Question??? Is there a ranking system in either UFC or Pride? I searched the UFC site and found only an alphabetical listing of fighters by class. I think if there was a better advertised ranking system, so we could learn who the fighters are more people would watch. Otherwise you really don't have anyone to root for that wasn't on the show.

Nope, no official rankings. All the rankings are done through polling by various MMA news organizations. Of course you can easily spot the contenders based on how big of a push the companies give them.

Here are some rankings I would have to say they look pretty damn close. I would love to see Fedor and Arlovski go at it but of course we will never get to see that unless Arlovski leaves the UFC.

Some other great fights I would like to see that we probably never will

Wanderlei Silva -vs- Chuck Liddell or Randy Couture

BJ Penn -vs- Matt Hughes

Penn has already beat Hughes. Although, that was really before Hughes started to roll.

Nonsense, he had already beaten Trigg, Sherk, Mach Sakurai, and Newton twice before he lost to Penn.

In other good news: It turns out that the Finale had really good ratings.

It would be great to see them go at it again. BJ has his own Rumble on the Rock now though so it won't happen. I think BJ wold probably win again but I would really like to see it. Since I am doing predictions I think Fedor would win as well. THe light heavyweights is a toss up, I would love to see them go at it.

Then the info I saw was inaccurate. I have tried to find the link again, but I have been unable to do so. If I was wrong, my bad.

Either way, I think Hughes is a helluva fighter. Those shots he took from Trigg in the second match would have beat a lot of other fighters. To be hurt like that, and come back took some heart.

Then again, apparently I could probably put a rear naked choke on Trigg.
