The latest MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings were released today, This system ranks the Top 10 MMA fighters from all across the world in each of the seven most widely accepted weight classes.
Taken into consideration are a fighter's performance in addition to his win-loss record, head-to-head and common opponents, difficulty of opponents, and numerous other factors in what is the most comprehensive rankings system in the sport.
Fighters who are currently serving drug-related suspensions are not eligible for Top 10 consideration until they have fought one time after the completion of their suspension.

Nog is too high imo. I like Anderson on 205. Prob higher though in skills. Carwin should prob be a little higher.
If you are gonna rank anderson in the 205 division he has to be higher. I think he'd be favored against any of the 4 fighters above him at 205, which is all that really matters. Also Shogun needs to be ranked above Rashad I think.
Couture is nowhere near the #6 HW in the world, and Frank Mir at #3 is laughable. Agree with Turner that Carwin should be higher.
Middleweight rankings are right on.
Hughes is probably too high at welterweight, I think Swick should be higher.
I don't know as much about lightweight or the divisions below it.
it's strange how vitor belfort has never fought in the ufc at middleweight but is ranked on this list (i know it's for other organizations too) and is getting a title shot right away.
after fedor's fight against rogers, i'm sure brock would beat him. there was one point where rogers had fedor down and it looked like there'd be a tko. if fedor had made that same mistake against brock, the fight would have been over.
for the welterweights i think dan hardy should be listed especially if the winner between he and swick this weekend is supposed to be the next fight for gsp.
apart from the ufc events on each of the next saturdays, there's wec 44 sandwiched between them on wednesday the 18th where mike brown fights jose aldo. i'm thinking this fight will be better than any on the two ufc cards.
KofC Thanksgiving gathering?
Friday?
I've stopped checking the blog because it takes so goddamn long to scroll through the UFC post to see if there are new comments.
Not that I have any idea what you guys are talking about.
unky you can view recent comments on the right, no need to scroll anywhere
