1 spot, prob because AA has 3 straight losses

but he beat the snot out of rothwell though, thats the only reason i stressed on that one lol

but JDS also KO'd Werdum, can't always just use head to head.

BUT... who has rothwell beat?

Yvel, Ricco, Krstoff(twice), Roy Nelson. Actually has won 15 of his last 17 fights losing to AA and Cain.

Yeah that's what I'm talking about

Im a huge Brock fan we all know but having him number 2 is high after the beating he took at the hands of Cain Velasquez.

those rankings are a joke

Brock ahead of Fedor? Are you fucking kidding me?

Pretty much unprecedented right? Dude gets totally worked in the first rnd, and falls to #2? A guy with a grand total of 5 wins.

And these are the consensus picks. Can't help but think that this is a matter of trying to hold onto their credentials.

but who has he beaten since losing to AA? Some guy named Guillen and Yvel.

But the 3 straight losses do make it reasonable imo.

I don't like these rankings either rock is #2? Fedor# 3? No to both. And Brock should be ranked over Fedor, he lasted longer against a higher ranked opponent, than Fedor did against one considered in the bottom half of the top 10 in Werdum

Light Heavyweight-

01. Mauricio Rua
02. Jon Jones
03. Rashad Evans
04. Quinton Jackson
05. Lyoto Machida
06. Forrest Griffin
07. Rafael Cavalcante
08. Mo Lawal
09. Dan Henderson
10. Ryan Bader

Im cool with Jones at 2.


Surprised he jumped Evans though as far as title contention goes.

Don't like Forrest at 6 or Bader at 10 though.

I think Evans is out for a long time with the knee injury. Forrest has only lost to Silva and Evans lately and has wins over Rampage and Rua.

2.5 and 3 yrs ago.

99% of this forum would predict Rua to avenge that loss.

I think its just a 4-6 week injury. he may be out for 2 maybe 3 months tops.

If that's the case then why not just delay the fight?

Not sure but Rashad said on MMA live after the show that it is a 4-6 week injury but he doesnt want to rush it.

Yeah, Forrest looks just about right, Bader? NFW (No fucking way) I was more impressed with Rich Franklin than Bader, but they should have those 2 match-up anyway.

Jones makes everyone not top 5 look that way.

Bader tried but the reach advantage was killer and I believe he was shocked that Bones was able to take him down and control him. Bader is no where near as bad as Jones made him look.

I like the Bones vs Forrest matchup. Or Thiago Silva.

holy shit i just saw he was already given a title shot. I personally think he should have one more fight against Forrest or Thiago, but still it is a sick fucking match up.

LOL @ oggy being super late to the party.

sorry just watched the videos this morning online

Why surprised he jumped Shad??? Bones has made Janitor, Bonnar, Vera, Hammil, and now Bader all look like guys who don't belong in the Top 50 at LHW. IMO he is the number 1 guy in the LHW division based on his resume. Shogun has his hands full with this next fight. I don't see anyone at LHW giving Bones a problem. I can't wait for a few years down the road when he is fighting guys like Cain or JDS.
