He didn't make a ranking.  He just typed it out in a forum thread.  The Brenneman/Story/Alves thing bothered me too.  Major upsets always throw off the rankings for a while.  I settled it by bumping all 3 of them out of my top 10 (11, 12, and 13) for now until they all have more fights and we see if those wins were flukes or what.

@Dakej thats a reasonable solution to it and I think i'll follow suit...I was reluctant to even have Story that high after he beat Alves but the Brenneman win just screwed up everything even more

I responded to 2 before I realized they just made a mistake...  @Lady.. click the "RANKINGS" link up at the top and you can create/amend your own rankings at will.. and other members will be able to post comments in that section.

Carlos Condit moves to #3 while DHK drops to #9. Condit and Fitch have faced the better opposition, and deserve to be #2 and #3. That's really hard for me to say too, because I'm not a fan of Fitch at all.

It's sparking some decent discussion about rankings, so no big deal I guess.

Yeah.. I haven't updated my rankings since the UFC event quite yet.  I am busy as heck at work this week (holiday weekend).  But I can tell you there will be some obvious moves/edits to my WW rankings.

Why are you putting Diaz above GSP?  Craziness.

@ladylover Because you are the only one delusional enough to put Diaz above GSP. Also Tyrone Woodley is a good prospect but has yet to accomplish anything remotely notable in MMA. Him being on your list is beyond baffling.

Woodley is a top 20 welterweight. If he beats Paul Daley you could make an argument to slip him into the top 10, but I probably wouldn't.

If Woodley beats Daley which I believe he will he will make the top 15 in my rankings.

tyron woodley in top 10 equals lorenz larkin in top 10....PURE INSANITY!

next...although im of the belief gsp will lose to diaz, i believe gsp has shut me up more than enough to warrant a number one slot...

DHK drops out of my top 10...which may be harsh, considering its his only loss...but i can't pick some one to take out...so he's at 11...

shields vs kos would be awesome to see...just throwing that out there because shields is almost never brought up as a potential opponent for kos...

at the same time...fitch is where great talent goes to get a loss...his style is suffocating, but he's worse than gsp in every area...Dana white prolly sees this as well, hence the LONG list of "contender" fights...he wants fitch to finish someone, or at least look impressive...or lose...but NEITHER is happening..

and, did i miss something, or why is jake ellenberger only on one other persons list? i believe he's really good, but yall dont agree? please explain....
