As always, this is about contenders for the title, not overall talent. Before you comment, check the previous rankings for a better understanding of what I am trying to do. On a side note, I have adjusted some of the rankings and now fighters from other organizations, once signed (or "true" enough rumor) will also be taken into consideration. Full comments and feedback response to follow tomorrow afternoon. Enjoy.....

For the most part looks good, a few things I would change, but good work. I think a lot of these guys will be out of the picture soon if more of the Pride Rosters come over though. Only time will tell.

[InfamousMP]

Quick Side Note: I will be leaving Sherk and Franca in the LW rankings until we have confirmation on the suspensions.

[Shaydawg]

HW- I dont like Vera ahead of CC at this point because it has been too long since he has fought. Also flip O'brien and Werdum.

LHW-I like Machida above Ortiz and Rashad and Ortiz above Rashad.

MW- I would just drop Swick out of the top 10 because he is not fighting there anymore but I understand why you put him there.

WW- I would put Karo and GSP above Kos and it would be perfect.

LW- I would swap Din and Huerta.


Overall you did a very good job of just UFC rankings IMO.

[WBC Rezen]

Thiago Tavares should be top ten for literally making Jason Black (A great fighter with a great record) look like an amateur.

At LW your ranking fighters that haven't even fought in the UFC at LHW yet. So at LW why would you leave out Maximus at LW?

[Iron Hand]

Pretty good.

Tito over Rashad.
Machida over Rashad and Tito.

Take Vera of the ranking since it was a long time since he fought.

John Allesio, Kieth Wisniewski (at the time), Antonio McKee and Ivan Menjivar are good fighters.
