How is this guy not ranked top 10 at Featherweight? He's beaten Micah Miller, Mark Hominick and Jens Pulver, 3 top guys at the time in the WEC in a combined total of 4:28. 13-1 in his career.
Raphael Assuncao is ranked 4th by mmaweekly and 5th by sherdog.
Manny Gamburyan is ranked 7th by mmaweekly and 10th by sherdog.
Gamburyan hasn't been nearly as impressive as Gripsi.
He'll be top 10 after his next fight.
Who is he fighting next?
what/when is his next fight?
great fighter.
He's been out for going on year now, hasn't he?
Fightmatrix is the only ranking system that means anything. It is based on math... record, opponents' records, depth, etc. (at least to my knowledge it is something like that).
They have him at 10
wonder who there gonna have josh fight next, he deserves to get a title shot if he wins his next fight.
He's at 9 in ours:

Really rate him - one of the best prospects in MMA, if you can even call him a prospect anymore.
rumored vs Gamburyan, last fight was June; I think he had surgery on his ankle late Sept / October. Surprised he hasn't had a title shot, the way I have heard some talk about WEC contracts' is 'if I put together 3 wins, the 4th would either be for the title or for the #1 contender spot...'
He was ranked above Jose Aldo in last months Fight! mag. I think at number 5.
what's his nickname again? "the fluke" right? dudes awesome. All his fights are exciting and I'm pretty sure he posts here. He will be huge this year. beep
I heard rumors of a fight with Gamburyan too. Hope he beats Manny up.
