News: Sherdog Pound-for-Pound Top 10

1. Anderson Silva (31-4)
Oh, the drama. After weeks of Anderson Silva and former challenger-stroke-antagonist Chael Sonnen going back and forth in the media, it appears that Silva's shoulder bursitis and associated issues will keep him sidelined into mid-2012. Though his hit list is beyond reproach, if “The Spider” is unable to step back into the Octagon until June, the lucrative rematch with Sonnen -- now unquestionably the middleweight division's no. 2 -- will have to wait. Presently, Sonnen is expected to tangle with rising challenger Mark Munoz in early 2012.

2. Georges St. Pierre (22-2)
A knee strain and a hamstring pull nixed Georges St. Pierre's much-anticipated Oct. 29 title defense against Carlos Condit. However, that same night, former Strikeforce champion and welterweight antagonist Nick Diaz went out in the Octagon and brutally took apart B.J. Penn, earning his biggest career win and another chance to try to fight for the UFC welterweight crown. Come Super Bowl weekend in February, St. Pierre will have the chance to put yet another welterweight star in his win column in his seventh consecutive UFC title defense.

3. Jon Jones (14-1)
In consecutive bouts, Jon Jones has taken apart light heavyweight icons Mauricio Rua and Quinton Jackson. On Dec. 10 in Toronto, he will have the chance to lock up consensus “Fighter of the Year” status when he looks to do likewise to another former UFC champion in Lyoto Machida. Jones' talent seems to have no visible ceiling, and perhaps his pound-for-pound cred, too: if Jones downs Machida, he's looking at a bout with another former UFC titlist and one-time pound-for-pound entrant, Rashad Evans, in what would be one of 2012's most anticipated showdowns.




4. Frankie Edgar (14-1-1)
Frank Edgar is the leader of the pack in perhaps MMA's finest weight class. The Toms River, N.J., native's thrilling Oct. 8 fourth-round knockout of Gray Maynard was exactly the kind of signature performance the champ needed. If Edgar can hold onto the UFC strap, he may quickly carve out a very enviable résumé. Next on tap for Edgar is former WEC champion Ben Henderson come Feb. 26 in Saitama, Japan, in an early candidate for 2012's “Fight of the Year.” After that? Names like Anthony Pettis, Donald Cerrone, Nate Diaz, Joe Lauzon -- not to mention fellow pound-for-pounder and Strikeforce champ Gilbert Melendez -- could be on deck. Talk about a tough schedule.

5. Jose Aldo (20-1)
The top pupil from Rio de Janeiro’s star-making Nova Uniao camp passed his latest test with flying colors. Defending his UFC featherweight strap against former lightweight contender Kenny Florian, Aldo picked apart “KenFlo” from all angles, near and far, across five rounds in October. To date, it is Aldo's most significant win, having dominated the former two-time lightweight title challenger. But Aldo’s next challenge could prove the most rewarding and most dangerous yet: On Jan. 14, “Scarface” will compete in his home country for the first time in nearly five years when he takes on dominant and unbeaten Team Alpha Male wrestler Chad Mendes at UFC 142 in Rio.

6. Dan Henderson (29-8)
Dan Henderson has been consistently viewed as a multi-divisional standout throughout his nearly 15-year career, a reputation forged early by his 1999 Rings King of Kings tournament victory. However, more recently, Henderson has ripped off big wins from 185 right up to heavyweight, improbably re-emerging as a pound-for-pound stalwart at the age of 41. With his epic Nov. 19 win over fellow pound-for-pound entrant Mauricio Rua, Henderson is in line for some big fights that could see him move up not just this list, but also the list of all-time greats.

7. Jon Fitch (23-3-1, 1 NC)
Over the past six years, the former Purdue Boilermaker has compiled a welterweight record second only to Georges St. Pierre, including decision wins over strong divisional standouts Thiago Alves, Paulo Thiago and Mike Pierce. Despite his best efforts, though, Fitch could not put away former two-division UFC champ B.J. Penn in February, and injuries to both men derailed plans for a rematch. However, having recuperated from shoulder surgery, Fitch will take on fellow collegiate wrestling standout Johny Hendricks on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas with the chance of adding another elite welterweight to his list.

8. Dominick Cruz (19-1)
Zuffa’s 135-pound ruler has out-boxed, out-grappled and out-worked all contenders to his belts, both UFC and WEC, since earning his first title in March 2010. In October, it was speedy challenger Demetrious Johnson who came up short in a 25-minute affair, Cruz’s fifth straight title defense. Cruz will face a familiar foe in his next outing as he tries to put a button on his trilogy with Urijah Faber on an as-yet-undetermined date. Faber's Nov. 19 domination of former champion Brian Bowles -- the man Cruz took the title from -- reaffirmed “The California Kid” as the most important and pressing opponent for Cruz.

9. Gilbert Melendez (19-2)
Melendez has looked absolutely sensational in taking out high-level lightweights in recent memory, including the likes of Josh Thomson, Shinya Aoki and, most recently, Tatsuya Kawajiri. Another dangerous challenger, Jorge Masvidal, is lined up to vie for Melendez’s Strikeforce title on Dec. 17. The only unknown is whether “El Nino” will make the jump to the UFC before that fight can take place. If and when Melendez does end up in the UFC, it could give him not only a chance at UFC lightweight gold, but the chance for a positively huge lightweight clash with Frankie Edgar that would crown an undisputed lightweight ruler in the MMA landscape.

10. Mauricio Rua (20-6)
The former prince of Pride Fighting Championships has struggled to find his footing since entering the Octagon in September 2007, and those woes continued on Nov. 19. Rua was pummeled early and surged back late, but ultimately dropped a unanimous decision to ex-Strikeforce titleholder Dan Henderson in a brutal, back-and-forth five-rounder at UFC 139. Since winning the UFC light heavyweight belt from Lyoto Machida in April 2010, Rua is 1-2, a knockout of Forrest Griffin sandwiched between losses to Henderson and reigning champ Jon Jones.



Comments

Interesting!

I totally disagree but thatīs another thing! WTF is Fitch doing up on 7 when Cruz is at 8? Sure itīs unfair to Fitch cause he donīt get all chances he deserves, could it have something to do with the fact that sooo many find him ultra boring to watch? I think so but Cruz is fed the very best and yet he continue to pick them apart and that is more then Fitch has accomplished using his best l nīp nuthugging leech on the back style!



Sorry Fitch but controll is NOT everything when all you do is hang onto other fighters for the majority of your fights!

I known many dissagree with Bones but I do not, in fact I strongly nelieve he will soon intake numero uno for sure! Itīs just a matter of letting him have the fights that will put him up there, give him the fight and he will deliver Iīm sure!

Hendo at 6?? Please let me have a laughter, give him silva again and he will go down Iīm certen of it! In fact I believ Sonnen will put a halt to his reacent wins as well.

And where is the new HW champ?  Na this is bogus imo, on the other hand I do understand the problem with so many good fighters and so few spots on the top 10 rankings! Well, well, it will never please everyone since lots of people (incl me) are affected by their emotions (read fanboy emotions).

Fitch has consistently beaten everyone but GSP in the best division in MMA. He more than deserves a spot near the top of the list.

khm.. Somebody forgot Miguel Torres... If Rua is 10th with 20-6 (3 recent losses) why Torres is not in the list with 40-4 (3 recent losses)?

All guys on the list are great fighters, but I dont really agree with Henderson and Shogun. And although I really hate Fitch and dont really want him on the list, he deserves a spot.

good 1 gb403, yeah might just do that!  

Yeah I hear you rasta, although I really do think a title meen something if you fought the best to reach it. of course a title isnīt everything but should count for something and mr Fitch clearly didnīt deliver on his big night but JDS did so whereīs he at? + There is so many divisions to take into consideration these days and imo there is just not enough spots to hand 1 of em out to him, I do think he has a spot in the upper echelon but 1 of the first 10 with all good fighters out there???

How about swapping a Henderson for another 1 then? Give "hendo" the boot to clear room for "smooth"?
Itīs a good thing we (most of us anyway) live in a free country, cause damn it would be boring if we all though the same right?  

Hay that could be a good ide actually, to create a competition and put up a thread where everyone post their own top 10 rankings. Then we compare them all to create a BMMAT top 10 ranking, then we take all the guys that gave that exact ranking and they can all be finalist in a lottery with the chance to win FL or Points? Whay do you guys think about that? Could be a fun competition imo that also creates our own "in general" ranking? If other admins and/or head admin think itīs a great ide then contact me and letīs do it.


PS: @PpenoO, I hear you buddy! But I think itīs more a "list of the day" so to speak? Otherwise where is Fedor at? But also legends like BJ and pherhapsN. Diaz although heīs a top now. Point is there are many more fighters to consider and way to few spots! Know what I meen?

You ask ten people to rank the p4p top ten, and you usually get ten different lists. With a few exceptions of course.

I guess JDS is gonna have to KO King Kong to get some recognition! JDS has been whooping everyone's a$$ since he came to the UFC! I usually like Sherdog's info but this list is garbage! Jon Fitch, you kidding me? I didn't realize ranking second in the welterweight division can rank a fighter in the top 10 P4P rankings. There is no doubt Fitch is accomplished but being listed as current top 10 in all of MMA. I don't agree, I don't think Fitch or Rua should be on this list. Rua is a future hall of famer but he definitely is not a current top 10 P4P. They should remove Fitch and Rua and replace them in the list with JDS and Rashad Evans. Just my opinion guys!

Turkshurk:

Torres was just the first fighter which came to my mind, but Yeah, where the .uck is N.Diaz? It's embarassing for me, as Diaz is one of my favorite fighter.

All:

Regarding Fitch, if we look the score cards they are great BUT... My opinion is what they are doing in the cage is more like a body domination and not fighting. For me fighting is about punching, kicking etc. than pushing others to the cage all the time and trying just to wrestler the opponent. I think wrestling style is one of the key martial BUT for defending your position. I know my point of view is not professional and many of You are on other side, but I can tell You sincerely, when Fitch is fighting, first I feel bad and almost get sleep. It's so gay and boring style of fight.

Sorry if I hurt somebody with my post.
