I almost forgot to do this one. Not sure how that could be, given that all three fights previewed here resulted in shifts in the rankings, but here I am, three days after the event, just catching up. Anyway, I was wrong about two things, one I said, and one I only implied: first, Mike Russow beat Jon Madsen, contrary to be totally uninformed pre-fight speculation; second, Anthony Johnson really was bluffing when he claimed not to be interested in taking Dan Hardy down, which just goes to show that Johnson is smarter than most of us thought. I was right about Phil Davis beating Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, though if I could choose one fight to have been wrong about, that would have been it.
Anyway, on to the rankings:
