UFC 136 will be co-headlined by #1 Jose Aldo as he defends his title against former top lightweight contender #4 Kenny Florian.
Also on the Facebook portion of that card will be #20 Darren Elkins taking on the unranked Zhang Tie Quan.
Unrelated to any upcoming fights, take a gander at Derek Suboticki's ballot and wonder as I did whether he's watching the same fights you are.
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.
