The first Sherdog pound-for-pound rankings in 2008 deliver a significant shakeup outside the top three.
Jumping onto the list is Georges St. Pierre (Pictures), who goes from unranked into the top five. Also joining the list for the first time is featherweight Urijah Faber (Pictures), who defended his WEC belt in December against Jeff Curran (Pictures).

Lightweights Gilbert Melendez (Pictures), loser of a tight decision on New Year's Eve, and Sean Sherk (Pictures), inactive while fighting and serving a suspension for steroids, were dropped from the list.

1) Anderson Silva (20-4)
After a career of appearing on pound-for-pound lists before being unceremoniously evacuated, Silva has put together the most impressive streak of his career during a period of monumental upset and inactivity. The only blemish on Silva's record in his last nine fights is his infamous disqualification loss to Yushin Okami (Pictures), but that doesn't prevent the 32 year old from to taking the top spot. Beyond that mishap, he's steamrolled his competition. Moreover, three of his last four wins have come against firmly entrenched, high-standing top-10 fighters. The toughest test of Silva's UFC middleweight reign will come in March when the Brazilian faces the last man to hold the PRIDE 183-pound title, Dan Henderson (Pictures).

2) Quinton Jackson (Pictures) (29-6)
Let there be no mistake, there is certainly a case for putting "Rampage" atop this list. Jackson, alongside Silva, seems to be the only top fighter beating other top fighters in a stretch of upsets and inactivity. His back-to-back wins over Chuck Liddell (Pictures) and Dan Henderson (Pictures) are certainly sterling. However, "Rampage" has the potential to strengthen his pound-for-pound status more than any other fighter because a steady crop of elite light heavyweights appear to be coming down the pipeline for him. Having nursed an injured hand, the 28-year-old Jackson returns to the limelight when he acts as coach on season seven of "The Ultimate Fighter," after which he'll defend his UFC light heavyweight belt against Forrest Griffin (Pictures).

3) Fedor Emelianenko (Pictures) (27-1, 1 NC)
Mixed martial arts' most enduring pound-for-pound figure remains in the third spot. Nothing's changed for "The Last Emperor," except for the only real crucial aspect to this list: fighting solid competition. While Emelianenko's second win over Nogueira and his triumph over "Cro Cop" are not ancient history, his only remotely meritorious heavyweight victory in the last two years was over Mark Hunt (Pictures). A New Year's Eve submission victory over Hong Man Choi (Pictures) did nothing to deter detractors who claim Fedor's status is based on less than stellar competition. The 31-year-old Russian heavyweight king must get back to fighting competitive bouts, otherwise he could squander all that he worked for over the years.

4) Georges St. Pierre (Pictures) (15-2)
Absent from these rankings due to his stunning loss last April to Matt Serra (Pictures), the 26-year-old French-Canadian jumps into the fourth spot due to his impressive submission over Matt Hughes (Pictures) and the fact that he basically cleaned out the welterweight division over the past two years. If he can avenge his loss to Serra this coming April in his home city of Montreal, St. Pierre -- the No. 1 ranked welterweight -- St. Pierre could be considered the most dominant fighter in MMA. If he defeats Serra, a fight with Jon Fitch (Pictures) could materialize in the latter half of 2008.

5) Dan Henderson (Pictures) (22-6)
One of the most recognizable fighters with dual-divisional clout, the 37-year-old former Olympian had repeatedly told Zuffa that he didn't favor a drop to the 185-pound class. Although additional wins at 205 pounds would have only enhanced the Team Quest Temecula leader's pound-for-pound stock, his decision to fight at middleweight could produce one of the best fights of 2008 when he takes on "The Spider" Silva. A win could see him replace Silva atop the rankings.

6) Takanori Gomi (Pictures) (27-3, 1 no-decision)
For all his warts, "The Fireball Kid" is the most accomplished lightweight this young sport has seen. While Gomi's unrequited losses to Joachim Hansen (Pictures), B.J. Penn (Pictures) and Nick Diaz (Pictures) tend to stick out like a sore thumb, he has endured at the upper echelon of his division for seven years with heaps and heaps of top wins. Only time will tell whether the 29-year-old lightweight can continue to accrue those wins in his future home, wherever it is.

7) Shinya Aoki (Pictures) (12-2)
Aoki has solid wins in two weight classes that, at least for now, earn him a pound-for-pound ranking. As the sport trudges onward, though, it is imperative that the 24-year-old submission wizard gets back into action against top opposition. His return to MMA on New Year's Eve was tougher than expected. Fighting South Korean judo Olympic medalist Bu Kyung Jung (Pictures), who replaced Gesias Calvancante (Pictures) on a week's notice, Aoki was nearly submitted twice before finding his rhythm and pulling out a decision victory against the MMA newcomer.

8) Urijah Faber (Pictures) (20-1)
"The California Kid" needed a big win to gain the No. 1 spot at 145 pounds, and he did so with a decisive stoppage over veteran Jeff Curran (Pictures) in early December. That effort combined with his penchant for putting away opponents and an impressive overall record puts Faber, 28, in the Sherdog P4P for the first time. The featherweight buzzsaw will likely get a crack at former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver (Pictures) in his next WEC title defense.

9) Norifumi Yamamoto (Pictures) (17-1, 1 NC)
After establishing himself as a top featherweight, "KID" jumped to K-1 three years ago and moved up to lightweight for payday purposes. Along the way he happened to become a superstar in Japan, where he picked up some solid wins. Now, following his failed bid to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Games as a wrestler, Yamamoto is back in MMA. The 30-year-old fighter stopped Rani Yahya (Pictures) on New Year's Eve, showing once again how explosive he can be. Fighting at more natural weight now (near 135 pounds), Yamamoto could be a quick riser on this list if he is matched with quality opposition.

10) Randy Couture (Pictures) (16-8)
It was a team effort for "The Natural" to fill the final spot. Couture's disciple Forrest Griffin (Pictures) completed the enormous task of knocking off high-standing pound-for-pounder Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in the Brazilian's UFC debut. As a result, Couture's two fantastic wins over Gabriel Gonzaga (Pictures) and Tim Sylvia (Pictures) in 2007 see him slide in the back door of the list. At the age of 44, Couture won't be able to climb the pound-for-pound ranks for long. However, the MMA icon could rocket up the ladder with an epic bout against Fedor Emelianenko (Pictures). His fighting status in limbo, though, Couture may never get that opportunity.

Sherdog`s Pound-for-Pound Top 10 - avgust 2009

1. Anderson Silva (25-4)
After lackluster efforts in his middleweight title defenses against Cote and Leites, Silva drew the scorn and ire of fans, fighters, journalists and even UFC President Dana White. However, in his 205-pound bout with former UFC light heavyweight champion Griffin on Aug. 8, Silva smashed a quality fighter in historically brutal fashion. There are rumblings now that “The Spider” will vacate his middleweight crown in favor of a permanent move to 205 pounds, which would allow him to continue to add to an outstanding resume.

2. Georges St. Pierre (19-2)
Talk had brewed of a pound-for-pound super fight following St. Pierre’s July handling of top contender Thiago Alves, but with Silva’s blowout of Griffin, discussions of St. Pierre-Silva have cooled. That works fine for St. Pierre, who is keen to continue defending his welterweight title. He now awaits his next contender -- the winner of the Mike Swick-Martin Kampmann title eliminator at UFC 103 on Sept. 19.

3. Fedor Emelianenko (30-1, 1 NC)
Just as fellow pound-for-pound kings Silva and St. Pierre had blockbuster summer bouts to add to their respective resumes, Emelianenko was scheduled to meet Josh Barnett at Affliction “Trilogy” on Aug. 1. One failed pre-licensing drug test later, Emelianenko no longer had a fight due to Barnett’s most recent steroid indiscretions. The sport’s heavyweight ruler has since signed with Strikeforce and will make his promotional debut in the fall.

4. Lyoto Machida (15-0)
Many fans and pundits are already calling for Zuffa to put enough money on the table to grease the wheels of a Machida-Silva showdown. Whether or not Machida ever ends up fighting his pal, the Shotokan stalwart still has a date with rejuvenated light heavyweight Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 104 in October in what will be the first defense of his UFC light heavyweight title.

5. Mike Thomas Brown (22-4)
The unassuming featherweight ruler of MMA has turned in a stellar run over the last three years, with 10 victories in a row, including a pair of wins over former featherweight kingpin and pound-for-pound entrant Urijah Faber. As Zuffa continues to gobble up more and more top featherweights under the WEC banner, Brown will have the chance to put together a muscular resume. However, the biggest challenge for the 33-year-old American Top Teamer may be his next one, as he will meet fire-breathing 22-year-old phenom Jose Aldo in November.

6. B.J. Penn (14-5-1)
Penn may be the most gifted fighter on this list. At UFC 101, he showed exactly why the MMA world anointed him from day one, as he put on arguably his most consummate performance as a prizefighter, nullifying Kenny Florian for 15 minutes before routing him in the fourth frame and finishing him by submission. The next challenger to Penn’s UFC lightweight title figures to be Diego Sanchez in the coming months. If Penn chooses to continue his reign as a lightweight -- the role everyone but he himself has long desired -- he will only climb this list and validate his enormous talent.

7. Quinton Jackson (30-7)
Between his energy drink-fueled legal indiscretions, lascivious actions in video interviews and candid quotes, Jackson does not always stay relevant due to his fighting accomplishments. However, Jackson is 4-1 against five straight top 10 opponents in one of MMA’s deepest divisions. His sixth straight 205-pound standout foe will be Rashad Evans in December, after the two square off as coaches on the forthcoming season of “The Ultimate Fighter.”

8. Jon Fitch (19-3, 1 NC)
Fitch does not have the scintillating offense of a Silva, Emelianenko or Penn, and he’s the only entrant on this list who has not won a major title in the UFC, WEC or Pride. What Fitch does possess, however, is a gaudy 10-1 mark in the UFC, as he has racked up top 10 victories in MMA’s historically deepest and most talented division. He may be the welterweight division’s perennial second banana, but that remains an extremely meritorious position.

9. Rashad Evans (13-1-1)
Evans’ first defense of the UFC light heavyweight belt in May was a disaster, as he was dominated from bell-to-bell by Machida. However, Evans will have the chance to get back in line for a rematch with Machida, add to his resume and up his Q-rating. He will coach opposite Jackson on the 10th season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” which will lead up to a high-profile December showdown between the two.

10. Brian Bowles (8-0)
With a gaudy record and an all-out action style, Miguel Torres was supposed to be the first great bantamweight in MMA history, bringing the division to the masses. However, Bowles had other plans, as he punched out the pound-for-pound entrant in the first round, staked his claim as the sport’s top 135-pounder and earned a place on this list. Now, it will be up to Bowles to continue adding to what is quickly becoming a high-quality resume, especially by the standards of a division where historically few top fighters have fought one another. The first defense of Bowles’ newly-acquired crown will likely come against fellow upstart Dominick Cruz.

update Sherdog`s Pound-for-Pound Top 10 - 25.12.2009: stanje leta 2009

(vse lestvice MMA top 10 za leto 2009 na kupu tukaj: http://www.mma.si/si/arhiv_novic/943 )

1. Anderson Silva (25-4)
The year began miserably for Silva, as he underwhelmed against mid-level title challenger Thales Leites to the point of public outrage. However, he turned in arguably the finest performance of his career in August, when he humiliated and demolished former UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin in the first round. Now, an enigmatic elbow injury has disrupted the beginning of Silva’s 2010, postponing a slated showdown with fellow Brazilian Vitor Belfort. However, Silva expects to be healthy enough for his next Brazilian-versus-Brazilian title defense -- hopefully, more entertaining than his last -- come April.

2. Georges St. Pierre (19-2)
St. Pierre got into the cage just twice in 2009, but he came away with two dominant victories over B.J. Penn and Thiago Alves. However, his most significant successes may have come outside the Octagon, as he picked up sponsorships with Gatorade and Under Armour and more deeply entrenched himself as one of Canada’s most beloved athletes. The 2010 campaign for St. Pierre will start at UFC 111 on March 27 in Newark, N.J., when he takes on surging British challenger Dan Hardy.

3. Fedor Emelianenko (31-1, 1 NC)
In Strikeforce’s first foray onto live network television, Emelianenko showed the skills and a flair for the dramatic that have made him one of the best and most beloved MMA fighters in the world, as he thrillingly halted Brett Rogers in the second round. None-too-surprisingly, “The Last Emperor” has been tabbed to headline the second Strikeforce show on CBS come April, when he will see opposition from another standout heavyweight in Fabricio Werdum. A victory over the grappling star would leave Emelianenko with just one more obvious foil in Strikeforce’s heavyweight division -- the elusive Alistair Overeem.

4. Lyoto Machida (16-0)
It may not go down as the worst decision of 2009, but it was certainly the least popular. Machida’s unanimous points verdict over Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in October so inflamed the MMA world that all parties involved agreed to an immediate rematch. Hand surgery on “The Dragon” pushed the date of the fight back until May 1 in Montreal, but it will still be one of 2010’s biggest bouts when it does happen. The whole Machida-Rua scenario should serve as a vivid reminder that the anointing oil is often called for prematurely in MMA.

5. B.J. Penn (15-5-1)
Fans and critics alike always wanted an incarnation of Penn that was keen to dominate the lightweight division. Though Penn’s obvious talent flickered occasionally during his run across multiple weight classes, “The Prodigy” has looked every bit his nickname since his return to lightweight. Two elite fighters in Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez could not mount a morsel of offense against Penn, who dominated them en route to late-round finishes. Of course, conversation has quickly turned to whether or not Penn has already rid the division of all its serious challengers.

6. Jose Aldo (16-1)
Perhaps it is fitting that 2009 will come to a close with Aldo on top of the 145-pound division, punctuating a year in which the featherweight class has played a prominent role on all corners of the globe. Since his World Extreme Cagefighting debut in June 2008, Aldo is 6-0 with six stoppages, including four in 2009 alone. In his WEC title capture over Mike Thomas Brown, Aldo was positively dominant in crushing a pound-for-pound entrant. The featherweight division continues to expand and improve and may have some flux still in store, but Aldo’s youth, skill set and killer instinct have positioned him as a potentially long-term dominant figure.

7. Jon Fitch (21-3, 1 NC)
It’s not easy being Fitch. There was a time not long ago when MMA fans flooded UFC matchmaker Joe Silva’s inbox with demands that the former Purdue University wrestling team captain be put on the UFC 68 main card. Now, Fitch’s potent-but-prosaic grappling has made him a persona non grata among fans, who seem to have little patience for his style. With a tougher-than-expected victory over Mike Pierce at UFC 107, Fitch moved his record to 11-1 in the UFC, in perhaps MMA’s deepest weight class. However, with six straight fights seeing the final bell, some conclusive endings are the only antidote to Fitch’s unpopular position.

8. Mike Thomas Brown (22-5)
Brown remains the number two fighter in a deep and rapidly intensifying weight class. Yet, he seems a forgotten man in light of his one-sided loss to Jose Aldo in November, despite the strength of his wins over Urijah Faber (twice), Leonard Garcia and Jeff Curran. The world may not be clamoring for a rematch between Brown and Aldo, but the American Top Team standout has a wealth of interesting talent to face at 145 pounds. Brown's rebuilding process will begin at WEC 46 on Jan. 10, when he takes on tough Philadelphian Anthony Morrison.

9. Brian Bowles (8-0)
Though Miguel Torres was supposed to be the bantamweight division’s first serious star, that opportunity now resides with Bowles. However, despite how impressive Bowles was in capturing the WEC 135-pound title from Torres in August, that opportunity will be a difficult one to cash in on. The bantamweight division continues to spawn more and more young challengers, rapidly improving their games from fight-to-fight. Bowles will meet one of those contenders in his first title defense on March 6, when he battles once-beaten Dominick Cruz in the WEC 47 main event.

10. Thiago Alves (16-6)
It was an inauspicious 2009 for Alves. After waiting months to challenge welterweight kingpin Georges St. Pierre for the UFC title, he was handed a one-sided loss in his five-rounder against “Rush.” It was a far cry from the 2008 campaign that saw him run over three top 10 welterweights. However, with a crop of new and interesting challenges in the UFC ranks, 2010 may be a rebound year for the Fortaleza, Brazil, native. Alves’ year will begin at UFC 111 on March 27, when he will meet a yet-to-be-named opponent.
