Ranked Fighters: 1-50 | 51-100
Bantamweight (131-138 lbs) fighter ranks
Issue Date: 6/29/2009 (Official Release: #90)
Note: Throughout MMA history, male divisions smaller than Lightweight, and female fighting as a whole, have been sporadic and inconsistent in generating quality match-ups. This can cause a lack of separation between ranked fighters as it is necessary to match top fighters against one another on a consistent basis to generate a realistic view of the division.

We are expanding to Top 100 on our next update.
June 8th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Oh, I can’t wait for BWs to go to 100!

Klarcyk is pretty far outside the Top 50… In the Top 100 though.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:07 am
what about Shawn Klarcyk (9-3)

Chris David has never been finished. I thought that meant he had been beaten badly in one of his decision losses. But after looking into it, he actually has banged every fighter at least one of the rounds. I am interested to see how he will do in the WEC. I could see someone overlooking him. He’s an interesting guy to say the least. I went to his website. He’s been allover and has quite the inquisitive mind. No wonder he can’t be knocked out. A brain like that is must be hard to stop.

also Cole Escovedo if he beats Michael McDonald May 8th…
and can Olly Bradstreet get love at Bantam if not Featherweight? lol.
March 29th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
only guy i would add to your list i can think of is Ivan Lopez (8-0). now with the WEC and is scheduled to fight Dominick Cruz April 5th.

JOE COCA is a USA fighter. Albuquerque, New Mexio.

i had another win nov 8 last year, not on sherdog(?) but on the revolution combat championships page, under the ‘warriors for warriors’ results. not sure if it makes a difference, just saw your updated results and no one has that fight in their records. never really thought i was even getting noticed, let alone put on any fancy ‘world ranking’ list. very cool and thanks… bill kamery

Beebe & Cullum are at featherweight now.
