MMA on Tap February 2010 Rankings

Feb 4, 2010 1:46 PM Bill Reger
Strikeforce Welterweight Champ Nick Diaz

They’re BACK!!!  Here are the latest MMA on Tap fighter rankings. We will be updating these every month or whenever an adjustment is needed, like after a major event for example. The rankings break down into seven different lists of ten, each of them by division.

The most significant move of late sees Nick Diaz break into Welterweight ranking following his destruction of Marius Zaromskis in Strikeforce.  The bout marked the return of Diaz to the welterweight division and his defeat of the highly regarded Zaromskis earned him the Strikeforce Welterweight Title.

If you ever want to compare these with your own or just take a look at the latest update, you can find them under the ?Top 10? category in our features section. A fighter?s previous ranking is listed in parenthesis after his name. The rankings were tabulated by the members of the MMA on Tap staff. Feel free to chime in with your own lists, thoughts, and suggestions via a comment.

How is itpossible that Paulo Thiago, who has be Kos and Swick, and took Fitch to a decision is not on the 170 list… you all are miles off there!

At the time of this set of rankings, Thiago had not yet beaten Swick.  Thus he did not deserve to be ranked off one flash KO of Kos and a decisive loss to Fitch in the UFC.  He had faced no one of consequence in Brazil before entering the UFC.  He also beat Jacob Volkmann in the UFC but was unable to finish him, something Martin Kampmann did via submission in January. 

The next set of ranking may see Thiago jump into the top 10 following his defeat of Mike Swick.

When the new rankings come out early next week, its a guarantee that Cain Velasquez will jump up.  A few other changes should be coming as well so stay tuned.  Thanks for reading.

Time to add the lady’s rankings?

Those heavyweight rankings are retarded.  Nog should not be above Mir since Mir destroyed him recently.  Fedor should not be number one because he doesn’t fight the best of the best. 

Frank Mir destroyed Kongo in 60-seconds, who went three rounds with Cain.  Frank is the best of the best - except for Shane and Brock, who beat him bad.

Should be:

1.  Brock
2.  Shane
3.  Frank
4.  Cain
5.  Fedor
6.  Junior
7.  Nog
8.  Brett
