UFC LHW Mauricio "Shogun" Rua

Fighter	Last Ranking
1. Shogun Rua	4
2. Lyoto Machida	1
3. RampageJackson	2
4. Rashad Evans	3
5. Forrest Griffin	5
6. Gegard Mousasi	6
7. Thiago Silva	7
8. Luis Cane	8
9. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira	9
10. Rich Franklin	10

-Man, I'm catch flack for this. But Shogun won that fight against Lyoto Machida, and these are MY rankings! Shogun is the new #1 LHW and will fight Lyoto Machida in an immediate re-match possibly at UFC 108.

-#4 Rashad Evans could be facing #7 Thiago Silva at UFC 108.

-#5 Forrest Griffin will be fighting unranked former UFC LHW champ Tito Ortiz at UFC 106.

-#6 Gegard Mousasi will be facing Sokoudjou at the next Strikeforce event.

-#9 Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will be making his UFC debut at UFC 106 against #8 Luis Cane.

**Also, if the Rampage situation isn't resolved in the next month...he'll drop from the rankings.

Putting the right guy at #1 is precisely why I stick up for you when people bash you. ;)

The rest of the list…who cares. Hah.

Awesome. These are the kind of rankings I like. Rankings that truly reflect the current state of affairs.

shogun leg kicked, backed him up and fed him a few fists for it… IMO

i think your missing someone

how could you possibly not put Anderson Silva on that list. So many ranking systems have Dan Henderson ranked in 2 weight classes. I think since Anderson has beaten number 5 he deserves to be on there above Griffin. Truth be known he is probably number one at 205 haha.

by flexnfletch on Oct 29, 2009 2:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Because

I don’t like ranking guys in two weight divisions….there’s no telling when/if Anderson will fight at 205 again….therefore, it makes no sense to rank him there IMO.
