Benavidez I got ranked higher than you... I don't see Scott on your list? Do you mind if I ask you how you rank the fighters?

@Kallous.. notice we agree on every fighter.. just small placement differences... great minds think alike :)

The top 10 is pretty set in stone in this division. After the top 10 though, there could be a lot of variation. I got the same guys as you Kalibo and Kallous, just slightly different orders. I don't see how Faber can be considered anything other then 2 right now. He gave Cruz his toughest test yet and I don't see anyone else giving Cruz much of a challenge at this point aside from maybe MM. Bowles doesn't have the speed to compete with Cruz.

Idk.. I honestly think Joe would beat Faber and MM would beat them both.  The match making in this division the rest of the year is going to be very interesting.

scott jorgenson is highly overrated in my opinion i train mma and also coach i look things and fighters though alot and analyze i not only base my ranks off of wins and losses but how well they win and how bad they lose

TS did you have the audacity to put Jason Reinhardt in your top 10 in your first post... LOL.... Reinhardt is the definition of Can opener. His 20 opponents combined time of fight record is 27-29. Compare that to a fighter you called overrated in Scotty Jorgensen who in his 12 victories (40% fewer wins) has beat opponents with a combined record of 114-36.

Bump? Instead of making a new thread.

After UFC 139:
Urijah Faber up to #2 from #4
Brian Bowles down to #5 from #2
Scott Jorgensen up to #4 from #5 due to Bowles loss

I'm tempted to bump Bibiano from the list to make room for Miguel Torres.
