The fans finally get the fight they've been waiting for since January when #1 Frankie Edgar defends his belt a second time against #2 Gray Maynard at UFC 136.
That event will also feature a bit of a squash match between #8 Melvin Guillard and unranked Joe Lauzon as well as an interesting contest between #10 Anthony Pettis and Jeremy Stephens.
UFC on Versus 5 has a couple noteworthy lightweight fights with #23 Donald Cerrone taking on Charles Oliveira and #6 Jim Miller facing #14 Ben Henderson.
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.
