UFC 134 is being headlined by undisputed #1 Anderson Silva and the last man to defeat him #2 Yushin Okami, but it also features #19 Rousimar Palhares vs. #23 Dan Miller.
UFC Fight Night: Shields vs. Ellenberger will mark the return of #16 Alan Belcher against unranked Jason MacDonald.
UFC 135 doesn't have any ranked middleweights, but the winner of Nick Ring vs. Tim Boetsch will almost certainly make this list next month.
Finally, #4 Ronaldo Souza will defend his title against Luke Rockhold at Strikeforce: Heavyweight Grand Prix Semifinals.
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.
