Pound for Pound

1. Anderson Silva
   Middleweights tremble. Taking out Henderson, Franklin (x2), Marquardt, Lutter and Leben and none of them looked like they had a chance.
   
   
2. Fedor Emelianko
   Fedor came off some time off inactivity as well as some fights that were easy for him to knock out two former UFC champs in the first round.
   
   
3. George St Pierre
   Hughes (x2), BJ (x2), Fitch, Koscheck, Serra, Trigg, Miller, Sherk. Quite the hitlist.
   
   
4. Miguel Torres
   He's beaten....everyone at 135 basically and during his fights looks more dominant than even Anderson Silva.
   
   
5. Thiago Alves
   Big year taking out Hughes, Parisyan and Koscheck.
   
   
6. Forrest Griffin
   Forrest stepped up to fight Shogun when Shogun was unstoppable. That bold move got him his fight with Jackson, who he also beat.
   
   
7. Quinton Jackson
   Chuck, Hendo and Wanderlei. Despite a fumble to Forrest when he's on his game I think his combination of Boxing and Wrestling make him the best light heavyweight out there.
   
   
8. Lyoto Machida
   I can't argue anymore. He's insane and tough fight for any A level lhw out there.
   
   
9. Eddie Alvarez/Shinya Aoki
   Both these fighters were impressive in the Dream Tournament. Aoki going through Calvacante and Uno where Alvarez went through Hansen and Kawajiri. Aoki lost to Hansen (who Alavarez beat) but tapped Alvarez in the last fight for both fighters.
   
   
10. Urijah Faber
    Despite his recent upset loss, then man has been tearing through 145ers like a buzzsaw. Look to see him return with a vengeance. Winning a rematch with Brown and beating Garcia will put him back in the top 5 pound for pound and hopefully set up a pound for pound dream match with Miguel Torres.
    
    
    Other notables: Kenny Florian has been smashing people left and right and his upcoming fight against BJ should be one of the best lw matches we've seen. Sherk as always is dominant despite his loss to BJ. Demian Maia has the skills to be a top 3 middleweight, he just needs the matchups to prove it. Josh Barnette will be Fedors toughest fight when they finally meet.
