... you're kidding, right? That's how the rankings work! Browne beat him not long ago and there's absolutely not a single reason he should be ranked lower than him now. I feel you're looking at these rankings completely wrong.

Browne>Struve until Struve beats someone higher than Browne like SIlva or Werdum.

@Bloody Freak

Struve vs Browne wasn't too long ago, you're right about this but Struve went on a 4 fight winning streak after this fight and he's always improving! He won against Barry, Herman, Johnson and Miocic. Finished them all...

Browne just won against Broughten (boring dec. horrible fight) and Chad Griggs (UFC debut dropped to 205 afterwards) and he lost to Big Foot. I think it's reasnable to have Struve above Browne.

Besides you don't follow your own rule, you have Werdum higher than Reem !!! I assume for the same reasons I have Struve higher than Browne ?!?

Struve since then 4-0. Finished Pat Barry, Finished Dave Herman, Finished Lavar Johnson, Finished Stipe Miocic. 

Browne since then 2-1. Won a decision against Rob Broughton, Finished Chad Griggs, Got Finished by Antonio Silva.

Struve deserves to be higher.

I think one can make a pretty good argument either way for Struve or Browne being ranked higher right now. 

To me, Browne's KO of Struve wasn't that long ago.  I don't think one loss to Bigfoot is enough to put Struve over Browne, even if Struve is on a pretty good streak right now.

I see, you're looking at this like a ladder to a title shot, which if it was, you would be right. Struve is on a great streak and has looked good but his loss to Browne puts him below him until he beats someone higher or Browne himself. I don't see how logically he could be ranked higher than someone who beat him not long ago.

I have Werdum over Overeem because I had him winning that dreadful fight...

I disagree, but hey.. we all have our opinions on how to rank this stuff.

Dan Cormier's ranking is the toughest for me.  I know he beat Josh and Silva.. but.. but... I don't see him in the top5 yet.  You're right @Lynx and thanks for echoing my thoughts.  This is why we have a consensus ranking along with our own.

It really is... I need to see Dan in the UFC and Struve against a top guy.  I'd love to see Hunt's next match and even Silva against someone in the top10 that doesn't pull some kick that tears his hammy in the 1st 20 seconds of R1.

Also with Overeem being out for so long, I went ahead and moved Werdum ahead of him since he has looked a lot better since losing to Reem. Barnett neds to get back in the UFC so we can find out where he really stands.

Good point... has it been a year since he has competed? If so, I gotta take him outta my top10. Its a personal policy.

You're right, but usually MMA and the community allow a year of inactivity before booting them down in the rankings (or out entirely.

I wouldn't say hes been booted down the ranks, more so people have just got some quality wins and have gone up the ranks such as Cormier and Werdum. It's hard to keep a spot when your inactive while other fighters are winning.
