First impression: Why isn't sean sherk the #1 lightweight? Second thought: Oh yeah, he fights in the 170's now.
No suprises for my, except that I think Rampage should have made the top 5 in lightheavyweights.
If anderson silva is really the #5 middleweight in the world then he'd better kick the crap out of chris leben.

I was surprised that the middleweight are dominated by the UFC. Does pride not have a welterweight divison.

If Sherk fights as a lightweight he'd be number 1, but UFC doesn't have a lightweight division and so he has to compete as a welterweight.
Phil Baroni deserves to be exactly where he is.
I just realized that the Snowman is number 10 on the heavyweight list!!! He deserves it, I don't know how it happened, but good for him.

Probably for the reason that he hasn't faced anyone in the top 3 yet. Brandon has a very promising future, but until he actually tangles with either Mir, Buentello, Arlovski or Silvia, he's not going to break into that elite group just yet.

Anyone else think Brandon Vera belongs on the heavyweight list?
I am with double...he should be close. He has the best all around skills in that class in the UFC. But I think he wants to go down to lightheavyweight.
