In the wake of UFC 95, WEC 39, and UFC 96, we’ve tidied up the heavyweight, light-heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, and featherweight top ten lists in our Power Rankings section. Some notable changes…
— Shane Carwin enters the heavyweight list at #9 after taking out his first Top 20 opponent in 69 seconds.
— Keith Jardine leaves the light-heavyweight list (temporarily, at least) after his loss to Quinton Jackson on Saturday. He may have beaten a post-peak Chuck Liddell and a pre-peak Forrest Griffin, but it’s unclear if he has what it takes to beat a high-level opponent when they’re at their best.
— Robbie Lawler and Jake Shields drop a spot due to inactivity. Not their fault, but whaddya gonna do. Luckily, their stints in Strikeforce begin soon.
— Josh Koscheck falls to #8 on the welterweight list after being upset by Paulo Thiago. Kos definitely still has the talent of a top-ten fighter — he’s just made some unfortunate choices.
— Jose Aldo ascends to #6 on the featherweight list after his fourth brutal stoppage win in the WEC.
Check ‘em out and let us know if you see things differently.
Unrelated, but important: Thanks so much for all your awesome nominations in our Best MMA Bars forum thread. We’re going to start compiling our list soon, so if you have any others to share, please let us know!

commentsDurp?
Beating two IFL guys (with horrible ref standups) does not make you a top 5 HW.
- Rampage is higher than Machida on LW ranks but not on P4P ranks (Machida is)
-Chieck Congo would beat Tim Sylvia or Josh Barnett comfortably
-Diego Sanchez is fighting in LW now - not WW
@CanadianProduce - yea he has the belt but other than Forrest and Chuck who has he beat? If not for the point deduction he would have lost to Tito and his fight with Bisping was very close (could have gone either way)
I would have put Rashad at maybe 7 or higher. I just think that its too early to start putting him that high up. Just like when some P4P lists had Forrest as high up after he won the belt. Lets see him defend it first.
I also don't like Florian being down @ number 5, I think he should be a top 3.
Yeah i have and it feels amazing especially if you put maple syrup on your balls
Rashad to high? While wearing the belt?
@ Geriatric
Agreed, bring the Cain..
Who should Carwin fight next ?
rabbit punch carwin!
