If you look at the current Sherdog rankings (which I tend to mostly agree with), only 7 Brazilian fighters are currently ranked in the top 5 in ANY division and only 7 other's are ranked in the top 10. And most of these guys are either on there way out because of age, or because they're declining. I listed them below. The only guys I see having a realistic title aspirations from this list are Jacare, Dos Anjos, and possibly Moraes.
What gives? There was a time when Brazilians held a stranglehold on MMA. Excluding the women, it seems like Brazilian MMA is at a low point. Theories?
HW- Werdum (JDS is at at #7)
LHW- NONE (Glover is at #7)
MW- Jacare
WW- Dos Anjos (Lima is at #6, Maia at #8)
LW- Barboza
FW- Aldo
BW- Assuncao, Moraes (Lineker at #7)
FlW- NONE (Da Silva is at #6, Reis at #7)
