I must say I'm loving this site more everyday, you guys have so much detail and knowledge of the mma world that it makes me happy to be a fan/future fighter. These rankings kick so much ass (better than sherdog and all of these Zuffa nut huggers mma sites) that I feel that there are nothing wrong with them except for Katsunori Kikuno on HM besides Nick Thompson, but it's cool. But any way keep up the good work.

can Monson really drop to 205? i like the ranking but replace #20 buentello with someone else. i think he was brought in to feed to Duffee. too bad that fight didnt happen.
