1) Tim Kennedy being ranked boggles my mind
2) Beating Lindland and Martin gets Belfort a #4 slot?

Yeah, and one of the guys he beat is 4-3. I’m not saying he isn’t on the rise, because he is, but ranking him above someone like Shields is kinda crazy.

Shields only has two fights at middleweight….it’s really not that crazy…:)

True
But you can make the case for Shields because he’s had pretty outstanding results at WW. Then there’s Kennedy who… well, about the only things people remember about him are going 1-1 against Mayhem, and getting Nick Thompson to sub (to strikes to the back of his head).
How about Robbie Lawler or Dan Miller? Those guys are much more accomplished than Kennedy. I mean, I’m sure he’ll be there some day, but if Kennedy is getting ranked, then King mo should be too. And Mo doesn’t deserve to be ranked today.
