Ranking anyone ahead of GSP is borderline criminal imho.  I'll be updating mine today or tomorrow, but my top5 will remain the way it is... I think I'll shuffle 6-10 a bit though.

No way to logically rank Diaz above GSP unless he beats him.

Here's mine. I think there pretty good. I only took BJ Penn out because he's retired (at least for now) and if he returns I think it will be at LW.

I tried pretty damn hard to get Kampmann back into the top 10, but couldn't find a spot for him

Mine. I took Rumble out, who was at 8, since he's fighting at 185 now apparently.

Encase you guys haven't noticed, Wolf doesn't create his rankings according to logic, or what fighters have actually done, but rather on what he thinks they will do. Good luck with that ;) Like I said before, I expect GSP to soundly crush Diaz and I expect most of the fighters in the top 5 to deal with him in slightly less dominant fashions if he doesn't flame out of the UFC on bad behavior before then.

well see thats where moneylines exist. my 200 dollars when/if diaz wins will be worth around 550 dollars. you would have to bet 325 or 350 to make a 100 dollars for taking gsp.
