This is another tough division to rank, with so many potential contenders right now. I have Maynard #1 by a hair due to his earlier win over Edgar and fighting to a draw in the rematch. Melendez has a strong argument for the top spot too, but I have him at 3 for now. The 3 of them are really close.
I think Miller is solidly in 4th place, but after that the rest of the top 10 is pretty wide open for interpretation. What do you think?

How can you have Miller at #4? He has potential but hasn't been fighting anyone of note. Look at his last five fights,Kamal Shalorus,Charles Oliveira,Gleison Tibau, Mark Boeck(Which i hear was a bad desicion) ,Duane Ludwig Not the kind of guys that a top five ranked guy should be fighting.

I never said he hasn't beaten anyone. Just not the level of competition that a number five guy should be fighting. I have Definetly not going to put Aoki or Guida at the #4 spot

The main reason he's at #4 is because i think he can hang in there with edgar or Melendaz better than aoki or Guida. The fact that he lost to Edgar and Maynard makes everybody think he has to be right below them.

I guess we won't know for sure until they actually start fighting top 10 guys, and Miller's upcoming fight with Ben Henderson is a good start.

yeah his fight with Henderson should clear a lot of things up.

Cerrone would lose to Jim Miller more often then not. He lose the first round hard, then lose the second round and likely come back in the third to late. Cerrone has the potential to beat anyone in the light weight division, but he has not shown the consistency or faced the level of skill that is Jim Miller.

I've got Miller at 4 too, he's only been beaten by Edgar and Maynard and I can't see anyone below who could take him.
