Sherdog must have recently found some missing fights. I’ll update and we’ll see what happens next time rankings are updated.
On your middle weight ranks Gerald Harris is fighting me (Dj Linderman I’m ranked 35 in the LHW
You have Matt Howard 12 UK (244) world at 5-0-0 when his Sherdog record is 7-0-0. Does this mean he should then be ranked higher than what you currently have him?
Eric Schambari’s Sherdog page shows that he lost in June. Why has this bout not been added to his Fightmatrix rating?
sakuraba, by SUB who was coming off a lose to the young bjj ace ralek gracie, who before that beat cage rage champion zalg galesic
moribund…great word
Were is wanderlei silva ?
Yeah, I’d say it still has life left in it, especially if used as a global franchise (ie. Ultimate Fighter: Philippines) where unknown international talent can be introduced to the MMA mainstream
Inactive.
Is TUF really “moribund”? I’d say it’s very stale but still kicking.
Hektor should be ranked higher
oh, hadn’t heard that. lol i thought he was gone for good. thanks 🙂
how the hell is Yushin Okami so far down the rankings? number 20 come on
Interestingly enough, Sherdog just changed his name to Claudio Henrique Da Silva.
Nothing to tweak. The computer analyzes results. The result was an Anderson Silva submission win.
If scorecards were released for fights that did not finish, then maybe there would be something to analyze. Otherwise, there’d be a subjective factor involved.
Jeremiah Riggs is 7-5 and has won 4 straight with wins at Bellator and Strikeforce. He should be in there somewhere.
We have the bout versus Johnson as his last on 12/11… He moved because we just added the fight to our database.
WANDERLEI SILVA SHOULD NOT BE RANKED AHEAD OF DAN HENDERSON. AND EVEN THO A COMPUTER RANKS THEM Damian Maia Would Tap out marquardt in the first round
Why the low ranking on Hector Lombard? His only loses were decisions to Mousasi and Gono over 3 years ago. Since then he has been on a path of destruction. I would give him a second look. Did you not see the Bellator Tournament? I would place him at least in the top 10. You have Allessio Sakara at 9, you really don’t think Hector would beat him?
why isn’t belfort ranked, he beat franklin and lindland?
and why is wanderlei ranked at number 3 when he’d lost 2 fights before he fought bisping?
Hendo destroyed Bisping wow that was not surprising to me but man he should get an extra hundred thousand for that wind up forearm shot shit that was brutal but i loved every minute of it
Horwich choking out Leites really screwed this division up. One judge giving Munoz the decision over Okami didn’t help either.
WHERE THE HECK IS TREY HOUSTON?
But this is just one example of many. If there was some database that had all scorecards for partial results, then maybe we could utilize that data.
Round is considered, but the differences are very slight.
Vitor dropped off the rankings due to inactivity.
Is it Jeremiah, or Jeffrey? Sherdog doesn’t have those bouts.. Does anyone have his complete record?
Okay, I suppose for a computer-model consistency would be required, since it’s rare that partial scorecards are released, so that’s fair. I’m curious though, does your model at least take into account the round a stoppage happened in (or maybe even the minute)? A 3rd round stoppage is _on_average_ going to indicate a less dominant performance for the winner than a 1st round stoppage, let alone a 5th round stoppage. I would’ve figured that, the quality of his performance aside, taking Silva into the 5th round would be just below a decision loss to a computer.
Viscous nocho and tonto are you oleg and sonnen
He’s #5. He finally earned it too. He’s forever been a guy near the top of rankings without actually producing.
I can’t wait to see a Jake Shields-Anderson Silva fight. I really think Shields could upset Silva. I really like this kid. If he can use his wrestling skills and get in close to Silva then he could do it. But that’s the problem. Getting in close and hitting Silva is almost as hard as getting laid on a first date with a chick you didn’t meat at the bar….
There is no sliding time window in which only particular fights count. It contradicts the entire system architecture. Each time the ratings are run, fights are calculated from day 1 to the present. A fight that took place 2.5 years ago… the combatants had to have a rating going into that, just like they did a fight 5 years ago.. etc. You referred to the Wandy/Liddell fight, which was nearly 3 years ago. Using that as evidence is somewhat contradictory to your 3-year idea, or at least it will be in 6 weeks.
As for the specific scenario you are commenting on, Silva only has 83 points on Bisping, which really isn’t a huge number at the top of this division. Its indicative of the type of win Wanderlei had over him. There is also no such thing as a questionable win, only different types of wins. He got up to #3 by attrition mostly.. as you saw Nate just fell below him. Hendo was above Wanderlei too.
Ehh needs to just be banned. He has a post in every weight class with no common sense, grammar, or spelling. He’s either actually stupid or is just posting to look stupid. Either way, we can do without that.
jcs, you don’t need to defend/explain the rankings to these kinds of posts. Please don’t let these forums turn into sherdog forums. Thanks
I see that he’s ranked at 205 but he’s fighting at middleweight and vying for a shot at silva, why not rank him at middle to see if he is deserving of a title bout?
the rankings get more foolish by the day. Schlemenko gets destroyed by Hess and pull out a victory due to injury and moves up 15 and Hess moves down 7. Do these rankings even take into account the actual fights?
So Matt Horwich has losses to both Bryan Baker and Eric Schambari (and a pretty bad record overall) and is ranked ahead of both of them. Bryan Baker has beaten Eric Schambari twice and he’s behind Schambari. I think you need to tinker with your little formula a little more.
Shouldn’t Jordan Radev (#101) be ranked at WW? I’m pretty sure it was just Daley who came in way overweight. Radev was at 171.
Where is belfort? He may not be the computer generated #1 contender but he is easily top 10 at this weight class. I see him and Franklin in the 205 rankings…am I missing something?
The rankings only take in account the official results – Shlemenko won by TKO.
For the yankees asqueroso is viscous
MixedMartialArts.com has the scene cornered for the states who only report to them and do not post their results in public commission reports — there is no reliable way for the volunteers (Sherdog and other sites) to easily gather them. Masterful job getting involved with the ABC and making the states pay to report their own results — geez.
Sherdog is purely volunteer w/ regards to recordkeeping — which is probably why it is more like 90% versus 99% overall, but still better than MixedMartialArts.com on the global scale. If you use their generic contact page and give them some solid details, someone should get back to you.
If we are missing show results on MixedMartialArts.com, I’d be happy to take a look for our own consumption.
Please check Absolute Action MMA/AAMMA 34 held in Williamstown, Kentucky on August 10th, 2013. These results are verified by Commission, Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority. Luke Zachrich won his Middleweight fight via reverse armbar in 45 seconds of the first round against Justin Gamble. Charles Stanford won his fight in 10 seconds into the second round by TKO/RSC against Justin Decker in the 145lb class. Thank you for your help.
Shofight 20 card changed (this weekend) UFC vet Kendall Grove to face Derek Brunson in Springfield, MO – June 16th.
How is Maia above Munoz nd Leben above Stann?
maia is gonna get put down just like leites should have been by marquardt
he’s not good enough period. Marquardt is much improved but he still can’t beat silva. i’d like to see him fight other top 185ers though and not just bjj guys he is gonna crush
Looks like the middle-weight divison going to be shaken up a bit. with Anderson fighting Forrest Griffin at 205 in august which would take him off the 185 rankings because you can only be ranked in one weight division at a time, and Demian Maia vs Nate Marquardt for a title shot (I’m gussing). Not to mention the pending entry of Wanderlei Silva into 185 we might finally get to see a “Silva/Henderson 3” at 185. . . Well after Hendo fights Bisbing of course. So the future of 185 looks bright.
cung le and akiyama are 2 of the biggest unproven talents in this division. i believe both can be top of the division but akiyama will actually take the chance so we shall see. (akiyama is a finisher). as far as dan henderson vs rich franklin, rich won that fight so clearly it disgusts me. Disgusts me. but whatever he isn’t 185 anymore.
Lawler went up several spots after beating Manhoef (he was around 15-16 before). He dropped 1 this week because of Maia moving up.
will chael sonnen have to have been inactive for the standard amount of time before he gets taken off the list?
or if he gets sent to prison for the rumoured up to 20 year sentence for the money laundering would he just be taken off automatically?
wihoo! souza’s number 4!
Wanderlei being ahead of Okami is comical at best, but these are far from the most skewed rankings I’ve seen.
He’s going to get probation from what I’ve read… so he may not even be out of action that long.
Vitor not on list???? anyway this division sucks. Sonnen whooped Silva but even if he won, he got caught juicing so he would be champ anyway (although imo, all atheletes should be required to juice as much as possible, that would make it interesting) Everyone in this weight should be transferred up or down…. silva ruined the whole division with his asskicking
Belfort is not ranked for inactivity. Only fighters who fought in the past 450 days are ranked.
Fight was added after the show. Will be in the next update.
that’s fair enough. and what about wanderlei silva? he’d lost 2 fights before he fought bisping so i don’t get how he’s number 3..
Yeah, I went back and looked at the HW drop out list and saw Falcao on there. Thanks.
Usually every Sunday.
jared hess is a friend of mine and i matched him on the last show he fought on it was not 10-4 thunder it was bricktown brawl 3. my question is how did he move 42 spots?
you know what i’m sick of though?
on every discussion board in the world people always say cung le isn’t experienced enough but he has been studying viet vao do and tae kwon do since he was 10, he was undefeated in 45 fights which included kickboxing and san shou and mma. plus everybody says anderson silva would just end the fight on the ground. but he has never initiated a ground fight he just submits people from the ground if they get him there. why would cung le take the fight to the ground (though he was a state champ wrestler and from viet vao do he learned a flying scissor legs takedown) when his strength and what he does in every fight is stand up and knock people out with kicks and punches?
Wow that is a major gap between Spider and everyone else hahaha!
yes, i was the matchmaker for the show. kieth weighed in @ 184 and hess was 186
silva vs franklin will go all three rounds but i think wandrlai gets him in the end it wont go to the cards.then you get silva vs silva where i believe wanderlai is at his best and he would most likely beat the spider so will se but im guessing UFC 106/107 silva vs silva
Mamed khalidov is from Chechnya not from Poland but he lives there!
Such a seemingly harsh adjustment to Zachrich was for two reasons. The loss was a dominant loss – round 1, and the system self-adjusted for overrating him in the first place.
His last four wins had a combined record of 24-32 at the time of the fight, with one being a debuting fighter.
His last fight was at 205. We’re probably going to move him back to Middleweight on next update.
crafton wallace win of feb 21 king of the cage, does this put him back in the middleweight rankings?
Its just a display error. We’ll fix it. Was the fight at 185?
Hey Everyone! We had a discussion a few months back, on the HW page, before Miocic won the HW title. There was a case where Mark Hunt jumped both JDS and Miocic, after a KO victory of Frank Mir. He was ranked ahead of both of these guys, despite having a recent loss to Miocic, because Miocic was being blocked by JDS. An issue to be sure, and jcs did a great job of explaining the formulaic logic for the placement. Shortly thereafter, there was a change made to the programming of the blocking mechanic.
Having said that, and after monitoring the changes made to the blocking function over the past few months, I believe it’s worth looking into again. There may be room for further refinement. I decided to post on the MW page, because it has two examples in the top 5 alone. Luke Rockhold lost his MW title to Bisping at UFC 199, and immediately dropped below Chris Weidman in the rankings, despite Chris not having fought since that loss. This seems like the exact situation the blocking mechanism was designed to prevent. There is also, to a lesser degree, Souza having leap-frogged Romero (albeit after a contreversial loss to him, but the algorithm is blind to judging and USADA), after only beating a lower ranked opponent in Belfort.
I have also seen this in other divisions. Women’s BW had a similar situation, until Valentina Shevchenko came and sorted it out. However, after Holm lost the belt to Tate, Rousey immediately overtook her again in the rankings. The root cause for this seems to be tied to the changes made to blocks.
I would love to hear the site operators opinions on whether there is cause to tighten up the blocking again a bit. Perhaps there is a middle ground between where it was and where it is today?
As always I appreciate the objectiveness of your software and all the time put into this website. Keep up the good work.
The rating system put the Rockhold/Bisping “block” into place… this was not my doing, there was no logical change made. Would have to research why, but at first thought.. it is likely due to Weidman’s lengthy period w/o a quality performance… so it may not even be a block, but a projected decay that the system accelerated.
Have you got details of my last fight with dez Parker I won by arm bar in round 2 it is in Tapology
Thanks for the reply, oleg.
I can understand in the Romero-Souza case how blocking could be unrelated. It’s more difficult to see with Weidman-Rockhold, though.
Luke definitely took a hit on points by losing to Bisping. Should that loss to Bisping have cleared the block he had against Weidman? The system as it is configured now says yes. I imagine a block is only cleared if sufficient time has passed, the two have rematched and the original loser wins, the original loser beats someone with a substantially higher point ranking, or the original winner loses to someone ranked far below the original loser. The last example listed is likely what happened with Rockhold-Weidman.
I would argue (and could very well be wrong) that the function that controls this is too relaxed. Bisping was ranked lower than both before beating Rockhold, yes. However, he was a top 10 fighter and not so far out of the short-list of best in the world. If #225 came in and beat the #1, I would say absolutely that block should be removed. I’m not sure I would argue for it in this case, especially since Weidman hasn’t done anything of merit himself since the loss.
Thanks for your time.
I didn’t mean to say that blocking was unrelated in the Romero-Jacare scenario, there was definitely a block that was cleared when Jacare beat Belfort. Just wanted to point out that the type of decision as well as the scores both affect the ratings.
Why so much Halsey fall? He fought with dignity, the opponent was lucky , he had a good kick … and then Halsey was lower than Shlemenko ?
Got it, but a win over a 0-0 will not affect his rating.
This is unrelated to blocking – but just wanted to mention that the system is not blind to judging. For fights that go to a decision, the type of the decision is considered by the rating algorithm. So are the judges scores, when available. USADA testing on the other hand is completely transparent to the system, unless a fight outcome gets overturned.
I don’t take issue with a champion that loses, dropping below #2… especially when he/she loses to a much lower ranked contender.
Furthermore, if the now #2 was a previous long reigning champion, who has not lost again… then my stance strengthens on this.
Hi, How the score works?
Yaroslav Amosov is now 14-0 as of last weekend, 9th Oct.
Sonnen #1 F Silva! He shouldnt even be fighting at middleweight. he should be at light heavy. He just wanna pick on people shorter and less reach then him. He lost a professional boxing match btw, he tried to do the ali shuffle and got punched in the face…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt1GcBeYUmY

jcs, I posted my reply to oleg before I saw your post. You make a very good point. There is a strong justification to you saying a #1 shouldn’t always default to #2 after being beat. That is complicated in this instance by the Chris having his last fight be a loss to Luke, but your argument is certainly valid.
Thanks for the good discussion, lads.

That’s what happens when #17 loses to #40 by second round TKO. You seem to still not really understand how the system works. There is no human factor to it, the software that generates ratings doesn’t know or care that “he fought with dignity” or “his opponent was lucky”. What is so lucky about landing a good kick, anyway?
As far as Shlemenko, holding a win over someone doesn’t guarantee that you will be ranked higher than the opponent you beat forever. As soon as either opponent fights again, things can change based on the outcome. That’s what happened here. Halsey was stopped by someone far below him in rankings and thus took a big fall. And Shlemenko’s only fight right now is in the courts, not the cage…

Circumstances triggered a rare “reset” which essentially means that Rockhold’s rating was too low based on his recent divisional history and the movement of the opposition involved in his recent fights, despite the fact that his rating is calculated like everyone else’s. The only other time I recall this occurring for a highly ranked fighter was for Phil Davis. It’s basically a very conservative, self correcting measure.
It’s pretty ironic that he fights this week… as this has nothing to do with it.
What has caused Luke Rockhold’s jump up the rankings?

I’ve got the results for the next update — don’t think they will affect the rankings though.
I’ve got the results for the next update — don’t think they will affect the rankings though.
Please check Absolute Action MMA/AAMMA 34 held in Williamstown, Kentucky on August 10th, 2013. These results are verified by Commission, Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority. Luke Zachrich won his Middleweight fight via reverse armbar in 45 seconds of the first round against Justin Gamble. Charles Stanford won his fight in 10 seconds into the second round by TKO/RSC against Justin Decker in the 145lb class. Thank you for your help.
MixedMartialArts.com has the scene cornered for the states who only report to them and do not post their results in public commission reports — there is no reliable way for the volunteers (Sherdog and other sites) to easily gather them. Masterful job getting involved with the ABC and making the states pay to report their own results — geez.
Sherdog is purely volunteer w/ regards to recordkeeping — which is probably why it is more like 90% versus 99% overall, but still better than MixedMartialArts.com on the global scale. If you use their generic contact page and give them some solid details, someone should get back to you.
If we are missing show results on MixedMartialArts.com, I’d be happy to take a look for our own consumption.
Could you please give me a phone number or e-mail address to contact Sherdog? The State Commission I talked to said they only report to MixedMartialArts.com so I think it is something that needs to be fixed. I have all the documentation and these fighters need to be recognized.

MixedMartialArts only beats Sherdog w/ regards to recordkeeping in select US states… maybe 5-7 (Virginia, Georgia, New Hampshire, North Carolina — to name a few = states that can pay, yes PAY to get their results on the site). Sherdog is better everywhere else — worldwide.

Sherdog is the industry standard for record keeping. The accuracy of MixedMartialArts.com record is awful, to say the least. We do use other supplemental data sources, but at this point Sherdog is still the golden standard.
Individual fighters/managers/promoters can contact us to correct the records, as long as they can provide some kind of verification of the fight and weight class it took place at.
But sumbitting the records to Sherdog.com is by far the best way to make sure that we get them included quickly.

How do you rate fighters in the matrix when you don’t have their records correct? Most promotions report results to mixed martial arts and not to Sherdog but you do your ratings from Sherdog. I know many of the records you show on your fighters in the fight matrix are incorrect. How do fighters get credit for the real records?

oh, hadn’t heard that. lol i thought he was gone for good. thanks 🙂
He’s going to get probation from what I’ve read… so he may not even be out of action that long.
will chael sonnen have to have been inactive for the standard amount of time before he gets taken off the list?
or if he gets sent to prison for the rumoured up to 20 year sentence for the money laundering would he just be taken off automatically?
So Matt Horwich has losses to both Bryan Baker and Eric Schambari (and a pretty bad record overall) and is ranked ahead of both of them. Bryan Baker has beaten Eric Schambari twice and he’s behind Schambari. I think you need to tinker with your little formula a little more.
Fighters generally gain ranking points when succesfully moving down a weight class.
that’s fair enough. and what about wanderlei silva? he’d lost 2 fights before he fought bisping so i don’t get how he’s number 3..
Fighters generally gain ranking points when succesfully moving down a weight class.
Belfort is not ranked for inactivity. Only fighters who fought in the past 450 days are ranked.
why isn’t belfort ranked, he beat franklin and lindland?
and why is wanderlei ranked at number 3 when he’d lost 2 fights before he fought bisping?
Wanderlei being ahead of Okami is comical at best, but these are far from the most skewed rankings I’ve seen.

Sonnen whooped Silva but even if he won, he got caught juicing so he would be champ anyway (although imo, all atheletes should be required to juice as much as possible, that would make it interesting) Everyone in this weight should be transferred up or down…. silva ruined the whole division with his asskicking
Yeah, I went back and looked at the HW drop out list and saw Falcao on there. Thanks.
Is it Jeremiah, or Jeffrey? Sherdog doesn’t have those bouts.. Does anyone have his complete record?
Jeremiah Riggs is 7-5 and has won 4 straight with wins at Bellator and Strikeforce. He should be in there somewhere.
John – He was actually ranked at Heavyweight.
Also, hard to believe Falcao wasn’t ranked before this fight. Dude is a TERROR. No “quality” competition I suppose.
Yeah Wandy! That is awesome. I read the comments below and yeah he shouldn’t be that high but since he gained a percentage for dropping a weight class and won his first and, so far, only fight at 185, he has some points there. It is close at the top thought, I’m sure mostly thanks to Anderson dominating everyone. This division will balance out soon enough. That is, unless Wandy keeps up the “Axe Murdering”. My dream fight at this point is Wandy and Vitor II for the UFC Middleweight Championship.

There is no sliding time window in which only particular fights count. It contradicts the entire system architecture. Each time the ratings are run, fights are calculated from day 1 to the present. A fight that took place 2.5 years ago… the combatants had to have a rating going into that, just like they did a fight 5 years ago.. etc. You referred to the Wandy/Liddell fight, which was nearly 3 years ago. Using that as evidence is somewhat contradictory to your 3-year idea, or at least it will be in 6 weeks.
As for the specific scenario you are commenting on, Silva only has 83 points on Bisping, which really isn’t a huge number at the top of this division. Its indicative of the type of win Wanderlei had over him. There is also no such thing as a questionable win, only different types of wins. He got up to #3 by attrition mostly.. as you saw Nate just fell below him. Hendo was above Wanderlei too.
How is Wanderlei ranked #3? He’s only had 5 fights in the past 3 years and 3 of them have been losses. I realize that they were all losses to top guys, but even his win over Bisping was a bit questionable. This is an example of the only problem I see in Fight Matrix’s system. Sometimes, fighters are ranked highly based almost completely on their past accomplishments. These rankings are supposed to be for the present. Just because a fighter was really good 3 years ago does not mean that they are now. Liddell is a perfect example of this. Considering that Wanderlei hasn’t really done much better than Liddell as of late, other than winning his last fight, and that Liddell beat Wnderlei, it’s kind of difficult to understand how Liddell is ranked 31 but Wanderlei is ranked 3. I think that once a certain amount of time has passed since a fight (3 years or so) that it should no longer count in the person’s ranking. If this is already done, then what amount of time do you use?
He’s #5. He finally earned it too. He’s forever been a guy near the top of rankings without actually producing.

Horwich choking out Leites really screwed this division up. One judge giving Munoz the decision over Okami didn’t help either.
I think Jake Shields could have a decent shot at unthroning theliving legent Silva. Sonnen will kost likely get a rematch. I would love to see a Shields-Sonnen fight.

Wow that is a major gap between Spider and everyone else hahaha!
Round is considered, but the differences are very slight.
Okay, I suppose for a computer-model consistency would be required, since it’s rare that partial scorecards are released, so that’s fair. I’m curious though, does your model at least take into account the round a stoppage happened in (or maybe even the minute)? A 3rd round stoppage is _on_average_ going to indicate a less dominant performance for the winner than a 1st round stoppage, let alone a 5th round stoppage. I would’ve figured that, the quality of his performance aside, taking Silva into the 5th round would be just below a decision loss to a computer.
[…] […]
But this is just one example of many. If there was some database that had all scorecards for partial results, then maybe we could utilize that data.
Actually, I believe scorecards were indeed released. In the first four rounds, Sonnen won every single round on every single scorecard, some of them 10-8:
http://i34.twitgoo.com/avj8me.jpg
He was up 40-34, 40-36, 40-35. Even leaving out the fact that Chael beat Anderson was obviously winning the fifth round too, that was as razor-close a win as a stoppage can be.

Nothing to tweak. The computer analyzes results. The result was an Anderson Silva submission win.
If scorecards were released for fights that did not finish, then maybe there would be something to analyze. Otherwise, there’d be a subjective factor involved.
I’m sorry, but how can Chael Sonnen actually lose points after that performance? He beat the living shit out of the dominant champion and arguable #1 pound-for-pound fighter on the planet for 22 minutes before getting tapped in a miraculous comeback. You may want to tweak your system a bit here.

I can’t wait to see a Jake Shields-Anderson Silva fight. I really think Shields could upset Silva. I really like this kid. If he can use his wrestling skills and get in close to Silva then he could do it. But that’s the problem. Getting in close and hitting Silva is almost as hard as getting laid on a first date with a chick you didn’t meat at the bar….

The rankings only take in account the official results – Shlemenko won by TKO.
the rankings get more foolish by the day. Schlemenko gets destroyed by Hess and pull out a victory due to injury and moves up 15 and Hess moves down 7. Do these rankings even take into account the actual fights?

Such a seemingly harsh adjustment to Zachrich was for two reasons. The loss was a dominant loss – round 1, and the system self-adjusted for overrating him in the first place.
His last four wins had a combined record of 24-32 at the time of the fight, with one being a debuting fighter.
Zachrich falls out of top 250 at 10-2 when he gets beat by a top 100. Doesn’t make sense.

We generally rank the fighters at the weight of the most recent bout (which in Belfort’s case was catchweight, but falls under the range that we consider to be LHW). As soon as he has an actual fight at MW, he will be ranked there.

I see that he’s ranked at 205 but he’s fighting at middleweight and vying for a shot at silva, why not rank him at middle to see if he is deserving of a title bout?
Belfort is currently ranked at LHW

Where is belfort? He may not be the computer generated #1 contender but he is easily top 10 at this weight class. I see him and Franklin in the 205 rankings…am I missing something?
Lombard has pretty much maxed out his rating points beating the Middleweight journeymen of the month. He needs to fight some better competition to rise higher.

His last fight was at 205. We’re probably going to move him back to Middleweight on next update.
Why is Hector Lombard not in the top 50 list? He would destroy half of the fighters in the top twenty and any of the other half would be an interesting match up.

chael sonnen at #2? hahahahahahahahah. okay. whatever. i love this site jcs. i really do. but hendo is the clear and outright number 2 and i hope after he smashes shields you give him the ranking he deserves. sonnen loses often to submission artists. but i can understand that he beat “the former #2” and therefore gained that recognition. whatever. i love your rankings sorry for my rant.

yes, i was the matchmaker for the show. kieth weighed in @ 184 and hess was 186
Its just a display error. We’ll fix it. Was the fight at 185?
his last fight was with johnson on 12/11 the show was called bricktown brawl 3
We have the bout versus Johnson as his last on 12/11… He moved because we just added the fight to our database.

George, Filho last fought at 205 and is ranked #12 LHW.

Why the low ranking on Hector Lombard? His only loses were decisions to Mousasi and Gono over 3 years ago. Since then he has been on a path of destruction. I would give him a second look. Did you not see the Bellator Tournament? I would place him at least in the top 10. You have Allessio Sakara at 9, you really don’t think Hector would beat him?

Wanderlai is DONE!! Franklin is going to knock him out 2nd round. He just can’t take a punch anymore and with his style he needs to be able to take a punch. He wouldn’t stand a chance with Anderson.

silva vs franklin will go all three rounds but i think wandrlai gets him in the end it wont go to the cards.then you get silva vs silva where i believe wanderlai is at his best and he would most likely beat the spider so will se but im guessing UFC 106/107 silva vs silva
you know what i’m sick of though?
on every discussion board in the world people always say cung le isn’t experienced enough but he has been studying viet vao do and tae kwon do since he was 10, he was undefeated in 45 fights which included kickboxing and san shou and mma. plus everybody says anderson silva would just end the fight on the ground. but he has never initiated a ground fight he just submits people from the ground if they get him there. why would cung le take the fight to the ground (though he was a state champ wrestler and from viet vao do he learned a flying scissor legs takedown) when his strength and what he does in every fight is stand up and knock people out with kicks and punches?
Cung Le could do it too i guess if they keep it on their feet which is kinda how Silva operates anyways. He has kick power, footwork and hand speed. A little short and not enough reach perhaps but again any striker has a shot if they drop some bombs.
Belfort is a monster when he is 100% thats number 1. number 2 fedor and silva want to fight and fedor is in affliction. number 3 akiyama and yushin okami should fight and hopefully neither of them get ignored and one gets a title shot like they deserve. Akiyama is a monster, Okami is a machine. Chances are Belfort has the best shot of beating Silva cuz his hand speed is ridiculous and his knees are disgusting. If anybody can get in a shot its him

maia is gonna get put down just like leites should have been by marquardt
he’s not good enough period. Marquardt is much improved but he still can’t beat silva. i’d like to see him fight other top 185ers though and not just bjj guys he is gonna crush
Looks like the middle-weight divison going to be shaken up a bit. with Anderson fighting Forrest Griffin at 205 in august which would take him off the 185 rankings because you can only be ranked in one weight division at a time, and Demian Maia vs Nate Marquardt for a title shot (I’m gussing). Not to mention the pending entry of Wanderlei Silva into 185 we might finally get to see a “Silva/Henderson 3” at 185. . . Well after Hendo fights Bisbing of course. So the future of 185 looks bright.
cung le and akiyama are 2 of the biggest unproven talents in this division. i believe both can be top of the division but akiyama will actually take the chance so we shall see. (akiyama is a finisher). as far as dan henderson vs rich franklin, rich won that fight so clearly it disgusts me. Disgusts me. but whatever he isn’t 185 anymore.
I got the result from this show.. he’ll be borderline Top 100 on next update.
