This is the first rankings that I feel are 'way off', mainly the amateur.

Bud Lawson just captured the Kickdown title and he's ranked last?

Luckily we get to do these rankings again in a few weeks. Hopefully people get to see some of these fighters fight in that time.

If truxell beats Camozzi, then he will prove to me that he deserves the number 2 spot.

It looks like we have a pretty good matchup for the 18th with Dwan Wast and Dean Trinkline. The # 1 and #2 guy in the viewer rankings fighting each other.

I agree Mike. Even Sebastian Puente at 5th??? That kid is good. I think its just a matter of not a lot of people seeing most of these fighters in person. Some of them I had a hard time with too. Now that we are moving into the lower weights I think a lot more people will have seen these guys fight so it will make it a little easier.

Obviously this is a good thing. I think this will drive people to fights to see these other fighters fight. I would have Bud Lawson in the top 3. But there are obviously alot of fighters to catch up with and learn about

yeah that's what's cool about this whole thing, it's one huge learning experience, and once people get used to other names, then I am sure we will see some different type of rankings.

A good idea is that when ever a weight division is spotlighted again, have a "what they have done recently" part where it tells if a fighter has won a fight, or lost a fight and to whom"

How are we going to be ranking people in the top 3 when they haven't even fought here in Colorado in how long? I think Joe is a great person and an excellent fighter but lets get him in the ring/cage before we actually start ranking him.

I'm fighting in RingWars Aug 31st then defending my Kickdown belt on Sept 15. Now that my necks healed up I plan on fighting as much as possible to make up for lost time and move myself up the rankings as fast as I can.

I've noticed no one has posted a comment in a while but Puente just beat Lawson in the 2nd round at Kick Down in Casper. I've got to say he should be #1.
FYI- Puente and McPeck both train at Evolution Fight Club in Fort Collins. Great School

wait wait wait, so a #5 ranked guy beats a #10 ranked guy and he should be number 1?

i think this whole voting for # 1 thing by the public is retarded, but still, beating number 10 makes you #1?

BTW nice commercial for you school EFC.

i just kicked McPeck ass in a grapling contest i guess i should stay #1, lol jk i think there is a better way if you have these guys enter a ten man terny and let them fight it out over two months or do a team thing like "ifl" no more talking

I do like the tourney or team concept though

First staging some super Grand Prix type tourny that spans months....for amatuers is pointless, and honestly doesn't even intrgue me what so ever. Maybe with Pros, on the bigger stage, but def not local ammys.

The team concept to, is another thing. yeah it was cool, and mayeb for a one shot thing, but whos the "best team" wouldn't be answer at all. Results, and people who fight for that team, and what they do makes who is a better team.

also there is no 189 champ, you mean 185 champ? again, for what belt, and that doesn't really answer any questions at all.

I was responding to a comment posted of Lawson being the Kick Down champ so he should be #1. If that's the case Puente who just defeated him should then be #1. Sorry if I didn't address that I'm a bit new to this.

We'll be doing updated rankings come the first of the year. These were done a few months back and A LOT has changed since then.

Stay tuned...

Donnie Liles from Colorado Fight Factory just beat the snot out of Cruz Chacon recently. Let's get Donnie Liles in the top 5 pro middleweights.

These rankings are pretty old, and I think were taken when Liles was still fighting at 170. And from what mike says, it won't probably happen anytime soon.
