Bloody Elbow, for MMA and UFC news

Following his second straight loss to #1 Ben Henderson, #4 Frankie Edgar is making the move to featherweight.

Zuffa has nine of the top 10 spots locked down with #8 Michael Chandler the only non-Zuffa fighter claiming that honor.

Neither fighter moved up or down as a result of the terribly boring fight between #4 Gray Maynard and #7 Clay Guida.

#5 Nate Diaz moved up the rankings and into title contention with his win over #9 Jim Miller.

#3 Gilbert Melendez will make his next title defense against #17 Josh Thomson.

Some might dispute that Ben Henderson defeated previous #1 Frank Edgar, but there is no dispute among our panelists that Henderson is the #1 lightweight in the world.

#1 Frankie Edgar is set to defend his belt against former WEC Champion #4 Benson Henderson this Saturday in Japan.

Nate Diaz has reasserted himself as a top 10 lightweight following his battering of Donald Cerrone.

#8 Donald Cerrone & #13 Nate Diaz will meet tomorrow night in a fight that promises to be a fight of the year contender.

By far December's biggest lightweight fight scheduled is #2 Gilbert Melendez vs. #24 Jorge Masvidal at Strikeforce's 12/17 event.
