' picture.

Can I just point out, that Bauzen did not come up with the idea of the Frate Trane List. I emailed the idea to you while I was awake in the middle of the night in Bangkok. Low and behold, a few days later, the list appears and Bauzen takes the glory. Coincidence?

Aha! I just accidentally stumbled across the original email, sent as confirmation of receipt by middleeasy!

Wappan,

Having today seen Brock Lesnar referred to as a 'Frate Trane' in part two of Primetime, I was left with an enduring question. A question which will haunt me until I know the answer. This is where you come in middleeasy. Who are the top ten 'Frate Trains' in MMA? Perhaps more pertinently, how does a 'Frate Trane' differ, if at all, from a 'Freight Train'? It would therefore also be useful if you could assemble a top ten list of 'freight trains' for comparative purposes.

For instance you might argue that while Alastair Overeem's lats have a spread equal to or greater than the wingspan of an Andean Condor, the "Great White Juice Wagon" which commenced service on June 7, 1971 could transport over 15,000 tones of Tropicana over a 1,250 mile route. I bet not even the Reem could do that.

love you

bye

And as much as I dislike the idea of "beating Brock Lesnar means something big", when JDS defeats Brock-- I think it's high time he makes his way into the FRATE TRANE.

So i've noticed the only ufc fighter you have up there is Jose Aldo who I mean is still kinda WEC since he hasn't fought for the ufc yet, belt aside. Is that on purpose? Does the ufc really not have all the elite competition as they claim to do or is it that the fighters they do have just aren't as interesting or as full of rawesomeness as the ones you have listed above.

Why did you clowns overlook Carlos condit, Daniel cormier and Luke rockhold and put in a Japanese fighter (we all know japanese fighters are beat up guys), a Olympic wrestler who doesn't know that mma involves striking and hector lombard who is a professional can crusher!

Aldo hasn't destroyed anyone in ages (neither has Askren but at least he pisses people off and has cool hair.) Andy will be out till summer as well so take him off. Throw on Bones Jones because he's the definition of Frate Trane, Joe Lauzon cause he's a hardcore gamer and already has 8 FOTN bonuses (to Lytles 10 and he's gotten 6 straight) and of COURSE Ian 'Uncle Creepy' Mc Call. Anyone with a 'tache like this and a nickname like that deserves recognition.

And as much as I like to watch rousey fight, she just beat meisha tate and you put her higher than mark hunt and ben henderson? Stop insulting people with actual skill by putting them on a list of wrestle fuckers and can crushers.

Is this site retarded? Ronda rousey has no place on this list and neither does askren. And this might be a controversial opinion but Alistair Overeem should aswell. I know the argument that "your kidding yourself if you think that fighters don't dope" very well, but 14 times greater then normal levels of humans and then says he needs trt and eats horsemeat? No, get him off this list. Askren is the Jake shields of the lightweight division! and where the hell is cormier! His life story and accomplishments should make him more than eligible to be on this list!

Askren moves up to #6 before the title fight. So I guess he will move up into the top 5 after he successfully defends later this month. Haters going to hate, and Askren's going to win, again...and again, and again. What is the fundamental difference between what Cain did to Junior and the way Askren fights? Aside from one lucky punch in the first round, nothing. Superior wrestling, a bunch of GNP, and not a single sincere attempt to finish the fight on the ground despite having countless opportunities to collect the arm or neck. Didn't here Dana going all Ambien on Cain. Hypocrites.

+4 # EastSide 2013-01-27 15:25

Just reviewed the five names above Askren and it looks like Ben has to remain at #6, regardless of his ridiculously dominant performance over Amoussou. The Askren/Amoussou fight was exactly the same as Velasquez/dos Santos 2.0. A telling strike in the first round, then GNP to the face until unrecognizable. Both had submissions being fully offered-up by their rag-dolled victims. Neither seemed to want a submission; both seemed content to watch the blood flow. Cain walked away with a decision after 5 rounds, Askren the TKO after 3. Bellator needs to find better competition of their champions to fight.

"I know MiddleEasy garners a rather intelligent audience, so I don't have to necessarily tell you that all of this is an elaborate parody on how much we think all ranking systems are senseless."

Judging by the 100's of comments above, apparently the author DOES necessarily have to tell everyone. Unless they're trying to parody a parody and everyone's joking about how serious they are in debating the list. In which case, that's stupid. You never parody a parody.

4)GSP(lets be real here, you motherfuckers put Ben Askren of all at people at number 6. GSP is a way better fighter, way less boring, and has fought and dominated in one of the most stacked division against legends and elites)

5) Ronda Rousey(more dominant in her fights than GSP but she scores lower since she hasnt fought as stiff competition and hasnt defended the belt nearly enough)

6-10

K Jon Jones would beat anyone on this list and he's ten (yes even Anderson.) I simply cannot understand this logic. Is popularity a factor in this because that's the only conclusion I can draw. Jon Jones is the most dangerous fighter in MMA and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. No one has the combination of athleticism, size, and skill he possesses...and the fact that he's as young as he is.
