MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings
« on: October 10, 2007, 05:01:41 AM »
The latest MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings were released on Wednesday, October 10. This system ranks the top ten MMA fighters from all across the world in each of the six largest weight classes, as voted on by MMAWeekly.

We take into consideration a fighter's performance in addition to his win-loss record, head-to-head and common opponents, difficulty of opponents, and numerous other factors in what is the most comprehensive rankings system in the sport.

As always, fighters who are currently serving drug-related suspensions are not eligible for top ten consideration.

Here are the current MMAWeekly World MMA Rankings, which are up-to-date as of October 10.

I don't care if Serra did get a win over GSP (it was a fluke).....he's over rated and should be way lower if even on that list of ten at all
