UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre cemented his legacy as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time at UFC 129. There are some that would disagree with that statement, but St-Pierre’s extensive resume speaks for itself. Bare in mind, the French Canadian fought the majority of the bout with one eye, but all of […]

These are uncertain times for women’s mixed martial arts. Strikeforce has been the industry leader in female fights, while the UFC has maintained that it has no interest in putting women in the Octagon. So now that the UFC runs Strikeforce, does that mean women’s MMA is endangered?
Not necessarily. The Strikeforce women were invited to the UFC’s recent fighter summit in Las Vegas, which indicates that Zuffa thinks women have a future within the company, and next month’s return of the sport’s biggest female star, Gina Carano, will result in a publicity boost for women’s MMA.
So as I review the top 10 female fighters in mixed martial arts, I’m confident that it’s a list of fighters whose futures are bright. Even if I’m not sure where and when most of them will fight next.

We haven’t updated our rankings of the Top 10 middleweights in mixed martial arts in quite some time because, frankly, Anderson Silva has made it a boring division.
That’s not to say Silva is boring: When he’s on his game, he’s as exciting as any athlete this sport has ever seen. And it’s not to say the other fighters in the division are boring: There have been plenty of good middleweight scraps over the last few months.
But ranking the middleweight division can get boring because not much changes: It’s always Silva on top, and a familiar cast of characters competing for the right to be Silva’s next victim.
But there are some indications that the middleweight division in mixed martial arts might be getting a little more interesting. Yushin Okami is finally scheduled to get the title shot that was promised to him months ago, Chael Sonnen is finally getting close to being cleared for a return, and the addition of Strikeforce middleweights (starting in July with Jason Mayhem Miller and likely including Strikeforce champ Jacare Souza soon) may inject some new blood into the middleweight class.
So now is a good time to update our list of the Top 10 middleweights in mixed martial arts, keeping an eye on what’s ahead for Silva and the other top fighters.

It’s hard to believe that Georges St. Pierre could win his ninth straight fight, defending his welterweight title in front of 55,000 fans in one of the biggest events in UFC history, and have it feel like something of a letdown.
But that is how St. Pierre’s unanimous decision victory over Jake Shields felt to many fans: We’ve seen this so many times — St. Pierre spending 25 minutes demonstrating that the other man in the Octagon is simply nowhere near as good as he is — that it’s starting to feel routine. And that’s not how one of the greatest fighters in history stepping into the Octagon should feel.
So are there any challenges remaining in the welterweight division? We’ll look at that question as we run down the Top 10 welterweights in MMA.
