JonesyUK Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Did anyone else wonder about the MW and LHW top ten ranking that were shown during the Fox broadcast? I was wondering whose rankings these were, because with Fox and UFC working closely on all aspects of the show/broadcast, you would have to think that UFC supplied/advised on the rankings shown? These were the rankings shown: MIDDLEWEIGHT 1.) Anderson Silva 2.) Chael Sonnen 3.) Yushin Okami 4.) Mark Munoz 5.) Michael Bisping 6.) Demian Maia 7.) Brian Stann 8.) Vitor Belfort 9.) Rousimar Palhares 10.) Chris Weidman LIGHT HW 1.) Jon Jones 2.) Rashad Evans 3.) Dan Henderson 4.) Shogun Rua 5.) Rampage Jackson 6.) Lyoto Machida 7.) Phil Davis 8.) Little Nog 9.) Alexander Gustafsson 10.) Forrest Griffin I have got to say that I dont think I agree with Stann being ranked above Belfort at MW, but other than that I would not disagree with much else they have here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays_Hero Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Swap Palhares and Weidman around now. Also the LHW top 10 looks really weak now, there's really only a top 6 and Jones has beat the majority of them and will probably beat Rashad and Hendo this year.

Enigma_Machine Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Rashad's ranked too high. He's only beaten Rampage and forrest on that list (and now Davis) none who warrant no.2 (maybe the rampage win did two years ago but not now). Hendo should be no.2, followed by Shogun, Rampage, Machida, then Rashad. He's been too inactive to still hold his no.2 rank. Thiago silva will break into the top 10 quickly. He should easily make no.7, and any fight onwards will be awesome. My middleweight ranks right now are Anderson Vitor Chael Bisping the rest. They used to be Anderson Vitor Bisping Chael... but Chael proved that he's one of the best by laying on Bisping to a close decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is he deserving, but he is going to beat JBJ. Blee Dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonesyUK Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Whilst on the subject, still not sure where the Thiago Silva hype comes from? His only notable win was against a fading Keith Jardine and whenever he has faced top ten guys (Machida, Evans) he has lost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonesyUK Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 WTF yushin okami at 3. Looks like a "pull the name out of the hat" rankings. I was a bit unsure about that too on first look, but then when i thought about it he was the last no1 contender, he beat both Marquardt and Munoz last year, is 10-3 in the UFC which is pretty impressive, his only losses have come against champs or no1 contenders - Anderson, Sonnen, Franklin. Makes it hard to rank anyone else above him tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
