Global-MMA Rankings (Outside UFC) - June 2013

TehPackage wrote:Top 5 spot for Burkman? Should be 1 or 2 imo.

Agreed. I'm thinking number 2 for Burkman just behind Askren but he could be number 1 in near future.

i agree #1

We could do number 1. Definitely at a minimum number 2 for sure.

cd...i will say this, askren is good but burkman's run right now is epic, i dont think askren can dominate last 3 opponents josh had, the way burkman has just demolish them...

burkman vs askren will not happen, but my eye test says josh is the #1 guy right now

Man, I would love to see that fight.  Sucks these promoters don't work together as often as they should when fights like this come along.  Since they are both U.S. promoters competing in the same space makes it less likely but EliteXC worked with Affliction so it is possible.  I think it's more likely for these promotions to work with orgs. outside their country though.  

Thinking about putting up a poll on top WW, Burkman or Askren.

Poll is up below to vote for Askren or Burkman as top welterweight:

Will the winner of the M-1 HW GP be ranked #1?

Yeah, we can do that. It will have definitely been earned after going through an 8 man GP like that with Monson, Garner, Malikov,...

Great rankings as usual CDF, you are the rankmaster! And Burkman for that number 1 WW spot!

Thanks man.  Burkman is down by 10% right now in the polls.  It is close but its leaning toward Askren to keep the top spot.  Wish we could see these guys actually fight one day.  Too bad MMA is so screwed up in these regards.

After Malikovs win against Monson he should climb the rankings and pass Grabowski and Kharitonov. He has now stopped Monson, Emelianenko and Oleinik. Kharitonov should drop about 4 spots. The rankings would look like this..

1. Alexander Volkov
2. Konstantin Gluhov 
3. Kenny Garner 
4. Magomed Malikov 
5. Damian Grabowski 
6. Jeff Monson 
7. Sergei Kharitonov
8. Richard Hale
9. Thiago Santos
10. Andrei Arlovski

That is what I have pretty much but I have Kharitonov above Monson.  I had Monson above Kharitonov but after he lost, I dropped him below Kharitonov.  I also have Kongo in there since he was reportedly going to Bellator.  If not, I will remove him.

Where will you rank Kongo? He got KO ed in 2 of his last 3 fights so I have him at #10.

Minakov needs to knock off the HW Top 10 both Arlovski for losses & Sergei for inactivity and last loss. The guy is undefeated at 10-0 and smashed everybody he's faced including now in Bellator. Whichever criteria are keeping the too older former-soviets ahead of the young Russian just ain't workin'. For me that is.

I have him as 8 on PC but that could change tomorrow if Hale wins his quarterfinal bout at Bellator.  I wish Zuffa would let us know if they plan to match the Kongo Bellator offeror or not.  They should know by now.

I hear ya.  Minakov could be rising up quick in this Bellator tournament.  If he wins tomorrow he could jump 3 spots and then if he takes the tournament, which ends in August, he will be in the top 10.

After thinking about it, I really think Banario should be dropped in favor of Choi.

Choi will be making his return to the rankings next month.

Where would you place Takaya after the last loss?

I was thinking just ahead of Oishi or possibly even dropping out the top ten completely.

^Just ahead of Oishi and probably Frodo as well.

My HW Rankings looks something like this..

1. Alexander Volkov (Bellator Champion)
2. Konstantin Gluhov (M-1 Global)
3. Kenny Garner (M-1 Global Champion)
4. Magomed Malikov (M-1 Global)
5. Vitaly Minakov (Bellator)
6. Damian Grabowski (M-1 Global)
7. Sergei Kharitonov (RMMAC)
8. Alexey Oleinik
9. Jeff Monson (M-1 Global)
10. Aleksander Emelianenko (Legend)
11. Ryan Martinez
12. Satoshi Ishii (IGF)
13. Richard Hale (Bellator)
14. Thiago Santos (Bellator)
15. Andrei Arlovski (WSOF)
16. Mike Russow (Free Agent)
17. Chaban Ka (M-1 Global)

Our soon to be number four flyweight BJ Kojima has had a change of opposition for his One FC bout in September.

Originally slated to fight #9 ranked Yasuhiro Urushitani for a third time, he'll now be fighting top level flyweight prospect Andrew Leone.

Close to what I have.  Minakov will get up higher if he wins Bellator tournament next month in mine.

I like this fight.  Leone could jump up the ranks with a win here.

MR.WILLIE I would really want to see your top 10 HW Rankings.
