Where Should Rory MacDonald Be Ranked in the Global-MMA Rankings?

Somewhere in top 5 but not 1 imo.

3rd is the best place for him

I say 5th  i don't think he should be ranked number one especially over guys that actually have belts around their waist .

No where until he beats a good opponent.

5th imo

Agreed, I get sick of seeing fighters who come out of the youeffsee get into our rankings immediately. How about they have an actual fight first and we gauge from there?

if you wanna be in GMMA rankings then you need to prove yourself!

I had him at 3rd but looks like 5th has a big lead in the poll. 5th place spot also makes a lot of sense. Looks like we'll be going with 5th rank next month.

That is a good point now that i think about it i had him at 5th but stu and rocksolider are right he should prove himself .

He has some legit wins but 2 losses in a row should put him around 5. I voted 6.

Number of times we have seen fighters leave UFC and they pretty much go on even bigger losing streaks....UFC is hype

rory has to beat Koreshev or a douglas lima first

or else our rankings would be worse than the shitty ufc shill media ones lol

#2 after Koreshkov......any lower is delusional.

He has wins over guys like Woodley and Maia, so this. Koreshkov v Lima 2 for the belt/Rory Mac v Winner of MVP v Gonzalez in a title eliminator.

Absolutely. I don't get why former UFC guys just get put on the rankings. Yes, they may have good wins in the UFC but that's not what this ranking is. It's Global MMA or MMA outside the UFC and MacDonald hasn't beat anyone outside the UFC.

^^^Aren't the rankings supposed to be an estimate of where everybody stands? If it's than there is problem using UFC wins.

Yes it is and no it's not.

I would say 4th, has a win over Maia, Shields lost to him. Wouldn't put him above the current champ and next challenger in his current promotion, an accurate ranking will be easier after him first Bellator fight

Ot what is your guys thought on Fabio Maldonado after his classic with Fedor? Assuming he wins his next fight, what weight do you rank him at, also what place? His incredible performance has to be taken into consideration even in a loss

Man you are thinking MAN!

Unranked. He's never fought outside of the UFC. So we have no idea how good he really is. He's probably all just hype. Until we get a fight outside of the UFC we won't know.
