Before anyone says how the hell is Penn so low, last months rankings said penn is low due to only having one fight at lw.

Where did these come from? Did you make em? Good rankings overall, no one can make rankings that everyone is gonna like but thats prolly one of the better ones iv'e seen in a while

I cant wait for Serra to lose that #1 Spot

I still don't understand why BJ is so low. That make 0 sense period. He's a LW now.

HW is perfect but why is Lyoto so low in the LHW part?he should at least be in the top 3

Edit: where the hell is Soko?

I don't understand how the hell Couture is higher than Big Nog.

To be honest, what has Big Nog done that Couture hasnt? Personally I think Couture would beat Nog and I'm not a Couture fan. Nog has no take down defense at all and is very prone to GNP via Fedor.

Nog vs Couture would be a very bad style matchup for Nog to me.

Sorry guys there is the link to the rankings.

Cro Cop and AA should be switched in heavyweight.

Henderson needs to be removed from the lhw, and he isn't top 2, just doesn;t seem right.

Shogun above wanderi.

Need sure if tito belongs however he is ranked above soko imo and would beat soko.

mw is good.

Sheilds is too low

Steveson too high.

overall i like them, i would really like to see most sites go to at least top 15 in each division.

Smoogy's is still the man because he goes to 20.

On paper Nog has the much better resume though, he's beatin way more top fighters than Randy.
