I sort of laughed when I read this- Barnett dropped 2spots to #7 after a win. Last time he he went from no.6to no. 5 after one year of inactivity but now that he actually fought and won he dropped down to No.7. 
But seriously it seems like a good list.

Why are Sylvia and Arlovski ranked higher then Couture?
Other then that, good job on the rankings.  |

Some people didn't even rank him due to his "retirement" contract issues. I am guessing that is the reason anyways.

Forrest seems to go crazy in his rankings. If I recall correctly, he was number 3 two rankings ago, then 5, and now 2. During that time I dont think ny of the top 4 or so of the LHW have fought. Very interesting.
But nonetheless, I always look forward to these rankings.

i completly disagree with how high bj penn is ranked, he should be 6-7 at the highest. if he beats sherk i'll have no qualms with him being in the top 3, but until then he simply hasn't done enough to be ranked so highly. the belt shouldnt have much to do with it seeing as serra is ranked 4th (probably the lowest a ufc ww champ has ever been ranked)

Come to think of it why is Sean Sherk ranked so high? The man only had two fights at lightweight. The same for BJ Penn. He fought in lightweight before but decided to go up to welterweight.

You guys are pretty much disagreeing with 25 people since he was consistently ranked between 1st and 4th on almost all ballots.
You guys seem to have alot of opinions about these rankings - which as a I said are pretty much the most accurate around - so the best way you can help is to dish out $5-10 and submit your own.

Its not their fault they have a problem with BJ being ranked no. 2 in the world when he has beaten Jens, an old FW, and Joe Daddy, the no. 10, which realistically, shouldn't put him above JZ, Aoki, Sherk, Kawajiri, Melendez, Ishida........
Hell I don't even think Sherk Should be ranked so high.

I imagine a lot of people didn't even rank Henderson at LHW, I don't think I did.
