That makes no sense. They are called the LW rankings for a reason. Fighters accomplishments at other weights have nothing to do with it.
Did BJ move up your WW rankings because of what he accomplished at LW recenlty?

I don't consider Kikuchi or Black (especially Black) top competition. Azeredo is exciting as hell to watch, but he isn't great either. I think Sherk would kill all of the above fighters, and I have him higher ranked than all the aforementioned. BJ beat him convincingly, and tore apart Joe Stevenson who was on an absolute tear before the Penn fight.

And Pellogrino, Mishima and Guillard are the cream of the crop? Shaolin, Dida and Uno > Those guys. And Aoki beat JZ convincingly. If he also beats Uno and either Kawajiri or Alvarez, you'd be retarded not to see he'd accomplished more at LW than BJ.

Thats a rough list off the top of my head.

What the hell has Gomi done recently to be ranked top 3?
