-#1 BJ Penn will take on #4 ranked Kenny Florian at UFC 101 for the UFC lightweight title. #2 Eddie Alvarez just won the inaugural Bellator Fighting Championships tournament, and doesn't have anything else scheduled for now. #3 Tatsuya Kawajiri is coming off a big win against #9 Gesias Cavalcante, and will fight in a K-1 match later this year. #5 Sean Sherk is coming off a loss to #8 Frankie Edgar and doesn't have anything scheduled as of yet. #6 Shinya Aoki is coming off a loss to Mach Sakurai(at a catchweight) and will fight Vitor "Shaolin" Riberio at DREAM 10. #7 Gray Maynard doesn't have a fight scheduled, but I would love to see him face #10 Diego Sanchez in a #1 contenders match to the winner of Florian/Penn. #10 Diego Sanchez moves into the top ten as a LW after battering the always tough Clay Guida at the TUF 9 Finale. Just like in the other weight divisions, there are tons of matchups on the horizon and the rankings could shake up something serious in the next couple of months.
