Light Heavyweight
1. Lyoto Machida
2. Rampage Jackson
3. Rashad Evans
4. Forrest Griffin
5. Shogun Rua
6. Keith Jardine
7. Babalu Sobral
8. Rich Franklin
9. Luis Cane
10. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
-#1 ranked Lyoto Machida is scheduled to defend his title against #5 ranked Shogun Rua later in the year. #2 ranked Rampage Jackson is scheduled to face #3 ranked Rashad Evans later in the year as well. #4 Forrest Griffin will be taking on #1 Middleweight Anderson Silva at UFC 101. #6 ranked Keith Jardine will be facing unranked Thiago Silva at UFC 102. #7 ranked Babalu Sobral will be facing Gegard Mousasi(who's ranked as a MW) at Affliction 3. #8 Rich Franklin just defeated previously ranked Wanderlei Silva at UFC 99. #9 Luis Cane and #10 ranked Antonio Rogerio Nogueira currently don't have anything scheduled as of now. I would love to see Luis Cane fight Rich Franklin next though, as that would be a very intriguing fight in my opinion.

Cane/Franklin would be cool, two really good technical strikers going at it. It would really show just how far along Cane has come as well. He looked awesome against Cantwell.

The only thing that could be his downfall would be his cardio…that and he gets hit too much…against stiffer competition he needs to not absorb as much punishment…hell he won’t be able to.

I’d probably have it Machida > Evans > Griffin > Jackson
Simply because the fights have been recent.
Bloody hell.

I can see that
I have Jackson at #2 because he was the #1 contender and beat Jardine…and Evans chose not to fight him…plus I still don’t think Rampage really lost to Griffin…

That’s a valid argument – specifically that Rampage might not have lost to Forest… either way, LHW is shark infested waters =/
Bloody hell.

Did you really put Jardine over Nog?

Umm Yea
Look at who Jardine has fought in his past 7 fights…and look at who Lil Nog has faced…
