MMAWEEKLY WORLD MMA RANKINGS UPDATED

[Shogun Locc]

The latest MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings were released on Wednesday, October 10. This system ranks the top ten MMA fighters from all across the world in each of the six largest 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.

Here are the current MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings, which are up-to-date as of October 10.

How in the hell is Chuck still in the top 4?

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Because Matt Serra is the top WW in the world!!!!!!!

MMAWeekly has always had garbage rankings. The only person they are fooling the newest MMA fan of the week.

 

[BELLY408]

Matt serra's been ranked number 1 for awhile now....thats some bullshit.

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

These rankings fucking suck. MMAweekly, you fail. again.

 

[WXS STOMP3R]

funny how Fedor is always #1 yet Kid Yamamoto isnt ranked due to inactivity.

sherdog rankings isnt any better

I WAS GONNA SAY THE SAME SHIT...AND EVEN THOUGH BARNETT BEAT RANDY...I THINK COUTURE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RANKED HIGHER THAN BOTH NOG AND BARNETT. FEDOR AND BARNETT HAVENT FOUGHT FOR AGES.

 

[PsyDaL]

I never liked the way MMaweekly ranks fighters. Frank Trigg? Everytime I hear about him fighting hes always on the losing end but never fails to fall off the top 10 ranks.
