MMA All-Time Rankings Updated (06-03-2012)

Posted on June 4, 2012 by Jason

Notable Info

Jose Aldo finally displaced Urijah Faber as the top Featherweight in history. This may fluctuate a time or two, but Aldo should eventually hold this position moving forward.
Junior dos Santos moves up the Heavyweight ladder, as he swaps spots with Frank Mir, taking #7. Cain Velazquez also moves up one spot, to displace the venerable pioneer Bas Rutten at #9. JDS should move into #6 very shortly, as the new crop of Heavyweights are moving past the old guard.
Martin Kampmann surges into the Welterweight list at #18, with his stunning victory over #23 Ellenberger, who himself drops a spot to make room.
Mark Munoz is the latest to claim the #25 spot at Middleweight. Although this may seem premature, he is now 7-1 in the UFC Middleweight division, with his only loss, a split decision to #7 Yushin Okami. He also holds a win over #11 Maia.
Tara LaRosa retakes the top position in the Women’s list with Fujii’s second loss (which she deserved to win) in the states. As Fujii and #3 Tsuji fade, the chance to lockup the top spot, at least temporarily, is completely in LaRosa’s hands. She needs to face quality opposition.

A rare situation facing the Welterweight rankings.

Posted on May 29, 2012 by Jason

With Georges St. Pierre’s late-July inactivity removal from the rankings looming and nothing scheduled for Carlos Condit, a rare situation could have a non-UFC champion ranked at #1 in the division. Despite Condit’s split decision win over Ellenberger nearly three years ago, a dominant win for Ellenberger on Friday will seal this as a certainty, as he will pass Condit in the rankings.

This will create a three-headed dragon at the top of the division that may take quite a bit of time to unwind, depending on how long St. Pierre sits out of action. With time, we could have a similar situation in the Bantamweight division, thanks to the weakening ACLs that we’ve been seeing lately in professional sports.
