Why is Karo ranked that high??? The guy has not won a fight since 11/17/2007

those rankings are garbage

Idiots!

Heavyweights
Looks pretty good IMO - nice to see Carwin up there. He really impressed me in his last win.

Light Heavyweights
Rich Franklin isn't a MW anymore? I'd also think he'd still be top 10 LHW. If I'm correct, he's never lost at that weight?

Middleweights
Good list

Welterweights
Who has Jake Shields fought?
Karo that high above Hughes? Boy Sherdog really hates on Matt!

Lightweight
Sure seems to be a lot of LW talent outside of the UFC.

my main problem is with WW, not just because matt being so low, even though I disagree with that as well...Shields at 4, no, Kampmann shouldn't be that high, Karo shouldn't be that high, Condit shouldn't be above Matt...WW is a disaster IMO...LW, Aoki should not still be number 2, he should have never been there to begin with

Yeah, my problem is the WW list as well. Shields and Karo on that list is a joke. Only people who belong above Hughes is GSP, Alves, Fitch, Thiago, and a BIG maybe, Koschek. Hughes is still #5 or #6 on that list. Sherdog just wants him off of there. At least they got ride of Serra, lol

Matt should be #3 or at least 4 . Koschek and Fitch both lost to GSP, so did Matt, but Matt has a 1st round victory over him.
Just looking at the records it's almost laughable that they put Matt at 10. 7 losses for all those fights?
I guess I'm preaching ot the choir!
