Something like that. Maybe a win will push him back, espically if he's named #1 contender afterwards.

Good list @Mysticalninja

I just don't agree with Bisping and think Leben is a bit high. At least you give Lombard his credit. But why oh why is Sonnen not on your list? Just out of extreme dislike lol?

Sonnen not on due to his suspension and lack of activity (though admittedly the latter factor is a bit minor). Sonnen wins against Stann and he's pretty much #6 if not #5.

Leben is #9 because before his (brutal) win he lost (in brutal fashion) and though he got a knock out against a very established oppenent, I also see Wanderlei as on the slide (even before his encounter with Leben). Bisping - hate him or not - has been on a nice little roll and so has Miller. Miller and Bisping were higher in the list but Munoz and Stann deserved to be ahead of them.

Well I'm leaving him out as he lost to Silva, Okami is the next #1 contender and even without inactivity he got suspended and has only just come out of that. More power to those who keep Sonnen in the rankings but I just can't do it ^_^

Not too sure. Better check the Light Heavyweight rankings lol.

So what means that he dosen't qualify as #2. I've stated the main reason he's off completly is due to his suspension. If not for his suspension I'd put him at either #5 or #6.

So you'd have Sonnen behind someone he dominated less then 2 years ago? And no I'm not talking about Anderson!!

Okami is the legit #1 contender. Not "oh he should be the next person to fight Silva" but IS the next person to fight Silva. So in my mind that makes him the second ranked guy. I mean God forbid* if Okami beats Anderson Silva, does that mean Sonnen leapfrogs to #1 because he beat Okami two years ago?

I'd have no idea where Okami would be if Sonnen was not suspended because Sonnen would be fighting and thus we'd have different matches and rankings in theory (butterfly effect and all that). But it is what it is.

lol these debates are fun. Why we need a chat room ^_^

*Seriously if Anderson Silva loses, it will be because I jinxed him by saying that sentence

I wonder if Okami beat Anderson if Silva would get the immediate rematch regardless of how the fight ended

Chael hasn't fought in nearly a year and that's why he isn't in my rankings. After his fight with Stann and pending the result, i'll decide where he fits back in.

He won't be cutting Anderson, he was just on Opie and Anthony calling him the greatest P4P fighter ever, do you really think he can cut a guy after saying that?

Ok, if people are going to leave Chael out of the top 10 due to inactivity, they've also got to take out Belfort who doesn't have a win @ MW since 2009.

i just dont see how getting freak koed by the champ drops belfort down so low. i see a lot of people having him lower than #8.
