YEah Hendo is a little low in light heavyweight, but other than that I also agree, they look good for the most part.

na I dont like it.

how can you have serra as the #1 welterweight? If their basing that based off of him winning the title in a upset fashion how is cro crop ahead of coture after getting knocked out?

Lindland is also coming off of a loss and is ahead of anderson silva. and shrek the 10th best lightwegiht? the fu*k...

Why do they call Big Nog by his full name....his brother has the same fu*kin name....UFC has Big Nog(and will call him this) listed as Minotauro Noguiera so there will be no confusion.

"Lindland is also coming off of a loss and is ahead of anderson silva. and shrek the 10th best lightwegiht? the fu*k..."

First off Lindland is coming off a loss againt Fedor who is the best fighter in the world, and a heavyweight.

Second off, Sean Sherk is 10 because he's had the belt for ONE fight at lightweight. How can you have one fight at lightweight in the recent YEARS and be ranked any better? He was a welterweight for so long and got owned by Hughes and GSP that he dropped down. I promise if he gets a couple lightweight fights under his belt and continues to win he will fly up those ranks.

Yes but lindland still lost. Im not saying hes not great to have him 1 after a loss and yet move serra 1 seems wierd to me.

I agree Serra should not be #1

I dont like these at all...

Henderson shouldnt be ranked in 2 weight classes, and Penn shouldnt be a WW.

I also dont understand Serra's ranking. if that logic stands, Couture should be above CroCop and Gonzaga.

same thing with Koscheck, he's had one win over a top fighter...which was FAR from impressive. Sanchez should still be ranked higher. he's had better fights, against better opponents, and won them.

Diaz should be ranked, even though his win against Gomi was stripped...everyone knows he won. and very impressively.

Many people in the MMA world agree with you on everything stated, however Hendo should indeed be ranked in two weight classes as he holds two belts, plain and simple. He will likely only be fighting in light heavyweight in the UFC though.

shogun vs rampage....coming soon

And as much as Rampage says he wants it.....................we all know he doesn't.

There aren't any ropes to try and escape through in the Octagon.

owned by hughes? hughes barely beat him and niggas was so scared of him afterwards that they wouldnt fight him because of the hughes fight, i dont think sherk should be #1, but he should be higher than 10
