Rankings looking better now, but I am trying to grasp how Tim Boetsch is still in the Top 15, and Thales Leites isn't.

 

[Fbed]

Why is Andy still #1?

 

[FallonFoxGOAT]

nb4 Emjay

 

[Shammon]

lol at Munoz being in the top 10. I wouldn't be surprised if he fought Rockhold next or something.

Boetsch gets credit for beating Lombard and Okami.

In reality, he got SO lucky for those two fights.

 

[SilchasRuin]

Why is Andy still #1?

He's technically #2

 

[infamouz ice]

Lol why did Machida go up one? so they can make his fight with Weidman look better on paper? Anderson should be much lower on those rankings

 

[Diet Otsuka]

Bisping at 8.
Oh boy.

 

[Fbed]

He's technically #2

haha, you knew what i meant

 

[ShreddinMMA]

The fact they still rank Munoz in the top 10 is ridiculous. Dollaway deserves to be above him at this point.

They really want to keep marketing Munoz as a top MW when he simply isn't.

 

[rraaju]

wait, i see the old rankings, monday may 26. this is speculation?

 

[Selukrid612]

CB should have cracked the top 10 IMO, he's more deserving at this point than guys like Munoz and Philippou.

 

[SaintSoldier]

Romero and Dollaway should replace Bisping and Munoz, then the ranking would be accurate.

 

[cumafish]

haha, you knew what i meant

It is probably because it is hard to justify ranking him behind:
Machida, who has only victories of Munoz and Moose at MW
Belfort, whom he previously crushed

since those are the only real viable #2 candidates, Andy takes by default I guess.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Romero and Dollaway should replace Bisping and Munoz, then the ranking would be accurate.

I agree, Munoz has been losing badly lately, and Bisping has been gone for a long time, only to come back and lose.

btw bisping does not belong in the top 15

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Good to see Gegard where he belongs. Kennedy/Moose please and Rockhold/Jacare II for #1 contender.
