FIGHT FORUM'S Official UFC Rankings Thread -- June

[p19101]

I concur with previous posters about ranking 10 fighters. Maybe when all the Pride fighters are aquired this will be more feasable, but atm I think it's a bad idea.

Now onto check the other rankings to see what I'm gonna bitch about.
I bet nobody has Jardine above Lyoto anymore. Yay!

[Daniel]

Wow, somehow I completely forgot about Mike Swick. I guess I imagined him in some hole between MW and WW and not quite in either weight class.

I've been basing my rankings on who I think has earned the slots. If I ranked by who I thought would beat who my rankings would be a bit different. Like, Swick would be number one or two for my WWs.

How is everybody else doing this? Are you ranking on who would beat who or on who has earned each slot?

I've been using a combination of what you and Gooner have been doing. I look at who's beaten who and who would beat who. Its a weird system that only makes sense in my head.

Top 3? He didnt even rank him top 10! haha

And is it fair to count Hendo as a ufc lhw? I mean he's still representing pride after all. Thats why I didnt include him.

Sorry about that BlindDogg, we'd love to have your rankings again next month. It just goes to show you, however, that one person's rankings does make a difference. Your rankings alone would have changed the ranking spots between Ortiz/Machida, and created a tie between Florian/Thomas.
