New Sherdog Rankings

Why is Rampage still ranked ?

I would rank Mousasi ahead of Forrest.

Sherdog has a rule where fighters have to be inactive for a year for them to be taken off the rankings.

Ok that's understandable.

How in the hell can you have Rogers 5th after losing even if it is to the #1 fighter? Dos Santos, Cain, & Carwin need to be moved up a little.

I'd probably move Mousasi up and add Anderson to the 205 rankings.

Hendo has to be #2, Santiago needs to off the list, and I'd move Belfort up after his win over Rich.

Paulo is way too high, Hughes should still be on the list, and where is Rumble?

Sanchez not in the top 10?! Maynard & Edgar are too low, and Hansen needs to be off the list.

Garcia is too high and Grispi is not only top 10 but top 5.


I always hate Sherdog's rankings.

lots of nitpicking about order aside, the only real glaring flaw is having paulo thiago who has lost every moment of his UFC career outside of a fluke flurry against Kos resulting in a bullshit gift stoppage. That guy is a nobody.

Here is sherdog's ranking from back in 2001 - http://web.archive.org/web/20020123013514/www.sherdog.com/daily/november2001/11260101.shtm

Always interesting to see who was regarded highly back then compared to now.

Wow, Anderson Silva was the no 1 welterweight.

lol I guess Silva vs GSP isn't so crazy after all :p

Wow, Sherdog disappoints as usual. I wonder if they will ever even come close to having a solid looking ranking sheet?

Ya. He beat the guy who beat the guy who beat the standing WW UFC champ. Anderson Silva = beast. Most people have no idea about his exploits at WW.

This is kind of like asking, "how the hell is a guy with a 4-1 record ranked #2?" It's because he is that good. Grim answered alot of questions in that fight even if it was a loss.

Jake Sheilds behind Chael Sonnen is a fucking joke

*leaves thread*

Chael Sonnen has done more at the weight class against higher ranked fighters. Mayhem Miller is underrated for sure, but a good win over him and Lawler don't override wins over Filho, Dan Miller, and Yushin Okami, even if a loss to Maia is in there.

That said, would Sonnen beat Shields? Not so sure. But rankings dont work that way. If they did, would anyone rank Frank Mir?

Grim is not that good.

Grim's career > Carwin/Cain combined.

Gonzaga, Couture, Mir, & Herring >>>>>>>>>> anyone Grim has ever beaten.

He'd level Dos Santos.
