Rankings

Hey all, I realized it's been too long since my last rankings came out so here they are in all their (brief) glory:

Pound for Pound:

1. Fedor Emelianenko (up one after Silva's poor performance last week)
2. Anderson Silva
3. Georges St. Pierre
4. BJ Penn
5. Antonio Rodrigo Nogeuira
6. Urijah Faber
7. Miguel Torres
8. Forrest Griffin (up one with Gomi losing ground at lightweight)
9. Lyoto Machida (into the top ten with Fitch remaining inactive and Machida's record still 13-0)
10. Shinya Aoki (rebounding nicely in Sept gets him on the list esp after moving up in weight)

Also receiving consideration: Takanori Gomi, Lyoto Machida, Quinton Jackson, Rashad Evans, Eddie Alvarez, Thiago Alves

Heavyweight:
1. Fedor Emelianenko
2. Anotonio Rodrigo Nogeuira
3. Andrei Arlovski
