Munoz lost to Chael & Okami and his best win (Maia) dropped to WW. Bisping should be higher & I think all 3 SF MWs are well rounded enough that they're top 10.
Bisping lost to Wanderlei, and hasn't beaten anyone on this list. Munoz has. Maia defeated Sonnen. As for Kennedy, Jacare, and Rockhold, we won't know what they can do against elite opposition until they face them. Their best wins are against one another, and Kennedy has a loss to Mayhem Miller. Then again, it isn't like they're *that* far behind Stann right now.
