This is the top 10 as I think most organizations will perceive it:
#1. Quinton Jackson - Undisputed Champion
#2. Wanderlei Silva - Former Elite Fighter, Long Layoff, Highly Anticipated Return
#3. Forrest Griffin - Knocked off #1 in the world, Fan favorite, TUF winner
#4. Dan Henderson - Competitive loss to Undisputed Champ
#5. Keith Jardine - Win over biggest name in MMA (to the casual fan)
#6. Mauricio Rua - Loss, but will remain highly ranked until defeated again
#7. Chuck Liddell - Will stay in the top 10 until he retires or loses to a lower-tier opponent
#8. Houston Alexander -Dominant but unproven
#9. Tito Ortiz - No longer in his prime, important rematch coming up that will likely decide much of his future
#10. Rashad Evans - Unproven, needs a win over Tito to move up anytime soon
