Who Tops The Latest Mma Pound For Pound Rankings?

Now that we’ve had a few events to kick off 2010, Iet’s check out the latest MMA pound for pound rankings.

10. Jake Shields (Strikeforce) — (24-4-1)

The former EliteXC welterweight champion, and natural welterweight, recently added another belt to his collection defeating Jason “Mayhem” Miller to win the vacant Strikeforce middleweight championship. Look for him to return to the cage for his first title defense against the newly acquired free agent Dan Henderson.

9. Jon Fitch (UFC) — (21-3, 1 NC)

Fitch’s handy work is not always pretty, but it is certainly effective. He is one of just four fighters ever who have won eight or more consecutive fights in the UFC along with Anderson Silva, Royce Gracie, and Lyoto Machida. Overall, he has won 11 of his 12 fights in the UFC losing only to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 87.

8. Shinya Aoki (DREAM) — (23-4-1 NC)

Aoki is arguably the best 155-pound fighter in the world not named B.J. Penn. After dominating Japan, the submission specialist is flirting with the idea of coming to the United States to take on current Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez in a potential unification bout.

7. Gegard Mousasi (Strikeforce/DREAM) — (28-2-1)

This Fedor Emelianenko disciple is a superstar in the making. After storming on the scene and winning the 2008 DREAM middleweight tournament he made a seamless transition to the United States and the Strikeforce light heavyweight division, capturing the 205-pound title in his debut. What is scary is that he has yet to reach his full potential at the age of 26.

6. Jose Aldo (WEC) — (16-1)

Aldo is coming off the biggest win of his career defeating long time WEC featherweight champion Mike Brown in dominant fashion to become the new title holder. He is (6 – 0) since joining the WEC and has won all of his fights by knockout. At the ripe old age of 23 he is fast becoming one of the best all-around fighters in the world.

5. Lyoto Machida (UFC) — (16-0)

The undefeated Machida is coming off an unimpressive and controversial unanimous decision victory over a very game Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 104 in what was undoubtedly his toughest fight in his UFC career. This karate specialist, known to many simply as “The Dragon,” should be better prepared for the rematch that is likely to take place sometime during the first half of 2010.

4. B.J. Penn (UFC) — (15-5-1)

Penn is considered by many to be the top lightweight fighter in the history of the sport. After back-to-back victories over top contenders Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez this veteran continues to impose his dominance time in and time out. He has not lost at 155-pounds since November 2001.

3. Georges St-Pierre (UFC) — (19-2)

St-Pierre has been making it look easy for some time now in one of the deepest divisions in the UFC. He’s successfully defended his welterweight title three consecutive times. He’s putting his belt on the line against British striker Dan Hardy at UFC 111 on March 27.

2. Anderson Silva (UFC) — (25-4)

After what many called lackluster performances against Patrick Cote and Thales Leites, Silva reminded everyone why he is still the most dangerous striker in the world with a thorough dismantling of Forrest Griffin at UFC 101. He has yet to lose a fight in the UFC.

1. Fedor Emelianenko (Strikeforce) — (31-1, 1 NC)

After roughly a decade in MMA, Emelianenko is still at the top of his game. Had it not been for a controversial stoppage due to a cut early in his career his record would be unblemished. He has simply done it better and longer than anyone else on the list.

About the Author

Pound for Pound $3.95 "Pound for Pound" is a big novel in the truest sense of the word, a story of family, honor, perseverance, and forgiveness. Set in towns where violence is the norm and success stories take on an almost mythic importance, it tells of grand-fathers and grandsons -- older men for whom life has not been easy and the young men who look to them for guidance -- and reveals the transformative power of that relationship. Dan Cooley, an aging but legendary Los Angeles trainer, takes on a troubled young fighter named Chicky Garza, hungry to make a name for himself in the San Antonio boxing circuit, which is rife with crime and corruption. The bond between them grows more powerful than the obstacles they face, ultimately reviving in each man the courage it takes to triumph both in and out of the ring. This masterful, posthumous novel follows Toole's remarkable fiction debut, "Rope Burns" (recently published in paperback as "Million Dollar Baby"), which earned comparisons to Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, and Frank McCourt, and which became an Academy Award-winning film four years after publication. As James Ellroy says in the foreword, "F. X. Toole did not live to visit the set or hug the stars at the premiere. The rumor was true. He had a bum ticker." It is a tragedy that the world will not hear more from F. X. Toole, but "Pound for Pound" is a novel that any writer would be proud to leave behind, marking his place in the world of letters.

Pound $10 Pound

Pound Ridge $13.21 Pound Ridge began as an isolated town where shoe making, dairy farming, and basket making were the main occupations. It is blessed with being located slightly away from main highways, industrial development, and commercial sprawl, and during its first 200 years of settlement, Pound Ridge's isolation was also its greatest asset. In the late 19th century, the town had key local industries that provided employment for its residents, but by the time of the Great Depression, the town's population had dwindled to around 500 residents. During the 1960s, Ye Great Meadow on Long Ridge Road was the alternate site for the United Nations world headquarters. Pound Ridge features rarely seen archival photographs of important events and buildings, as well as maps and historical narrative that span 300 years.

Lebanese Pound $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Lebanese lira is the currency unit of Lebanon. It is divided into 100 piastres French but inflation has eliminated the subdivisions. The plural form of lira, as used on the currency, is either lirat or the same, whilst there are four forms for qirsh: the dual qirshan, the plural qirush used with numbers 310, the accusative singular qirsha used with 1199, or the genitive singular qirshi used with multiples of 100. In both cases, the number determines which plural form is used. Note that before the Second World War, the Arabic spelling of the subdivision was (girsh). All of Lebanons coins and banknotes are bilingual in Arabic and French.

Hound Pound Narrative $29.95 This is a detailed ethnographic study of a therapeutic prison unit in Canada for the treatment of sexual offenders. Utilizing extensive interviews and participant-observation over an eighteen month period of field work, the author takes the reader into the depths of what prison inmates commonly refer to as the hound pound. James Waldram provides a rich and powerful glimpse into the lives and treatment experiences of one of society's most hated groups. He brings together a variety of theoretical perspectives from psychological and medical anthropology, narrative theory, and cognitive science to capture the nature of sexual offender treatment, from the moment inmates arrive at the treatment facility to the day they are relased. This book explores the implications of an outside world that balks at any notion that sexual offenders can somehow be treated and rendered harmless. The author argues that the aggressive and confrontational nature of the prison's treatment approach is counterproductive to the goal of what he calls habilitation -- the creation of pro-social and moral individuals rendered safe for our communities.

PacMan: Behind the Scenes with Manny Pacquiao--The Greatest Pound-For-Pound Fighter in the World $23.95 Manny Pacquiao, 31, was recently named "Fighter of the Decade" by the Boxing Writers' Association and is the only fighter ever to capture seven championship belts in seven different weight classes. But few could have imagined that Pacquiao would have ever reached the pinnacle of his sport, considering his background. He ran away from home--a cardboard shack in General Santos City in the Philippines--at age fourteen. After making his way to Manila, and eventually the United States, Pacquiao hooked up with trainer Freddie Roach in 2001, and, from there, his fighting career took off. Named one of "Time" magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" last year, the aptly nicknamed Pac-Man is a fascinating figure who will go down as one of the greatest boxers in history.

Ezra Pound Modernist Man (Biography) $20.79 Ezra Pound Modernist Man is the biography of Ezra Pound, an American expatriate poet, critic and intellectual who was a major figure of the Modernist movement in earlytomid 20th century poetry. Pound was the driving force behind several Modernist movements, notably Imagism and Vorticism. In 1920, Pound moved to Paris, where he moved among a circle of artists, musicians, and writers who were revolutionizing the whole world of modern art. On October 10th, 1924, Pound left Paris permanently and moved to Rapallo, Italy. Because of his political views, his support of Mussolini, his opposition to central banking and the charge of antiSemitism, Pound acquired many enemies throughout the second half of the twentieth century. Historians and scholars generally agree, however, that he played a vital role in the modernist revolution in 20th century literature in English. Ezra Pound Modernist Man is highly recommended for those interested in learning more about this controversial poet.

Stone Cottage: Pound, Yeats, and Modernism $19.96 Although readers of modern literature have always known about the collaboration of W.B. Yeats and Ezra Pound, the crucial winters these poets spent living together in Stone Cottage in Sussex (1913-1916) have remained a mystery. Working from a large base of previously unpublished material, James Longenbach presents for the first time the untold story of these three winters. Inside the secret world of Stone Cottage, Pound's Imagist poems were inextricably linked to Yeats's studies in spiritualism and magic, and early drafts of The Cantos reveal that the poem began in response to the same esoteric texts that shaped Yeats's visionary system. At the same time, Yeats's autobiographies and Noh-style plays took shape with Pound's assistance. Having retreated to Sussex to escape the flurry of wartime London, both poets tracked the progress of the Great War and in response wrote poems--some unpublished until now--that directly address the poet's political function. More than the story of a literary friendship, Stone Cottage explores the Pound-Yeats connection within the larger context of modern literature and culture, illuminating work that ranks with the greatest achievements of modernism.

The performers turn out to be heroes, defenders of the wild, including the son of John Henry. They are hiding the last of the mythical Swamp Sirens from an ancient evil known as the Gog. Why the Gog wants the Siren, they can’t be sure, but they know it has something to do with rebuilding a monstrous machine that John Henry gave his life destroying years before, a machine that will allow the Gog to control the will of men and spread darkness throughout the world.
