Notable Info (Things Beyond the Top 10)
- Dan Henderson is on the cusp of the Top 10 “Absolute” list. A win over Babalu should help propel him into #10 within the next few lists, displacing Chuck Liddell.
- Yushin Okami has moved up to #13 on the Middleweight list. At only 29, it seems likely he will quietly make the Top 10 someday.
- Although it’ll still require a decent amount of work, B.J. Penn is trying to become the 3rd fighter to appear on more than one divisional list, along with Couture and Henderson. Its still in the distance, but possible. He has few fights in the division and that is what is holding him back. A win over Fitch and a charge at the title, could see him challenging for a Top 10 spot in the next couple years.
