MMA Top 10 Rankings: Welterweight Division Undergoes Major Shake-up

Taken into consideration are a fighter's performance in addition to 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.

Fighters who are currently serving drug-related suspensions are not eligible for Top 10 consideration until they have fought one time after the completion of their suspension.

Fighters must also have competed within the past 12 months in order to be eligible for Top 10 consideration unless they have a bout scheduled within a reasonable time frame.

Note: Dominick Cruz and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira are ineligible for consideration because they haven’t fought in more than a year. Georges St-Pierre and Martin Kampmann are not eligible they have taken a leave of absence from fighting. Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva is currently serving a drug-related suspension and is also ineligible.

(Fighter’s previous ranking is in parenthesis.)

        Her er litt Qi visdom:

We ought, so far as it lies within our power,

to aspire to immortality, and do all that we can

to live in conformity with the highest that is within us;

for even if it is small in quatity, in power

and preciousness, it far excels all the rest.

Aristotles

       På tide med en ny Chuck:

Dynamitt ble opprinnelig oppfunnet av Chuck Norris, en gang han ville kurere en forstoppelse han hadde fått.

Og så en Chucks Code:

Undervurder aldri din motstander. Du taper like fort for ditt overmot som du taper for din motstanders ferdigheter.

WARRIORS CODE:

1. Do not think disonestly.

2.The Way is to train.

3. Have knowledge of every art.

4. Know the ways of all professions.

5. Know the difference between profit and loss in wordly matters.

6. Develop intuition and an understanding of all things.

7. See that which cannot be seen.

8. Attend even to the seemingly insignificant.

9. Do nothing which is useless.

Kommer Erna og siv til å holde hva de lovte omkring knockoutloven?.. - Eller var det bare tomt mediaskryt??
