MMA Top 10 Rankings

[Mike - Indi Rev]

Well for anyone that's interested, here's a VERY good set of MMA rankings. They are taken from Tagg Radio's website, www.taggradio.com

In MMA there are no "official" rankings, but these have been compiled by a group of very knowledgeable guys and in my opinion are as close to definitive as you're going to get. After the fighters name I've put in the brackets the organization that the fighters fight in.

Hmm, these will have a changed a bit over the last few months.

Anyone want to pick a division and put up their rankings for it? I'll have a think about my LHW top 10 and post it tomorrow (it'll be a good distraction will I'm at work!).

[Mike - Indi Rev]

Here's my top 10 LHWs:


Light-Heavyweight (205 pound weight limit)

1) Quinton Jackson
2) Ryoto Machida
3) Chuck Liddell
4) Dan Henderson
5) Mauricio "Shogun" Rua
6) Keith Jardine
7) Forrest Griffin
8) Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
9) Wanderlei Silva
10) Thiago Silva


This devision is so messed up with so many people having lost to each other. There are definitely lots of good arguments that could be made for moving pretty much anyone around. Also, I think the number 10 position is pretty debatable and 2 or 3 guys could be in there in place of Thiago Silva.
