Note: Nick Diaz, Jason Miller, and Jake Shields were all recently issued disciplinary suspensions by the Tennessee Athletic Commission for their roles in the post-fight brawl at the Strikeforce event in Nashville. Like all fighters who are serving disciplinary suspensions, these fighters have temporarily lost their eligibility to be ranked, and they will regain their eligibility to be ranked as soon as their disciplinary suspensions have ended. Shields’ three-month disciplinary suspension began on June 9; Miller’s began on June 16; and Diaz’ began on June 23. Gilbert Melendez’ three-month disciplinary suspension has not yet begun, due to the fact that his consent order has not yet been received, so he has not yet lost his eligibility to be ranked.

LOL at this comment ^ WTF. That can’t be real
How can Gino Carano be ranked #1 in the world when she lost her last fight which happened to be a World Title fight
Notice the date of the last update Colin.
Respectable rankings…but comments to the side show that they are quite biased…which has no place when ranking…
Come one already with the Lesnar hate….
Lesnar hate is good for the soul
No one can defeat Brock. He will crush Carwin and everyone else in the top ten. UFC has the greatest champion they could ever want.
