MMAWEEKLY WORLD MMA RANKINGS UPDATED

[Shogun Locc]

The latest MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings were released on Wednesday, July 25. This system ranks the top ten MMA fighters from all across the world in each of the five biggest weight classes, as voted on by MMAWeekly.

We take into consideration a fighter's performance in addition to his win-loss record, head-to-head and common opponents, difficulty of opponents, and numerous other factors in what is the most comprehensive rankings system in the sport.

As always, fighters who are currently serving drug-related suspensions are not eligible for top ten consideration, which means that Sean Sherk and Hermes Franca are not currently eligible.

Here are the current MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings, which are up-to-date as of July 25.

Yes it might be.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira got K O'ed , I cant believe they didnt call it after he took that kick to the chin, and i cant believe dude didnt close in, and end him.

 

[Arson]

btw i completly agree with those rankings.

I don't know what fight you were watching but Nogueira was not knockout and was still defending while on the ground. Its heaths fault that he could not finish nogueira. Get over it

 

[Impalas]

A little surprised that shogun's brother wasnt anywhere on that list ninja a beast. And Dan handerson should have been higher on both weight classes.

 

[midwest314]

i think kang would whoop rich franklins ass for him and dan henderson deffintly would lol.. i also dont think matt serra should be #1 even tho he has the belt.. he will be beaten by matt hughes and then hughes will lose it to whoever he has to defend it against

Serra and Gomi at #1's are retarded, Gomi got fucked up in two non title fights in 2006 including his last fight, how is that Number 1 in the world material? Nick Diaz lost like 4 out of 8 fights in the UFC then went to Pride and fucked Gomi up.

Well gomi did avenge his loses to marcus aurelio and the bullshit no contest does not count as a lose.

Regardless of it ending up a no contest due to marijuana, I still watched the "number 1" in the world tap out in his last fight.
