Hendo's an odd case. Like Lindland, you don't know where the hell to rank the guy.

I don't think i ranked Hendo at LHW either.

As for BJ and Sherk, BJ gets ranked so high because he's BJ and although hasn't been very active at LW recently, we all know what he is capable of, and all know what he has done at WW. Considering he seems to be in better shape and sharper than ever before today, i think that influences his rank. Same with Sherk. Fighting successfully above your weight seems to help your rank, and so does your body of work.

Kinda like testing out of some basic classes when you go to college.

I think the reason for Sherk being ranked so high was because he was champion. There were a couple of people who ranked him as low as 8th, but he was mostly 2-4th on alot of people's lists.

An odd case was with Serra, he was either ranked 2nd or 5th. I think this was so that it would be safe, either put him behind the real #1 because hes champ or rank him where everyone believes he should be.

Good job on the rankings fellaz. I'd say about 80% of the rankings are spot on with what I had, which is really awesome when ya think how many people put there votes in.

Because people are mad biased and dont want to admit that the golden boy got worked over and their might be someone out there who can not only beat him but do it twice over.

Forrest beats the number one guy and he shoots to number two. Serra beats the number one guy and people are hesistating to even put him in the top 10....

Yeah I don't know about that, I mean clearly GSP has done worlds more than Serra, and all Serra has is that win over him, that doesn't mean he should be clearly ahead of him.

That system is pretty smart actually, he was either ranked 2nd because he's champ, or 5th, where he really belongs.

If he beats GSP again, i hope people put him at #1. You cannot rank GSP over him if he loses to him twice in a row, and you cannot rank people over GSP at this point because he's pretty much beaten them all himself.

Sherk shouldn't be in the Top 10, because his WW accomplishments are irrelevant. Consider that his current record at LW is 2-0, both UDs against solid but unranked fighters. He has the talent to be ranked in the Top 10 but the accomplishments aren't there.
