UFC 127 saw a rare draw between #2 Jon Fitch and #6 B.J. Penn and the two will likely face each other again at UFC 132 in July.
#11 Martin Kampmann let himself get drawn into a slugfest with the technically inferior #9 Diego Sanchez and paid for it with another decision loss.
The two highest ranked welterweights outside the UFC will meet in San Diego on April 9 as #7 Nick Diaz and #10 Paul Daley headline Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley.
#1 Georges St. Pierre is set to defend his title against #3 Jake Shields at UFC 129. If he retains the belt, he'll likely face UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva in a super fight.
#4 Thiago Alves will face the criminally underrated #23 Rick Story at UFC 130
Based on the premise that all MMA rankings are subjective but that it’s still useful and informative to know who the online MMA community as a whole ranks as the best fighters in MMA, we collect and average the rankings of the top MMA websites to produce our consensus rankings. We compile the top MMA rankings from each of our sources and award 25 points for a first place ranking, 16 for a 10th place ranking, 1 for a 25th place ranking. A formula is used to "normalize" the data so all fighters are awarded points from those lists that do not include a full 25 fighters. This formula ensures that each ranking site awards the same number of total points regardless of how many fighters they choose to rank. Each fighter’s total is divided by the number of possible points to determine their standing in the Consensus Rankings.
