The_Power Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 After defeating Dan Hardy, Carlos Condit kicks Hardy out of the number 10 spot and gets the number 8 spot on MMA Weekly's top 10Welterweight rankings. http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=12935&zoneid=13 The latest MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings were released on Wednesday, October 20. This system ranks the Top 10 MMA fighters from all across the world in each of the seven most widely accepted weight classes. Taken into consideration are a fighter's performance in addition to his win-loss record, head-to-head and common opponents, difficulty of opponents, and numerous other factors in what is the most comprehensive rankings system in the sport. Fighters who are currently serving drug-related suspensions are not eligible for Top 10 consideration until they have fought one time after the completion of their suspension. Fighters must also have competed within the past 12 months in order to be eligible for Top 10 consideration unless they have a bout scheduled within a reasonable time frame. Below are the current MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings, which are up-to-date as of October 20 WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION (170-pound limit) #1 Welterweight Fighter in the World: Georges St-Pierre 2. Jon Fitch 3. Josh Koscheck 4. Thiago Alves 5. Paul Daley (Strikeforce) 6. Nick Diaz (Strikeforce) 7. Martin Kampmann 8. Carlos Condit 9. Matt Hughes 10. Paulo Thiago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_MC Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 What is Alves doing in the top 5. He's coming off two losses in a row! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestGriffinFan101 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Why is Daley above Diaz? I usually like their rankings but that's absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Power Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Why is Daley above Diaz? I usually like their rankings but that's absurd. I guess Daley is above Diaz because of his performances of his last few fights. I'm talking about the ones (pre-UFC and UFC) leading up to his loss to Josh Koscheck. Also he fights a lot. He is fighting for a 5th time this year. Last year he had 4 fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_McTowelie Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 its all good that list will shuffle after this weekend to fit Sheilds into the top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimatefightingchamp Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yeah, love Daley but don't agree with him being above Diaz. Hope Daley wins his next fight and challenges Diaz for the belt! Next Strikeforce event is SICK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KansasCityKing Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I love the idea of Condit making his way to a title shot. If anyone were to beat GSP I would want it to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffLynch Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I love the idea of Condit making his way to a title shot.If anyone were to beat GSP I would want it to be him. I agree, I like Condit's mindset. I would like to see a Shields vs Condit II matchup, seeing how Jake does on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towhatend Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Alves at 5 is a joke. His last two losses were to the No. 1 and No. 2 welterweights. Not like he's been losing to slouches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaz- Has not lost a fight since 2006 (tko stoppage not counted) and is active as hell 5. Koscheck- Because is won last 3 fights and beat prospects daley and johnson 6. Daley- continues to win after UFC loss and is very active. 7.Condit- sky rocket win over supposed tough chin/knock artist/top ww opponent 8.Kampmann- 2-1 last 3 fights, saturdays win will put him above Koscheck, very important fight for Kampmann 9. Alves 2 fight loss and now fighting a relative unknown or lesser contender than alves previous opponents. 10. Matt Hughes- 3-0 all vs known names and one prospective fighter in Almeida I like it when people put a reason behind top 10's. These are mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact you put Alves at 9 instead of the top 5. I know Alves's last two losses were to #1 and #2 WW's but he still lost two in a row. That has a bigger inpact than making you number 3-5.

gazlufc Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Well i dont think GSP should be #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambo91 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Not the first time their rankings have been questionable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antmanx Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Well i dont think GSP should be #1 On what basis? On the fact that is the champion or the fact that he has beaten most of the people of the list? If you think it is shields, I understand your argument but you are going to lose that argument 99.99% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
