1. 1

   

   Junior dos Santos

   "Cigano"

   21-10-0

   Junior is going to be on top for a while.
   

2. 2

   

   Cain Velasquez

   14-3-0

   Cain may not have been 100 percent against JDS, but I still think he loses a rematch. He stays at number 2 though.
   

3. 3

   

   Alistair Overeem

   "The Demolition Man"

   47-19-0, 1 NC

   I'm excited to see how he deals with Lesnar.
   

4. 4

   

   Brock Lesnar

   5-3-0, 1 NC

   One win away from a shot at the belt.
   

5. 5

   

   Shane Carwin

   "The Engineer"

   12-2-0

   Carwin didn't look good in losing to Dos Santos, but he's still a great fighter nonetheless.
   

6. 6

   

   Fabrício Werdum

   "Vai Cavalo"

   24-9-1, 1 NC

7. 7

   

   Josh Barnett

   "The Warmaster"

   35-8-0

   Barnett has a somewhat easy path to the finals of the Strikeforce GP
   

8. 8

   

   Frank Mir

   19-13-0

   Mir dominated Nelson.
   

9. 9

   

   Daniel Cormier

   "DC"

   Looked tremendous against Bigfoot.
   

10. 10

    

    Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira

    "Minotauro"

    34-10-1, 1 NC

    Shocked the world in beating Schuab.
    

11+

11. 11

    

    Cheick Kongo

    "The Darkness"  |  31-12-2, 1 NC

    Coming off two good wins.
    

12. 12

    

    Antônio Silva

    "BigFoot"  |  19-15-0, 1 NC

    Needs to improve drastically to remain at the top level. Cormier showed some big holes in his game.
    

13. 13

    

    Roy Nelson

    "Big Country"  |  23-19-0

    Looked improved against Cro Cop.
    

14. 14

    

    Travis Browne

    "Hapa"  |  18-7-1

    Great performance against Struve, not so great against Broughton despite the win.
    

15. 15

    

    Stefan Struve

    "The Skyscraper"  |  29-13-0

    If he could learn to use his reach (a la Semmy Schilt) he could be a serious contender.
    

16. 16

    

    Matt Mitrione

    13-9-0, 1 NC

    We saw some holes in his game against Kongo. He is still young though and could improve.
    

17. 17

    

    Brendan Schaub

    "Big Brown"  |  10-5-0

    Has a chance for redemption against Werdum.
    

18. 18

    

    Pat Barry

    "HD"  |  8-7-0

19. 19

    

    Mike Russow

    15-3-0, 1 NC

    Russow had a great come from behind finish of Duffee, but it was not a very impressive performance, he caught Duffee after getting beat up for the majority of the fight. He has a big test in front of him in Jon Madsen, whom he should be able to outwrestle, and defeat.
    

20. 20

    

    Fedor Emelianenko

    "The Last Emperor"  |  40-7-0, 1 NC

    Wow. It's crazy that Fedor has dropped off of the top 10
    

21. 21

    

    Todd Duffee

    9-4-0, 1 NC

    Duffee is a beast, regardless of what people say. He ko'd Hague in 7 seconds. He dominated Russow for 2.5 rounds. He only had a week to prepare for one of the best Heavyweights in the world, no one could win that fight. I believe Duffee will put together an impressive string of wins very soon.
    

22. 22

    

    Cole Konrad

    "The Polar Bear"  |  9-0-0

    Konrad has the skills to be great. He has excellent wrestling and, of course, size. He needs to fix his cardio problems before seeing higher competition.
    

23. 23

    

    Christian Morecraft

    8-3-0

    Morecraft is certainly on the weaker end of the division, but he has some very serious ground and pound when he's on top, he just needs to find a way to get there.
    

24. 24

    

    Jon Madsen

    8-2-0

25. 25

    

    Dave Herman

    "Pee-Wee"  |  22-6-0
