UFC 143 came to a close this weekend, and just like that ,the welterweight rankings had lost one of its premier competitors.

Now that the dust has settled on one of the most important welterweight fights in recent memory, it’s time to take a look and see where top level athletes settle in, and more importantly, it’s time to see whether Georges St-Pierre was able to hold off Carlos Condit and retain his spot atop the division.
These rankings are the combined effort of some of Bleacher Report MMA‘s best writers, as we continue to try to provide you with the best content on the web.
