Fitch #5

These sound pretty good. Fitch should probably be a bit higher though.

Some pretty solid fighters were just let go so they should be ranked. Like if Cain was just let go, we would have to make him number 1 HW. Fighters will move in and out of these rankings to and from Zuffa.

fitch has to be top 5 imo...volkman top 10, russow top 10 for sure...matyushenko can also be top 10...

4 really good fighters....i see wsof and bellator getting 2 a piece of this 4...

I'm thinking volkman possibly in contenders. Sass has a recent win over him but has dropped two straight so I think Sass should remain off the list as well.
