The Very Unofficial Rankings - Post UFC 109

 

Here they are.  Sonnen and Thiago saw good movement with breakout performances.  I removed a lot of inactive fighters and cleaned up the divisions.  Let me know if I missed anything.

 

* For anyone new to looking at these, they are based off a formula that I came up with about 2 years ago to bring some order to the chaos of UFC divisional rankings.   They are not my personal opinion of who’s the better fighter.  It rewards fighters based on strength of opponent, if they finished the fight, and how fast the fight was finished.  It is an experiment.  And before anyone asks, Shogun is low b/c the loss to Forrest hurt him a lot, and beating Coleman an Chuck didn’t get him a lot of points since they were not highly ranked at the time.  That and the judges say he lost the Machida fight so I am respecting that.
