looked very good last night. Granted his opponent was coming in on short notice, but Ishida looked game. I have to believe a rusty Thomson will have trouble in that matchup(though it may only set up a rubbermatch).

Where do we rank Gilbert at 155?

I think he is still in the 10-15 range. He looked great last night and really raised his stock.

The LW top ten is arbitrary. I don't know that my 12 or 14 is significantly better than my 5 or 7.

LW is a division where top 15 has the same weight top 10 has in others.

I am beginning to think Gilbert will win the rematch with Josh Thompson. He has come full circle as a fighter.

If he beats Punk it becomes hard not to include him in the top ten. What deep weight class.
