I think Frankie Edgar could move down and own this division. He could get manhandled a little by bigger guys like Maynard. 

"Grrr."

I'd like to see Edgar vs. Aldo. I don't know who would actually win. Frankie Edgar is just one of those fighters that you just can't ever count out of any fight.

I like your rankings.. but if I am ranking them on merit and not like, I gotta have tyson in the top10 b/c Manny was a top10 FW.  I need to see more of Zhang... I like your guts putting Yahya in there.. I have always said he is vastly under-rated.  Patricio will be in my top10 as soon as he is the FW champ in Bellator.. and it will happen!

Zhang has no place in the top 10... neither does Garza... otherwise they look okay.  Florian should be in there.

I think Patricio will be a force to be reckoned with but he still needs better opposition and also to whoop Warren's ass.

@Cash.. agreed.  I just found out talking to my bro on the phone.. ironic.  I had no idea he pulled out.

@Krazy.. the only glaring omision I see on your list is Hioki.. but not a lot of "western" fans now of him.  @Gregory.. I think Koch is a little green to put him ahead of Sandro and Omigawa.

Joe Daddy at 6 after the loss is a little crazy... especially having him ahead of Tyson!

I think Aldo has a strangle hold on this division for the foreseeable future

No comment on Joe Daddy @soccer?  Roop at 9 is insanity!

I've seen stranger things in rankings like GSP the #9 ww!... As for Roop you're right he gets a boost for the amazing HK KO of KZ at WEC 51!!! In reality Tyson should be around there!!
