And this is why you don't rank a #1 contender over the champion. I hope you people who put Okami at #1 learned your lesson ^_^

As a result of his loss, Okami falls to #5. That is (so far) the only change to the MW rankings.

That's right, @themystlcalninja.  The champ is a champ for a reason.  Why ANYONE would have ranked Okami above Silva anyway is beyond me.  If you couldn't see this result from a mile away, you might want to reconsider this site for Sherdog.  Hahah.

This list is just me playing favorites. You won't see Silva on it. And no, I'm not sorry about that.

Clearly, with that list, you are playing favorites.  I would hope that you don't consider these guys to be the top of the division, or at least not in that order.  I love Cung Le too, and have been watching him since he fought in Shidokan and K-1, but he does not need to be anywhere in the top ten.  It's a stretch to list him in the top twenty.  But, so long as you are playing favorites, I guess we can't knock your list too much.

@RWLawman,

I just feel like ranking the fighters on their abilities isn't as fun as making a list of your favorites.

Because everybody's looks relatively the same, but with a few fighters switched around. I like bringing something new to the table that gets people to think!

Haha @Thiago,

like I just said, it gets boring when everybody is ranking fighters on their actual rank.

If I wanted to see that, I would just go to the Sherdog rankings. No fun there! :)

Haha I think it's much more fun to have favorites in your rankings list. I'm tired of seeing "1. Anderson Silva 2. Chael Sonnen......" I like when people mix it up, throw a few curve balls. Or in my case some knuckle curves, sliders, sinkers, forkballs, and screwballs.

@xbassistdoodx I respect that you are hones about it. To many people pick their fav fighters and try to mask it as if they are the best "skillwise" or "will win soon".

I try to be objective but I like your idea.

When you're a great fighter they don't call you a great fighter they call you Chael Sonnen!
