Notable Info
- Travis Browne finally realizes his potential by removing Alistair Overeem from his senses. As a result, he moves up to #6 in the HW+ rankings.
- Also at Heavyweight, Steve Mocco improves to 3-0 and jumps into the Top 100 at #82 by beating Lew Polley, who gained some infamy by showing up at 237lbs for a 205lb fight on August 9th. Perhaps gluttony got the best of Polley again, as he gained another 18lb in 7 days — weighing in at 255lb for the Mocco fight! James Toney, eat your heart out… but no seconds.
- Chael Sonnen found the Top 10, this time at Light Heavyweight with a first-round submission of Mauricio Rua. This puts Sonnen at #8 and Rua at #11.
- Mike Thomas Brown plummets down the Featherweight rankings at the hands of Steven Siler. Now sitting at #65, a re-retirement seems eminent.
- Pedro Munhoz‘s win over Jeff Curran made our All-Time Unusual Decisions list. Although Munhoz received 50-45 and 49-46 scores, Curran managed a 48-47 in his favor. Subsequently, Jeff Curran retired and is apparently abandoning his Flyweight run — this fight was at Bantamweight.
