You're right about it not being the best list

Just noticing some interesting trends here.
For example I have noticed 3 people, it might be more, have dropped Cain in their rankings atleast 1 spot since January. All 3 I have notice have moved Cruz ahead of Cain in the rankings. Neither fighter has fought since the last rankings.
Also too many people to count have jumped Jon Jones 15+ spots since January. Most didn't even have him in the top 20. Now he is all the sudden a top 5 p4p fighter.

Nick Diaz is beating bums who aren't even in the top 20 in their division and has 1 victory over a top 10 fighter in his entire career and that was over 4 years ago yet he is ranked higher than Jones and Cain.

What does this have to do with my post about the trend of others?

If you can change and I can change... everybody can change.

split. Other thread is rankings only.

merged.

If these rankings are done again after the card with Aldo and GSP and both fighters win. I fully expect to see Anderson moved down to 3 on more and more list. Over/Under for Anderson's ranking in that senario is 2.5. I'm taking the over.

anybody there

I will never put Aldo ahead of Silva unless-

A) Silva losses
or
B) Aldo wins the LW title

although I have not been voting so Im not sure where I ranked Jones previously, but I can see Jones jumping a bunch of spots with this win.

This is not a Mike Brown situation where the guy went from a journeyman to p4p elite with one win. We've all seen the Jones train coming for awhiles now. nabbing the title in dominant fashion legitimizes the immense potential we all saw in him.

not only that, but Jones beat Shogun who was number 4 on our p4p list in the first place...

But Brown beat a p4p guy in Faber. Difference is though, Brown was a 30 something year old nobody prior to that fight. There was no hype for that fight because most assumed it was another easy Faber win. Where as Jones was the favorite due in part to his string of straight dominant wins going into a fight with Shogun.

Fedor gets his first legit loss ever and most of you guys bounce him out of your top 10. Man that's harsh.

fedor did lose 2 in a row, fluke or no fluke... a veteran of his status should have known better, quit making excuses for him when even he himself doesnt
