The only change in my top 5 looks like JDS/Cain...Brock will grind out Over(ated)eem and Mir is gonna KO Nog again...Barnett has to be the favorite to win the GP right now

Man... those rankings give me gag reflexes @wolf! My top 5 will only change if Silva loses to Dan. The bottom half could change rather drastically.

My future forecast rankings are based on the fact that I think Brock will lose and if Mir wins.. I'd put him at 6...

Than change you ratings then. For now JDS has not beaten Cain. I never understand why people make rankings on their predictions.

Also Mitrione 5th? Russow? I know you like them but most of your ranking is a like ranking not a fighter achievement ranking. Makes little sense to me.

@Wolf why do you response to critique with critique? READ MY PREVIOUS POST - My rankings have not been updated for 2 months!

well maybe you should have redone them before you said something to me. everybody around here knows i do my rankings to fights that will happen soon. i think jds beats velasquez. i think barnett would have beat cormier((i don't think the SF grand prix gets finished) and when he comes over to the ufc will win alot. i think mitrione knocks out kongo and russow is 3-0 in the ufc and he lost his upcoming  fight to a guy who was caught cheating. that answer your questions.

Overeem and Cain swap places in the rankings. Lesnar's retirement means he's been dropped off the rankings and so everyone from #5 to #8 moves up one place. Cole Konrad is a new entry at #9 And I've decided to put Kongo in at #10.
