1. **Fedor Emelianenko (130) - (1)
2. **Brock Lesnar (117) - (2)
3. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (102) - (3)
4. Frank Mir (74.5) - (6t)

8. Junior dos Santos (38.5) - (RV)
9. Cain Valasquez (33) - (9)
10. Brett Rogers (30) - (8)
Receiving votes: Aleksander Emelianeko (7), Allister Overeem (5), Andrei Arloski (1), *Cheick Kongo (1)
No longer receiving votes: Mirko Cro Cop, Grabriel Gonzaga
Notes: Not only did Fedor and Brock get every 1st & 2nd place vote, but Nog got all but two 3rd place votes (he had two 4th place votes). It looks like Josh, Allistar, & Cain are getting moved down for some lack of activity. JDS made a huge jump after curbstomping Cro Cop.


Light Heavyweight (votes) - (last ranking)
1. **Lyoto Machida (130) - (1)
2. Rashad Evans (106) - (3)
3. Shogun Rua (87) - (4)
4. Gegard Mousasi (72) - (9)
5. Anderson Silva (62) - (5)
6. Quinton Jackson (58) - (2)
7. Dan Henderson (39) - (RV)
7. Thiago Silva (39) - (RV)
9. Luis Cane (36) - (6)
10 Forrest Griffin (33) - (7)
Receiving votes: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (24), Rich Franklin (7), Brandon Vera (5), Jon Jones (5), Vitor Belfort (4), Keith Jardine (3), Tito Ortiz (1), Matt Hamill (1), Ricardo Arona (1)
Notes: Only Machida, Evans, Rua, Mousasi, T. Silva received a vote from every poster. Rampage took a big hit for retiring. 7-10 are all very very close. It is kind of weird to see two very recent champs (Forrest and Quinton) sitting at 6 and 10.

Middleweight (votes) - (last ranking)
1. **Anderson Silva (130) - (1)
2. Dan Henderson (113) - (2)
3. Nate Marquardt (104) - (3)
4. Vitor Belfort (92) - (6)
5. Yushin Okami (72) - (5)
6. Jorge Santiago (55) - (7)
7. Damian Maia (72) - (4)
8. Chael Sonnen (30) - (10)
9. Robbie Lawler (23) - (9)
10. Yoshihiro Akiyama (19) - (8)
receiving votes: Jake Shields (12), Kazuo Misaki (3), Paulo Filho (2), Michael Bisping (2), Dan Miller (2), Alan Belcher (1), Hector Lombard (1), Ronaldo Souza (1)
Notes: Vitor moved up with his big win over Franklin. Maia dropped after losing to Nate the Great. I a little surprised Shields isn't higher, but a lot of people left him off due to being unsure on his weight class.

Got a couple more.....WW and LW tomorrow or Friday

Carwin is a little high IMO. Other than that it looks good.

IDK Ohio, I don't see anybody below him that I don't think he can't kick the shit out of.

cain will move up the rankings with a win over rothwell...im actually happy that the fight with carwin is off cus this way he gets a legit match that steps up his level of comp

Where is the rest of the rankings? GRRRR!

updated

So guys who did yall think won the Rua Machida fight?

When are these going to be finished?

In 2014, be patient.

I got super busy and never finished. I figured we'd just vote again since so many top fights fought at 104 and SF and now 105 & 106 are right around the corner. I'll have them redone by the TUF finale.

Voting starts after 106!

Farmer, you officially get a slap on the wrist with a piece of balsa wood.

Noooo........!!!!

7) Rogers
Carwin
9) Dos Santos
10) Werdum

1. Fedor Emelianenko - his activity over Brock is why he is number 1 IMO
2. Brock Lesnar - not many fights but they are basically all vs top opposition
3. Antonio Noguiera - 4-1 last 5 fights, wins over Barnett, Sylvia, and couture, loss to Mir. Tough against Fedor.
4. Frank Mir - His submissions can allow him to have a shot at beating anybody.
5. Shane Carwin - Undefeated and looked good verse Gonzaga
6. Brett Rogers - 10-0 before going against the ultimate test, and looking very tough while doing it.
7.Velasquez - undefeated but still not enough high quality fights under belt to be top 5.
8.Alistair Overeem - probably should be ahead of Rogers but hey its my list.
9.Fabricio Werdum
10. Junior Dos Santos

1. Jose Aldo - He is just to good at timing guys for this class
2. Mackens Semerzier - guys 4-0 and subbed Fabiano fast, he is my number 2.
3. Mike Brown - Toug as nails wrestler 2-1, vs Faber and Aldo, clearly better than Faber, 4-1 last 5 fights.
4.Rapael Assuncao -6-0 in last 6 fights including victory over Joe Lauzon, who dusted Jens Pulver, who got older and got beaten twice by.......?....
5. Urijah Faber - ya he is fun to watch but he is 1-2 in his last 3 fights and thats not number 2 or 3 material IMO. 3-2 last 5 fights 2 wins over Jens Pulver, Im probably wrong but this is where I rank him.
6.Bibiano Fernandes - 5-0 in last 5 fights in Dream, Impressive. Think he has learned from the Faber fight
7. Manvel Ganvuryan
8. Hatsu Hioki
9. Wagnney Fabiano
10. Josh Grispi
