This division is probably the hardest to rank 2-25.

redkayak, I gave you a thumbs up for having the only top 10 crazier than wolfman's :)

BJ underestimated Diaz's toughness imo while severly underestimating the cardio he would need for that fight. While I like Nick's style much more and if judges were more educated and scored fights as fights instead of points sparring/grappling matches Nick would win, under the current system GSP has the wrestling, cardio, and grappling defense to win an easy decision imo.

Can anybody name Koscheck's highest ranked win? Pretty sure it's still Diego and he lost to Paulo Thiago so I think he should be ranked in the same tier as those 2 which imo is somewhere around 10-15.

I'll give you that Messiah and I don't argue hes top 10 but hes the epitome of a 1 trick pony in my book,I'd also argue that a very tired BJ beat him. I'm looking forward to seeing him fight Hendricks actually And I agree with Bklettke's post about the upcoming WW match ups and the effect they'll have on the division and that's without the addition of some rising up and comers to the mix.

@wolf so if Fitch goes out and does to Hendricks what he does to everyone else, do you put him in your top 10 then?

I've decided to remove GSP from my list because of one year of inactivity. 

BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PUT NICK DIAZ NUMBER ONE. Like seriously, too many people on Tapology ride Nick Diaz's nuts. It's ******* annoying.

@anik. thats quite fair of you to do since you from montreal. gsp deserves to be dropped. nick diaz will prove his worth of top spot come february 4th. the politically correct term on tapology is gonadhugger. :- }

Besides GSP at number 1#, everyone else is kinda up in the air. I believe the Condit/Diaz fight should be a watershed in rankings..

I will probably just leave him at #1 until the results of his return fight happen

@Arnoud. I havent updated my rankings. You are right though, he should slide a few spots.

@C_Arnoud Fitch isn't high at all, in fact he's in the perfect spot. I need to go change my rankings.

I wanna put Fitch ahead of Hendricks despite the KO win for Hendricks but because Hendricks hasn't beaten as many top level people as Fitch has.

@nik i see. 

@anik i dont know i think hendricks in front of him is the right thing. i, usually, give guys at least the ranking where their oponent was when they win.

fitch should not be in anybody's ranking. dana wont have fitch fight on any fox event. he would kill the ratings. whoever he fights next i hope its lights out again.
