45,

As I always ask, who will rank him top 5 and who cares? I have yet to get a full explanation as to how any of these sites rank fighters.

There are no official rankings and what rankings there are are meaningless.

I agree, Aoki vs. Alvarez and Hansen vs. Alvarez should happen! Think Alvarez will have a bright future in DREAM now, lots of big fights lined up that the fans want to see!

Respect to all the fighters, expecially Alvarez and Hansen. They showed great sportsmanship!

PizzaChef, I think you are right, Hansen learned from their first fight.

This just messes up way too many things.

Hansen will be ranked Top 5 due to his win over Aoki. However, he hasn’t had a big win like that in over 3 years. So it should be interesting to see how long he stays that high.

BJ Penn is the #1 lightweight until proven otherwise.

Guess we need Alvarez-Hansen II and Alvarez-Aoki now. And maybe Hansen-Aoki III.

I finally picked one right out of the last few cards. I knew Alvarez would do away with Kawajiri. It wasn’t even a question in my mind. I am happy for Hansen.

Shibata did better than I thought. He actually looked ok standing but as soon as he was taken down that was it. Why continue to feed him top level fighters? Why not try to see how he does v lower level opponents? Nice comments from Bas Rutten about Pro-wrestling in Japan as well. Respect!!!

Hansen learned well from his first fight with Aoki. Although a rematch is on the cards due to nut kick. DREAM.5 >>> Affliction. This is one of the best cards I remember seeing this year.
