PrintWelterweight
1. GSP
2. Thiago Alves
3. Jon Fitch
4. Jake Shields
5. Josh Koscheck
6. Martin Kampmann
7. Matt Hughes
8. Mike Swick
9. Carlos Condit
10. Nick Thompson
There hasn't been much movement in this division. #1 GSP will be taking on #2 Thiago Alves at UFC 100. #3 Jon Fitch will be taking on unranked and AKA killer Paulo Thiago at UFC 100 as well. #4 Jake Shields just disposed of then highly ranked MW Robbie Lawler at the last Strikeforce event and currently doesn't have a fight scheduled. #5 Josh Koscheck will be taking on unranked Frank Trigg at UFC 103. #6 Martin Kampmann doesn't have a fight scheduled currently. #7 Matt Hughes just defeated then ranked #10 Matt Serra at UFC 98 unimpressively, therefore he stays at #7. #8 Mike Swick just took out Ben Saunders at UFC 99, and is rumored to face #7 Matt Hughes at some point. #9 Carlos Condit doesn't have anything scheduled as of right now. #10 Nick Thompson just suffered a controversial loss to Tim Kennedy this past weekend, but the bout was at 185 so I'm not dropping him out of the top ten for now. Huge matchups coming up so the rankings could look at little different by this time next month!

Oh No Doubt
The latter part of the top ten in each are easily interchangeable…

Ehh
Now had Paulo Thiago just demolished Koscheck I could understand that…but Koscheck was winning that fight handily until Thiago landed that one punch…I can’t drop Koscheck further than 5th just off that…he beats everybody at 6-10 IMO.

Ok
- is a homer pick for you…lol….but you think Swick and Condit could beat Koscheck?
For real?

I actually do — Kos fancies himself a striker, you forget to account for tha mentality like he would fight a smart fight.
Bloody hell.
Yea
I agree with that…but I see him getting back to that wrestling against Trigg.

The Goat suffered “controversial loss” this weekend? He was dominated and tapped. Back of the head or not, he was getting tooled.

Controversial in the fact that he tapped…and then started complaining immediately about getting hit in the back of the head….IMO..he was getting controlled..but not dominated right up to the point where he tapped…
I still think he was dumb for tapping though…
