Here is the top 5 UFC Welterweights rankings for February.
1. George St Pierre
2. Jon Fitch
3. Thiago Alves
4. Josh Koscheck
5. Paul Daley
Number 1 has to go to champ and dominant force is Canadian GSP. GSP has beaten everyone put in front of him, his skills are ever evolving and has beaten Jon Fitch, Thiago Alves and Lightweight champion BJ Penn. He defends against British contender Dan Hardy at UFC 111 on March 27th.
Second is impressive all round fighter Jon Fitch, Fitch has already lost to GSP but hasn’t lost to anyone else in the UFC. He has taken apart all the other fighters, he takes on Thiago Alves at UFC 111. This is due to crave out the next contender for the welterweight title.
Third for me is Brazilian Thiago Alves, he is arguably the most explosive fighter at welterweight. As previously mentioned he has already lost to GSP and is out to revenge his previous lose to Jon Fitch back in 2006 at UFN 5. Alves has not fought since July 11th 2009 since his lose to GSP.
Fourth is Josh Koscheck, Kos has openly suggested he is number one contender. Koscheck has actually lost two fights in recent fights, Paulo Thiago and Thiago Silva, and before then he lost to current champ GSP. Koscheck fights number one striker in UFC Notthingham finest Paul Daley.
Fifth is Paul Daley, in his short yet explosive time in UFC has sent shock waves through the welterweight division, he brutally knocked out former number one contender Martin Kampmann and then BJJ specialist Dustin Hazelett. Koscheck and Daley fight at UFC 113, can’t wait for that!
