    why is Donald Cerrone unranked? He is awesome and I cant find him anywhere in your rankings

    Give the guys outside the UFC some credit? Have you seen Aoki at 2? Hirota at 3? Alvarez at 5?

    Are you serious about these rankings. Kenny Florian beats Guida and you move him up 4 spots for beating someone everybody has beaten. Sanchez gets totally rocked to the point of embarrassment and he is still 8th. C’mon. Give the guys outside UFC some credit.

    We MIGHT start considering the point difference in UDs for 5 round fights… If that was the case, Cerrone would not have dropped quite as far.

    I don’t think Donald Cerrone should have been dropped 13 spots…anyone that watched that fight knows that it was extremely close…in fact Frank Mir, who was announcing had Cerrone ahead as did I.

    not saying i disagree with what you said but i do think he could beat maynard(dont think they will fight cause’ they are team mates)also eddie alvarez, and you might think im crazy but i also think he could be florian. just my opinion.

    if anything Tyson should be lower… he is top 10 in the UFC LW division however he is not top 10 in the world.
