UFC Rankings (1-30-08; Keefe)

Here is the first monthly UFC rankings. Tristan and I will both rank fighters 1-10 for the 5 divisions in the UFC. Perhaps we will combine the rankings one day and just have a "Sports Brief Rankings," but for now there will be two separate ones. Again these are only fighters in the UFC/ under contract. No Fedor, Paulo Filho, Matt Lindland, Gomi, Arona, etc. Also I have Dan Henderson in both LHW and MW as his last fight in the UFC was for the LHW belt and his next fight is for the MW belt.
