1. Anderson Silva
Is often seems as though Silva will be perched here for an eternity. With few credible challengers left in his own middleweight division and Georges St. Pierre seemingly content to stay at welterweight, Silva may just sit here until he retires.
2. Georges St. Pierre
We figured last month that St. Pierre had cleaned out his division, but that was before Dana White pulled a rabbit named Nick Diaz out of his hat. Diaz is now a UFC fighter and will get an immediate title shot against St. Pierre this October. It means St. Pierre can stave off demands that he switch weight classes, at least for a few more months.
3. Jose Aldo
Aldo wasn’t the least bit impressive in victory over Mark Hominick at UFC 129, and he’s now on the shelf nursing myriad injuries that will keep him out of action until the fall. That is, of course, unless his injuries bad enough that they keep him on the shelf until 2012. Nobody really knows the story with Aldo these days, and nobody close to him is talking.
4. Jon Jones
Jones was injured and having surgery, and then he wasn’t. It’s a fairly simple explanation for what seemed to be a complicated situation, but the end result is that Jones will face Quinton Jackson this September instead of Rashad Evans in August. It’s not the fight fans really wanted to see, but it’s interesting enough to keep them captivated.
