Lightweight Rankings
April 26, 2011
Eddie Alvarez seemed to have a bit of trouble with Curran to many peoples surprise, Gilbert Melendez made a statement with a dominant victory over Kawajiri. Shinya Aoki bounced back from his disappointing Strikeforce debut, making quick work of Lyle Beerbohm. See where we rank Edgar and Maynard before their third fight at UFC 130. Lastly, do either Bendo or Bocek rank for their overlooked UFC 129 fight?
