Before getting knee deep into the lightweight rankings, I’d like to take a moment to acknowldge Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira’s historic feat this past weekend. He was already a legend, and a first-ballot hall of famer, but with his victory over Tim Sylvia on Saturday, “Minotauro” is most certainly, one of the greatest fighters of all time.
Ranking fighters is difficult business, especially the lightweight division. As I illustrated in Part One and Part Two, because of the vast array of fighters in various organizations fighting between 150 and 160 lbs, coming up with a definitive ranking is essentially impossible. What I can, and will do, is look at some online MMA rankings and offer my critique.
