Gotta laugh at UFC's "official" rankings after UFC 156.

[MMA Fan 505**]

Hope UFC's 90 member schill team can figure this cluster eff out.

Maybe Ariel Helwani and Kevin Iole will just put Chael against everyone because Dana says that will sell as soon as he starts trashing Cain and Anderson again.

So glad most members of the media have bowed out of participating in these rankings. Really highlights why only a handful of media members have legitimate credentials.

 

[Riki Newton]

Benavidez at 2 or 3, McCall at 3 or 4, Maia around 5 or 6, Fitch around 7 or 8, Bigfoot around 3 or 4, Overreem around 5-7, Rashad at around 4 or 5, Lil Nog one above Rashad, Aldo at 1, Frankie at around 3-6.

You raise a good point though... some serious changing of the guard totem pole movement tonight

I don't think Rashad falls that far. I could still see him being in the top 5 and even Rogerio being 4 next to Rashad's 5.

Dana can just let Ariel do all the 90 votes by himself, to make sure the rankings look good. Send him a couple of pretty shoes as a reward and he'll sell it to the audience on the next MMA Hour.

Pretty good list. At LHW Davis should be above Shogun, and I'm not sure who Hendro is at WW, or what happened to MW, but really I'm nitpicking. Grats on the black.

 

[Mad Ruthless]

So TS starts thread to bash UFC's ''official'' rankings, and some of you thought it appropriate to just give your own take on what the rankings should be??

Okay??...


May I ask, WTF is the purpose of this thread???

Unofficial name of the WW divisions Dan Henderson

I didn't come up with it though, someone on here did.

Haha. Can you imagine that interview?

"I'm here with UFC president Dana White after UFC 156, now Dana I gotta ask, how do you think I should do the rankings after this monumental card of upsets over guys we really wanted to win?"

Dana's response...

"Look, I know it was a crazy card. Man, Strikeforce, WEC, PRIDE and Affliction guys went down hard, but we gotta be realistic. I'm not for this fight, but I don't make the rankings. Look, Chael has been doggin on Cain, Aldo and Anderson again, do I think the guy deserves all title shots for all-time ever? He's in the mix, for sure, but the champs aren't happy with Chael. Look, he's a thorn in their side, they want to put him in his place. Chael's a funny guy. Next title fight? We're gonna have to sit down and think about where we're going, but it's Chael, for sure. Again, we gotta see where we're at, but it's probably Chael in every title fight of all-time forever. He's in the mix, and he's getting the fight."

Maia should be 3 in the WW, Diaz may be getting the shot but I don't consider him even top 10

 

[Emjay]

I laugh at all rankings because they don't matter

I laugh even harder at people that debate rankings

 

[L0rdBurn]

LOL @ Machida #2 LHW

Machida is 2:3 in his last 5 fights.
