I am going to start off my blog with my favorite weight class. I am just going to rank the top guys and talk about the overall structure of the division right now. As the title says I will cover everyone I think belongs not just guys in the UFC but it will still probably be UFC biased because it is the biggest organization and is the most active within the 155 pound weight class. I will start off by ranking the top 15 or so guys and they are in my order and could easily be moved around a little. Here we go:

1. Sean Sherk
2. BJ Penn
3. Gilbert Milendez
4. Hermes Franca
5. JZ Calvacanti
6. Tatsuya Kawajiri
7. Shinya Aoki
8. Vitor Ribeiro
9. Joe Stevenson
10. Takanori Gomi
11. Frankie Edgar
12. Josh Thompson
13. Tyson Griffin
14. Clay Guida
15. Kenny Florian
16. Thiago Tavares
17. Roger Huerta
19. Spencer Fisher
20. Joe Lauzon

Okay so I went a liitle bit deeper. There are still a ton of guys who are around that area like Joachim Hansen and then there are guys like Nick Diaz who has never made 155 but 160 so I just do not consider him a 155 pounder. These are my rankings and I make no apologies about them, I have just recently started learning more about a lot of the foreign fighters and their accomplishments and I have Gomi ranked lower than most would because he has not fought in a while and I really do not think he can beat anyone I have in front of him on my list. Feel free to let me know how bad my rankings are though; I am very interested as to how other people view the 155 pound weight class.
Sean Sherk is the champ of the UFC and until anything is official I have to keep him at number one. He is probably one of the hardest guys to deal with in the weight class and has some good crudentials. With that being said he is not a finisher and Hermes Franca gave him a very good fight even though Sherk dominated in terms of judges scoring.
BJ Penn's ranking will be justified when he beats Joe Daddy IMO but at this point is based more off of skill and potential than accomplishment within the weight class.
Milendez rounds out the top three. He is undefeated and holds wins over two other guys on my list (Guida, and Kawajiri). Both of those wins are in 2006 so they are recent. He is one of the non-UFC guys who is able to stay busy with top competition and keep himself up in the rankings.
The 8 through 10 spots are kind of jumbled up. There are a lot of common matchups and things that make it hard to rank these guys. I put Kawajiri over Ribeiro because he won their last fight against each other but they are 1-1 while fighting each other. Those fights happened years ago though and could easily be considered irrelevant now. JZ just took out Ribeiro so he is obviously ahead of him. This Aoki and JZ fight is going to be big, one reason I have JZ in front of him is because I think he is going to beat up Aoki and win the fight convincingly but with Aoki's flying armbars and GoGos who knows? Number 10 is Gomi who is one on most people's list; I already tried to justify that ranking.
The final 10 spots are mostly UFC guys who are kind of on the up and up right now. There are a few big fights coming up at 155 right now: Already mentioned Aoki(7)/JZ(5) fight. Penn(2)/Joe Daddy(9), and Huerta(17)/Guida(14) are all fight who feature ranked guys on my list.
Let me know what you guys think, if you make a point that I can't argue with then I will change it up and throw some rep in your direction. I will probably just cover welterweight in my next blog unless something comes to my attention that I feel I have to cover.
