FightMatrix: Ranking the TUF Season 9 Welterweights

All fighters are ranked using their FightMatrix rating points as of 4/6/09.

Awesome, though...

It looks like these might not be terribly predictive. In the first episode, #8 Wilks defeated #1 Mills, #10 Osipczak defeated #6 Maguire and #11 Amasinger defeated #9 Reid.
