    I love the guy to death but Shogun shouldn't be that high based on his last outing, that was awful.

    Also why is Gomi ranked so far ahead of JZ and Penn?

    Actually, looking at it, most of this is bull****.

    I think with Arlovski having 3 wins over solid opponets recently and Sylvia losing 2 of 3 id swap them two guys. Fitch over Hughes is bull****. How did Henderson go below #4 ?

    I didn't even go past Dan Handerson. BJ at #7? This is bs rankings. I think who ever was doing this list got more and more fed up with it as he went down the weight classes...

    Why is Barnett so high? Serious question, I don't know too much about the guy. What has he done lately to be ranked above, say, Arlovski or Sylvia?
