| 2. Lyoto Machida | 1 |
| 3. RampageJackson | 2 |
| 4. Rashad Evans | 3 |

-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.

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.
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.

word
plus, if he aint contending he aint climbing in my estimation…

!["I remember one other thing he [Rashad] was doing - he was punching me in my knee! It was weird because I had suffered a real bad knee injury in camp but we kept it secret, we didn’t say anything about it and we didn’t even tell the UFC."
"I told my doctor and that was it, he helped me out but I was going to back out of the fight. The only reason I didn’t back out was the fight had been so hyped and I didn’t want to disappoint the fans. Why was he punching me in the knee though? That’s kind of weird - did he find out about the injury? I don’t know. Its weird."
