Are the next writer predictions for UFC 95?

301 days ago

Its that time again. Time for the 3rd edition of B/R MMA rankings. We will be ranking our Top 5 fighters in each division (lightweight-heavyweight) and doing a Top 10 P4P rankings.

A few notes: For P4P feel free to include fighters from featherweight or bantamweight. A fighter who hasn't fought in over a year he is ineligible. As far as Rich Franklin and Dan Henderson, Franklin will only receive votes at light heavyweight and Dan Henderson will only receive votes at middleweight. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask. Keep in mind that Diego Sanchez is fighting at 155 at UFC 95. I would lean toward voting for him at lightweight (if he is in your top 5) but technically he is still a welterweight so use your best discretion. please email your submissions to chode722@yahoo.com and in your subject line put: your name and B/R MMA rankings. Thanks for taking the time to vote!
