Travis Marx is undefeated in the BW division and has recently had a fairly close fight with top-ranked Masakatsu Ueda (the last man to defeat current Bellator champ Eduardo Dantas), and pulled through as the winner in the end. Now let's look at the rankings...

Masakatsu Ueda - #16
Travis Marx - #33

Other abnormalities currently infesting our rankings:
#5 Scott Jorgensen over #6 Renan Barao despite Barao's domination of him.
#11 Zach Makovsky over #13 Eduardo Dantas despite Dantas choking him out after a strong performance
#10 Takeya Mizugaki over #16 Chris Cariaso despite losing a (close) decision to him recently

Sure the last Bellator was this past Friday, but Marx needs some love.

I think rankings should be based on accomplishment, which makes me question anyone who has Barao above Faber. I'm not saying I'll pick Faber in that fight but at this point I think he's earned the #2 spot.

Future top 10ers -- Tamura, Perez, Vaculik, Carson Beebe and Brandon Bender. And whoever wins in the Easton/Menjivar fight (any thoughts?).

Using your own logic, shouldn't you have Bowles ahead of Barao then?  I think rankings should be based on a few factors... all being current factors.  What a fighter has done in his career.. a year or two ago.. is most likely irrelevant to his current ranking... just my thoughts.
