Forget Welterweight (and Hughes should be #1 IMO), why in the heck is Cro Cop still #3 in the heavyweight rankings. He has looked unimpressive in his victory over Barnett and his loss to Hunt.

I totally agree on Matt ... but I don't even see Mark Hunt on the God Damn thing! I bet the guy who makes this chart doesn't even watch recent mma (feels like it).

(who ever is making the list).

[Mad Dog]

Trigg and Penn really stick out in the welterweight division. Hughes should be No.1. Trigg has lost 2 out of his last 3.

I find it kinda funny Arona's lower than Randy. That would be a great match.

Not to be rude.. but how is Hayato "Mach" Sakurai number 2.. he just lost? You'd think that would at least take him to 3. What crack pot put Matt Lin. over Evan Tanner? Come on!
