Global-MMA Rankings (Outside UFC) - August 2013

MR.WILLIE wrote:cd.....do you think huckaba should be in the contenders??? 4-0 is his last 4 his last loss was against top ranked grabowski by dec...10-1 is his last 11

In my opinion, I think the only contender worth passing is Russow, only because he's been inactive since his release.

If it were up to me, i'd keep Huckaba outside of the contenders, firmly behind the likes of Graham.

If you ever have time CD, feel free to make the necessary adjustments to the women's rankings if you want to make that an official part of the rankings and see what we end up with.

imo huckaba, rolles and graham should be close to be ranked....


russow i think he is retired needs to go until he fights and sergei is not an mma fighter anymore, get rid of him

Personally, I have it ranked as Graham, Ishii, Rolles, and Huckaba.

 I think Huckaba is real close.  I just dropped Russow based on the post before.  Who knows what he is doing, he may be retired.  I put Rolles Gracie in the last spot to fill in for Russow.  I've had Rolles sitting in the 16 spot for a while waiting for someone to drop.  If Ka loses his upcoming fight in M-1 he could drop out and be replaced with M-1 finalist, Huckaba, Ishii, or Graham.

 I will try to look them over this week.  We can get them added in the September rankings coming up in a few weeks.  I took a look at them a bit and so far they look good to go.  Just some orgs. need to be added to some of the fighters.

I have to think that both Graham and Ishii are ahead of Huckaba, just based on their body of work.

Graham has three victories against ranked opponents and I think Ishii should get the nod based on Rizzo, Sylvia, McCorkle, Le Banner, and the draw that should've been a win against Filho.

No rush on getting them out honestly. We can wait until next year, if we have to. The UFC adding a women's division kind of threw 125-145 through a loop.

 Yeah, some good points.  So if Ka loses, or some drops out, the line up right now could be Graham, Ishii, and then Huckaba.

 Yup, Rolles should be in next month, unless another HW gets added to the top 10.  I think Russow is done unless I hear anything different.  Been months since his UFC release and not a word about him so I dropped him from the rankings to add in Rolles.

cd...keep an eye on hornbuckle he is fighting dennis hallman this month at titan fc

 Yeah, I've been considering him since he won the DEEP belt.  Hornbuckle and Suzuki are at the top of the WW list.

Cd.....what to do with mike Kyle if he beats arlovski?

MR.WILLIE wrote:Cd.....what to do with mike Kyle if he beats arlovski?

 If he beats Arlovski I think he should move up but should remain behind Rumble at LHW.   He is a LHW and they are fighting at HW but that would be a huge win for him.  Other ranking systems allow this as well.  Rumble should have probably moved up after beating Arlovski but we kept them locked in their spots.  If Arlovski loses he should move down the ranks.  If Arlovski wins he should move up and Kyle should move down a bit depending on how the fight goes and how they look.

Just a heads up, #3. Georgi Karakhanyan likes the rankings over at Junkie

i got you, but you cant count the lebanner 2011 win and the draw with filho 2011...

his biggest win is sylvia in 2012 also....


his win vs mccorkle is soso, rizzo is old as fuck, schall did not fought like in 4 years and clayton jones is 0-2 as an am and 0-2 as a pro...that is his 2013 resume, not that impress to be ranked....

huckaba may not have the big names but he is 11-1 in his last 12, his only loss to top ranked grabowski, he has big wins vs k-1 veterans sefo and carter williams by ko not a grind out dec....he has a ko to the samoa seumanutafa(who by the way is a good hw mma fighter 8-3)

so i have graham ahead of them, but to be honest i dont like satoshi's resume as of now to be ranked fighting as a side show is a pro wrestling event

 I wish Ishii would go to a bigger promotion.  Same with Lashley, Rogers, and some others.  You would think these other orgs. would be trying to pick up some of these HWs.  A lot of promotions could use improvements in those divisions.

No love for waylon lowe at FW? he's on a 4 fight KO streak.

If he takes out Georgi in his fight coming up, he will be top 5.

September rankings will be coming next Friday.  Have to post them early this time since I won't have time on Sunday to post them up.
