The UFC is in a win/win situation right now in the LHW division with Rashad being the #1 contender and Rampage/Jones fighting for the belt right now...Regardless who wins at 135 the UFC has easy fights to sell in Rashad/Jones or Rashad/Rampage...Which would you rather see?

I very much want to see Alexander Gustaffson step up his competition level, that kids starting to look like he could be the next big thing. Where the hell has Thiago silva been ?

I think Shogun/Hendo would be better then Machida/Hendo...Two aggressive, heavy handed strikers with insane chins.

@danno I agree with you man. Hendo/Shogun would be a hell of a battle. Even Hendo/Forrest. That'd be quite a co-main event as well. I don't think Machida's wife will let him fight Hendo anyways.

@DV8, I wanna see how Gustaffson shapes up too, he looked really good! And to answer your question, he's most likely been online buying steroids I'd imagine!

The Davis/Machida fight isn't that great to me, if Machida wins that doesn't really do anything for him. The closer it get's i'm getting pumped for Jones/Page.

I think Jones/Rashad is the grudge match to see right now, considering we've already seen Rashad/Page and it was complete ****. I think the Rashad that showed up against Tito could pose a real threat to JBJ.

LHW rankings updated!

Now that Daniel Cormier has had a fight at LHW, does he make your top ten rankings? I have him at #4. The division continues to be spectacular with several top ten bouts all set in coming months. I don't really see anyone ready to dethrone Jones but he still has a very tough schedule with dangerous opponents literally lined up one-after-another to test his chin. Great year to be a fan of the 205 lb. division.

He is top 10 on talent alone but I would like for him to beat someone in the top 15 before I rank him. I don't have Nog ranked because he is 37, broken, and hasn't fought in over a year... Phil beat Gus and Machida (lol) but he gets no love. GT is ranked too high in most rankings, Rashad too low. All IMO and doesn't make a **** of course

The new UFC rankings are out and Cormier made #6 on the list. I think he'd smash #5 Little Nog and probably find a way to beat #4 Phil Davis. Nothing's ever guaranteed of course. http://www.ufc.com/rankings
