October 3, 2011 Pro Rankings

Here are the latest rankings from Dan, Rick, and myself with the help and advice of our many readers! We threw out a lot of changes in some weight classes as well as kept the status quo in other areas. In many areas of NorthEast MMA rankings, we all must defer to Dan and Rick, as these two gym rats have forgotten more than the rest of us know on the subject at hand. (more…)

AUGUST PRO RANKINGS:
From: Old School

It’s August, and that means it’s time to update our Pro Rankings. Sir Rick is busy this week, so I am filling in on the prelims. (more…)

It’s that time again fight fans, new rankings are on the way! The last couple times we’ve done rankings, we’ve put out “preliminary rankings” so you guys can voice your opinion, and point out some things we may have missed. This time around, I decided to post the 2010 Final rankings, along with every listed fighter’s activity since the last rankings were posted. It’s really amazing to look at, as some weight classes had almost no activity, and others were littered with it.

As always, rankings aren’t always black and white. For example, a loss like the one Luiz Rodrigues had to Calvin Kattar may actually make his stock rise. He looked great in the loss, and was fighting a guy ranked well above him. Also, Tom Moreau’s loss may not drop him down the rankings as nobody below him had a win over a top ranked guy. I think you guys get the point by now. So let’s get this thing going, here is where we left off, and what’s happened since…how do you have ‘em ranked??

These will likely change a bunch before the final rankings are released, but before we rack our brains wrapping them up, I wanted to let you guys throw your two cents in. I’m sure we missed a few guys, so take this opportunity to tell us who we missed!

Some things have changed since the preliminary rankings. Some guys had some big wins, and other guys changed weight classes. Check ‘em out and voice your opinion.

I decided to take someone’s advice recently and post “preliminary” rankings, and let you guys pick them apart, then I’ll release official rankings next week. We always seem to miss a guy or two, or forget about a big win one guy had or something like that. So please take a look  at the guys listed below and let me know what you guys think.

As always, the rankings take into account what guys have done, not what we think they can do…so if there is a guy who is 2-0 that hasn’t beaten anyone tough yet, but we know he’s a killer and could likely beat a ranked fighter, he stays off the rankings until he does. We also give much more credit for a win than we punish guys for losses. The example I’ll use is Dennis Olson. He had been on a tear lately up until losing at Bellator. However, the fight was at 185 and on short notice, so I have a hard time dropping him down the list. Had he lost to another fighter ranked below him, sure…that fighter would have jumped over Dennis, but that wasn’t the case.

Please ask any and ll questions, and please throw out names I may have accidentally left out and we’ll take into account your opinions before releasing final rankings.
