This goes for Henderson, Franklin, and Wanderlei and Anderson Silva. It is absurd to rank Henderson below Franklin in either weight class. Similarly, it is crazy to rank both of these guys above Anderson Silva, including at 205, where Silva has competed recently (against Irvin) and will compete again for his next fight (against Griffin). Here is a sensible LHW Top 10: 1. Machida 2. Evans 3. Griffin 4. Jackson 5. A. Silva 6. Henderson 7. Rua 8. Liddell 9. Franklin 10. W.

Like Nick Diaz could be ranked at MW and WW right now. Basically, as long as a guy hasn’t committed to just one weight class he can be ranked for multiples.

And if he can, then why is he behind Franklin (who he beat) at LHW? How can Henderson be ranked at both MW and LHW? And if he can, then why is he behind Franklin (who he beat) at LHW?
