Following recent events in the UFC, WEC, DREAM, and Sengoku, we’ve updated the featherweight and lightweight pages in our Power Rankings section. To summarize…
FW: Bibiano Fernandes enters for the first time. Hatsu Hioki and Raphael Assuncao rise slightly, while Wagnney Fabiano plummets. WEC 44‘s scrap between Mike Brown and Jose Aldo could alter the top 5. Josh Grispi and L.C. Davis lie just outside the top 10.
LW: Gray Maynard enters for the first time. Shinya Aoki solidifies his place at #2, while Joachim Hansen and Gesias Cavalcante fall. Josh Thomson officially drops off the list due to inactivity, but if he can make it through a training camp without injuring himself, the winner of the rematch between him and Gilbert Melendez could potentially re-enter. Mizuto Hirota and Tyson Griffin are also close. UFC 107‘s match between BJ Penn and Diego Sanchez could alter the top 5.
Give ‘em a look and let us know how you feel…

commentsHonestly Jackoff you cant win this argument at all. Do us all a favor and go play in the street blindfolded. Better yet the Freeway.
Have a good one :]
-At the time that he fought Heath Herring, the Texas Crazy Horse was thought to be a u[p and comming star that pride was tryingt o build up.
-He smashed through Mark Coleman who had won the Pride Grand prix a couple years back and was also thought to be a good match up for him (Coleman just beat some 205er thats like half his age now)
-He beat Big Nog when they were both ranked up at the top 5 of the HWT rankings (Big Nog is still ranked in the top5 btw)
-He pummeled the most feared striker in the biz CroCop when he was in his prime.
-It took 5 rounds for Couture to beat Sylvia where as it took only 30 seconds for Fedor to beat the former champ
-Arlovski was out in one punch another former champ
-And as for the whole TK thing, he was only awarded the tko because of a cut asshole. He didnt "BEAT" him he won because of a cut. They rematched years later and Fedor CRUSHED him.
What other HWT do you know of off the top of your head that has gone without losing for this long. Honestly thats unheard of in this sport all together much less in a division where any clean punch from any HWT can take you out.
Do yourself a favor Jackoff, SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP, go watch TUF or something.
have a good one :]
And Sobral doesnt count because hes hardly a heavyweight, shit the guys not even a big 205.
I'll give you one to make it easy so you dont spend all night on google, Cro Cop who looked like shit in their fight.
out of 30 fights you fucking moron name 5 that were legit fighters at their prime. I'm using logic and have been since this fedor cock riding thing began.
He fights out of shit shows and doesnt fight anyone, why the fuck do you think hes something hes not.
And "no MMA fan would say that about fedor" is eat shit retarded. It should say "no Fedor fan would say that about Fedor".
Ive been in this game longer then almost all of you and I love MMA more then anyone, and i can tell you a couple things. All Fedor has done for MMA is show that a good fighter can beat a bunch of rejects and no names. All Fedor has done is get the kimbo treatment from his shows. the fact that you show such die hard fan boy-ism is sad. Its not like im calling you a fucking wanna be.
he should be dropped!
since im making an ass of myself name 5 fights out of his thirty that were against legit fighters in their prime... go ahead find one fucking person. He lost to TK who fucking sucks by TKO i dont see him as unbeatable or even legit until he fights a true world beater and comes out on top.
Carwin and Gonzaga have heavier hands, you cant dispute that there bigger guys with more mass. And Lesnar despite being a tremendous asshole is a very good wrestler on top of being very well conditioned and strong. Fedor would be unstoppable at 205 but at heavyweight hes a dinosaur no matter what you think. the days of non 265ers is over. Skill is less of a factor then size and strength, look at gsp vs anyone. Look at how long matt hughes dominated.
Mousasi should be higher up even with his lack of "top-notch" fights. I mean look a that guy fight, he's one of the sickest fools out there. Babalu was relatively highly regarded and was squashed by him with ease. I'd love to see him fight Machida after he gets some more experience.
And I think you guys mixed up that Fedor guy with Minowaman in the p4p
That being said, the only thing I really take issue with is Yamamoto being ranked #6 in the featherweight Top 10. Two years is a looooong stretch of time in MMA. Such an extensive lay-off compacted with the loss to Fernandes (and all the lumps he took with injuries/concussions/etcetera during that time off) doesn't, in my mind, warrant even being ranked Top 10.
That may sound very "what have you done for me lately," but...well, so what? This IS MMA we're talking about.
I don't like Fedor but the man is a beast and will continue his winning streak against Rogers.
..."brock lesnar couldnt beat this asshole your a moron"
Is there some unwritten rule about Lesnar supporters being required to have their posts fraught with spelling and grammatical errors?
1.Allister 'my hand hurts so I can't pee in a cup' Oveream
2.Josh 'but it was over the counter' Barnett
3.Sean 'someone spiked my protein' Sherk
4.Ken 'the worlds most roided out man' Shamrock
5.Antonio 'Big needle of Horsepiss' Silva
6.Tim 'like i'm not buff enough' Sylivia
7.Stephan 'but I lost to Griffan twice' Bonner
8.Phil 'the New York needle in my ass' Baroni
9.Hermes 'but Sherk was doing it first' Franca
10.Kit 'I thought it was ok because I slept with Gina' Cope
Honorable mention to Nick 'but I have Glaucoma' Diaz
I'll be shocked if Brett beats Fedor. Everything about the guy just seems tailor-made for the Last Emperor. He's not even watching tape on him because he's afraid he'll "get in his head." Comical. If you're afraid to watch tape on somebody, he's already in your head, dude.
Shut up. You're embarrassing yourself.
