Smoogy I'm stoked to see the Smoogy FC back, and I know rankings are hard to make.

That being said, I gotta tell you I've never disagreed with you're rankings as much as I disagree with these.

LHW is a complete mess, starting with the fact that Wandy was ranked top three... he is now coming off of 2 losses yet he remains #2, while Shogun was formerly ranked #1 and is now #8... all the meanwhile a # 7 - 10 ranked Soko has remained inactive and yet somehow moved up to #3.

I don't want to get into more details like that because I have many, I just have one question, why is it that Jake Shields beats Mike Pyle who isn't even touching the top 20 and that gives him a huge move up in peoples rankings, yet Karo beats a top 20 in Ryo Chonan, and on many lists has moved down in rankings... this boggles my mind. Even if you weren't impressed with his win he still won against a tougher opponent...

EDIT: My bad Smoog I forgot to give you props for expanding your Featherweight division to a top 20. Nice move, that was probably fairly difficult.
