News Khamzat Chimaev is officially ranked in the top 15. He enters at #15 in the welterweight division.

[Do The Evolution]

Wait, you can get in the rankings months after your last fight?

 

[bleeder]

1-0 in welterweight btw LOL

 

[Freddy Fisticuffs]

Idk whats going to happen, but if he loses sherdog will implode and i kinda want to see that...

Lol, his lone win at Welterweight is against Rhys McKee, who journeyman, Alex Morono, just beat the shit out of. Ranking not justified. I’m not saying he’s not legit, but it’s a joke to rank him right now, he fought one top 50 opponent in a different weight class.

 

[Maripucci]

I thought they removed Leon from the rankings?

Did they put him back after they finally got him a fight?

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

He's likely a top 15 fighter but this is obviously premature, especially considering his best win is Gerald Meerschaert, who is a lower level journeyman, and that win wasn't even at WW, it was at MW.

The fact that he can knock out a UFC level MW fighter in literally one shot as a WW is still pretty impressive....

 

[13Seconds]

And instead of finally getting rid of Robbie Lawler they decide to move him up

Looks like they treated the outcome of Lawler/Askren as a straight up win for Lawler.

Siver had a very decent UFC stretch and was a legit top 10 guy:

Not after that Nam Phan fight lol. He lost to Cub, then popped for PEDS against Manny Gamburyan and came back and fought Rosa before the UFC needed to give Conor another easy fight to hype up a potential clash between himself and Aldo.

 

[Oxycodone]

From beating one guy in the top 70?

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Doesn't matter if he just squeaked in the top 15. Once Chimeav dismantles Leon Edwards he'll be in the top 5 and fighting for the belt.

I'm pretty sure Islam gained 2 positions after 6+ months of inactivity

totally unwarranted and underserved.

reminiscent of conor treatement.

He's rank 15 , not 10. Fool
