And to answer some of the other questions I've read through so far. I already explained that the #10 spot is simply up in the air. Edgar beat up Tyson, and Maynard made Frankie look insignificant at LW. Melendez would still be top ten if he hadn't lost to Ishida, and Ishida would still be top ten if he hadn't lost to Uno (who is a great fighter, but nowhere near top ten for a long time). Nate Diaz has done very well lately, and I honestly don't see Maynard being able to beat him in a rematch.

Sadly in the HW class, a win is a win, and Frank Mir beat the #2 HW in the world (lame stoppage), and knee barred the current HW champ in 90 seconds. That's much more impressive than AA beating barely top 15-20 Rothwell, and Nelson. Can you really justify either of those two being ranked higher than Sergei, Alistair, Aleks, Werdum, Gonzaga, or Dos Santos?
