Welterweight Rankings
April 19, 2011
Just like last weeks rankings, #1 is as clear cut as Ariel Helwani against any other MMA reporter. Nick Diaz was the first ever fighter to stop Daley by strikes, how much of a boost did that give him in the rankings? Anthony Johnson easily took out Dan Hardy, see if it gave Johnson enough to crack the top 10. Where does Kampmann land after another controversial decision loss to Diego? Lastly, is Jake Shields #2 before his title shot with the king? There are many questions in this Welterweight decision, see where we believe these fighters are ranked.
