Anderson Silva undoubtedly rules the Middleweight division today, but what would a FightMatrix Top 10 snapshot of the division look like two years ago?

10	Akihiro Gono Last Fight: 8/26/2006 [PRIDE]	26-11-7	138

Interestingly enough, Yushin Okami is in the same exact position today.

EDIT:  Upon further review, Marquardt was not placed correctly.  He would’ve actually ranked 7th.  Since this was still on the front page, I’ve made changes to the rankings.
