Hominick replaces Palaszewski at #10.

Bantam:
Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez drop off as they are now Flyweights.
This leaves room for Michael McDonald and Bibiano Fernandez to debut in the top 10.

P4P
Frankie Edgar and BJ Penn fall off.
Dominic Cruz and Benson Henderson debut at 8 & 9.


We are internally testing the waters for ranking Flyweights.
Unfortunately, not a whole lot of fighting history out there to make a well informed top 10.
It's pretty clear that the top 3 (no particular order) are Joseph Benavidez, Ian McCall, and Demtrious Johnson. Jussier da Silva and Yasuhiro Urushitani likely round out the top 5. After that it's just a mess at this point to make an official top 10.

Nicely done as usual stock

I can't believe I missed this... Updating the tabbed html page now.

Whoda thunk that Mark Hunt would ever be in the Top 10 and in the hunt for a title in 2012? Thats fuckin nutty to me! I hear a rumor going around that his next fight will be against Struve... if so we can rack another one into Hunt's UFC win column.


It kinda sucks that Okami had to drop a few spots due to that odd KO, since he was dominating that fight. Hope he bounces back.

Yeah, Okami actually didn't fall as much as I thought he would.
