As we see, some devisions didnt get any changes, but some been interesting especially the

Light Heavyweight devision.

Anthony johnson has jumped 9 places and we can see Chael Sonnen fallen 2 places and one place before Rua.

Since he won vs Rua and they mostly have the same scoring shouldnt Chael be nr. 8 ?



In the Middleweight nothing much changed, except that Thales Leites is significantly climbing up the ladder.



Erick Silva and Ryan Laflare makes a curious case as well in the Welterweight.

Ryan LaFlare 4-0 and Erick Silva 4-3 in the UFC. Yet Silva is over LaFlare.

Anyway his next match matt brown will decide the lower part of the Welterweight devision.






So What Does MMASHARE Thinks?
