A new month is time for a fresh start and thus, I've decided to start up our own set of rankings for the 5 major divisions. Since this is the first set of rankings, we'll just focus on the top 10 in each of the 7 major division with expansion coming in subsequent months. The ranking system is complex computerized software that takes into account recent record, strength of schedule, talent and other factors.
Heavyweight
- Brock Lesnar
- Fedor Emelianenko

Mike Brown is rated over Gamburyan why?
Is it because Gamburyan just lost to #1 and Brown beat a nobody in their last fights? If so that makes no sense. Why would losing the #1 take you down and beating a nobody raise you?
Losing to #1 should not drop you in an individual sport.
Also why the hell is Nick Diaz #6? Sorry but who has he beat at WW to deserve that?
Why is Kampmann above Daley? Pretty sure we know how that ended… Not like Daley lost to a nobody he lost to the #3 WW.
Also if you say there is a “complex computerized software that takes into account recent record, strength of schedule, talent and other factors” then describe how it works..

oh and lol @ Ben Henderson
I’d much rather have the WKR’s staff make their top 10 lists rather than a “complex computerized software”.

Because despite losing to Manny, I believe Mike is more talented than Manny
They both lost to Aldo and Manny did beat Mike, but Mike has beaten much more fighters and much better fighters at 145.
Again, it’s not only record, it’s also about talent in regards to Nick Diaz.
Kampmann is a better fighter than Daley. Kampmann’s wins at WW are better than Daley’s, despite Daley’s win.
You’re right, I should’ve shown the complete computerized method. I will do it next time.

You know
Some would consult the other members of a website before putting out rankings for said website.
That said, I guess I could just post my ballot for the USAT rankings. I get that you hate Carwin, but no way should he be below Overeem.
