The Top Tier is amazing: GSP, Fitch, Penn, Shields. And the rising stars are the most promising of any division: Condit, MacDonald, Ellenberger, Kampmann, Hathaway, Kim, Story, Sadollah, Brenneman, Hendricks, Ebersole. How do you rank them?

In determining the 2nd place figher, the question is: What is better, former champ with a 20something second KO of a mid tier fighter, or lackluster grinder with enourmous win streak?

??? Is that the clearest, most perceptive way to look at that? OK. You asked a direct question, and I think you're entitled to a direct answer.
BJ - Loses 2 in a row to a very small LW, looks terrible against Fitch, and has a MUCH worse W-L record.
Fitch - Hasn't lost since his loss to GSP, didn't quit in his GSP loss, pounded BJ in the 3rd round of their fight, beat a big WW in Alves in what was touted as a fight to determine top condender, and can anyone on Planet Earth possibly image Frankie Edgar beating Jon Fitch??? Not in a gazillion years, my good friend.
You know I respect your MMA opinions off the chart, but everyone has the right to defend an impossible position. I like your rankings of 1,5, 7, 9. But I wish you switched 2 & 3, and dropped Kos to 9 or 10.

Diego is now in an impossible position. They will only feed him guys on their way up, with lesser names than him. They'll get the bump, he won't. And Koscheck is in somewhat the same position. There is no way I can justify ranking Josh over Diego. Can anyone explain it to me, as if I were 10 years old? Leaving their last fight to the side for the moment?
I don't think Ellenberger or Story can beat Diego. If Diego defeats Ellenberger, I hope to see him moved up on all of your WW ranking cards. Any hope of that, my friends?
