Notes-
Wanderlei and Randy were both left off for pretty much the same reason (two of my favorites FYI)- Wandi has fought at 205 and 195 but has yet to fight at 185 so that’s why he’s not there. Couture has dropped from heavy to 205 and honestly; I believe he is done at heavyweight. His last fight at 205 he was beat soundly and being as that is the toughest weight class in the UFC I do not believe he’s up there...yet.
Yes, I gave ties… get over it… ;)
I would list Fly but I have not seen enough of the spider monkey division to effectively rank them.
Nick Diaz is the catchweight king… he has no desire to stick in a weight class so it is hard to rank him.
Shields said on numerous occasions he would like to fight at WW but there is a lack of real competition currently. If he abandons the weight class completely then I would move him up.
Also as for P4P, for those of you who do not already know my feelings about this take the top couple guys in each class and throw darts at their names and that's your P4P list.
