The following fighters were removed from this division’s rankings due to inactivity:
Chael Sonnen from #2 on 8/7/2011
Jake Shields from #3 on 4/17/2011
Dan Henderson from #4 on 4/17/2011
Why does Hector Lombard not get any love on here? He quite possibly could be the best MW in the world.
Because unfortunately the ranking criteria is based on fighting accomplishments (i.e. wins and losses) and Lobard doesn't have a single win against a top 20 fighter. For your reference: http://bit.ly/MMARankingCriteria
