His last fight was at MW. I've mentioned this before, tapology isn't always consistent where it will let you rank guys when they change divisions.

This division has only gotten more interesting lately.  As far as Askren, yes he's still a top WW but is getting lost due to ONE's new weigh-in policies.

I rank 'em up to 30 so here's the rest:

11) Rick Story 
12) Gunnar Nelson 
13) Lorenz Larkin 
14) Ryan LaFlare 
15) Tarec Saffiedine 
16) Neil Magny 
17) Albert Tumenov 
18) Jake Ellenberger 
19) Dong Hyun Kim 
20) Matt Brown 
21) Andrey Koreshkov 
22) Douglas Lima 
23) Michael Page 
24) Alberto Mina 
25) Mike Pyle 
26) Benson Henderson 
27) Jorge Masvidal 
28) Santiago Ponzinibbio 
29) Tim Means 
30) Sean Strickland 

Scheduled WW fights:

Carlos Condit vs. Demian Maia, Fox 21
Nicholas Dalby vs. Peter Sobotta, Fight Night 93
Jessin Ayari vs. Jim Wallhead, Fight Night 93 
Phil Brooks vs. Mickey Gall, 203 
Yancy Medeiros vs. Sean Spencer, 203 
Kenny Robertson vs. Roan Carneiro, Fight Night 94
Augusto Montano vs. Belal Muhammad, Fight Night 94 
Erick Montano vs. Randy Brown, Fight Night 94 
Vicente Luque vs. Hector Urbina, Fight Night 95 
Erick Silva vs. Luan Chagas, Fight Night 95 
Elizeu Zaleski vs. Keita Nakamura, Fight Night 96 
Albert Tumenov vs. Leon Edwards, 204 

As far as tiers, to me the top tier should be anyone who could beat the champion and since my opinion of Woodley isn't that great, I'd say the top tier goes all the way to #18.
