Vitor Belfort

I have him ranked 10 because since he has been back in the UFC he has only has 2 MW fights. He fought Rich Franklin at catchweight of 195, got dominated by Anderson Silva in one round, beat Akiama as a part of a 3 fight losing streak and then beat Rumble at 205.

Luke Rockhold is above him because beating Jacare and  Jardine > beating Akiama

Bisping should be next in line and Lombard is NO TOP 10. Who has he beat in the top 10? NOBODY. He is so overrated. Belfort is sitting pretty at #3, but Bisping passes Muñoz at #4. No Lombard? For good reason

Weidman could very well be #2, but I want to see more. I see Munoz as still able to beat Bisping if they both come in in shape and motivated; Munoz hands are heavier and his wrestling is better (and if Bisping faced Weidman, I think he would've had it handed to him, too.) Unsure of Lombard, but the fact is he does have heavy hands, is strong, hasn't been finished and is a black belt in Judo + BJJ, regardless of whether those skills have been used vs. cans. I think Rockhold could beat Boetsch and even edge Okami, so he gets the ten spot (and I think he will get better.)

I think you are very much overrating Munoz. Out side bispen getting caught he would dominate Munoz.  Munoz is a smaller less skilled version of Hammill.  Bispen should and would be the favorite. For all the hype about Munez wrestling he done nothing with it in the UFC. He MMA wrestling is nothing to talk home about and has yet to factor into pretty much any fight he had with legitmet talent.

@Franklin880088 And I think you're overrating Michael Bisping who's claim to fame are all losses.

Not at all. You just are not looking at this objectively.  Bispen has repeatedly given wrestler trouble. They can't hold him down and when they lack striking skill and size advantage they run into some real trouble against Bispen. Even in his loses to Sonnen he was unloading on Sonnen who dam lucky that was not a 5 rounder or he was looking at a big lose. Then look at Bispen fight with Hammil and look at Munez fight with Hammil. Munez was dominated in every single aspect of the fight. He got out wrestled and stomp in the stand up.  Bispen won a close fight between himself in hammil.  What in earth gives you this notion that a smaller and less skill hammil (muneoz) is going to some how fair any better against Bispen?
