The Official Fighters.com MMA Rankings

Quinton Jackson 1. Quinton Jackson (29/6/0)
4-0 since his "Rampage" came to the cage, Jackson has out-wrestled Olympians Matt Lindland and Hendo and became the only man to put Liddell on ice twice. He’s earned Fighters.com’s top rank, but losses to Rua and Silva whisper questions from the past.
Dan Henderson 2. Dan Henderson (22/7/0)
To think 205 is Hendo’s other weight class is astounding. A UD to Vitor Belfort paved a path for him to hold the PRIDE belt after a KO of long-time champ Silva. Henderson came up just short of unifying titles in a slog with ‘Page. Until next time?
Ryoto Machida 3. Ryoto Machida (11/0/0)
Versus Sokou, the undefeated “Dragon” proved he could fly high and finish. His measured style is as tough for opposition to decipher as it sometimes is for fans to watch. His “W” column reads like a who’s who of MMA, but Machida needs stoppages to ascend.
Keith Jardine 4. Keith Jardine (13/3/1)
A blip on Jardine’s record to Houston Alexander belies focused performances over Liddell and Griffin; or, is it the other way around? Regardless, “The Dean of Mean's” roller coaster will play bumper cars with "The Axe Murderer" this month.
Forrest Griffin 5. Forrest Griffin (15/4/0)
The TUF 1 champ dug himself out of the “one hit wonder” abyss with an impressive stoppage of touted Rua and earned a UFC gold run versus Jackson. But like Jardine, Griffin has proven beatable on any given night.
Chuck Liddell 6. Chuck Liddell (21/5/0)
Liddell has faced the toughest schedule the last two years, but fell consecutively to Jackson and Jardine. He looked tough in his return to winning in the long-awaited face-off with Silva.
Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou 7. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (4/2/0)
Sokou had been punching fighters out of their top ten ranking until he ran into Machida, but there’s no shame in tapping to “The Dragon”. His career has been too brief to predict whether his future is north or south of his Fighters.com #7 ranking.
Mauricio Rua 8. Mauricio Rua (16/3/0)
Whether injury, energy, or focus was the issue, Rua debuted in the UFC with a loss to then-struggling Griffin after earning the kudos of many with PRIDE wins over the likes of Alistair Overeem and Kazuhiro Nakamura.
Tito Ortiz 9. Tito Ortiz (15/5/1)
Ortiz has served as gate keeper to the UFC gold in a win over Griffin and draw with Rashad Evans, but was unable to last three full rounds with then champ Liddell. Machida at the end of May will show whether Ortiz is ready for another shoot to the top.
Wanderlei Silva 10. Wanderlei Silva (32/8/1)
It hasn’t been a bloody mess for “The Axe Murderer” that last two years, but he’s been the victim of two of the best light heavyweights in the world in Henderson and Liddell.
