MMA Pound for Pound List for November

The top five pound for pound MMA fighters for the month of November are:

1. Anderson Silva

Silva has dominated the middleweight division in recent years to a phenomenal degree and destroying Forrest Griffin at light heavyweight definitely edges out Fedor for number one. Let's hope someone good steps up to challenge him and make it interesting at middleweight. I'm not really interested in seeing him fight at light heavyweight.

2. Fedor Emelianenko

Fedor is close to Silva after recently putting on an amazingly exciting fight against the solid Brett Rogers. He'll have a few more solid challengers in Strikeforce that should help him remain the most dominant heavyweight in the world.

3. Georges St. Pierre

St. Pierre has become the premier welterweight in the world after some solid recent victories. Although his dominance hasn't been as solid and indisputable as Silva or
Fedor he is still young and now showing that he will stay dominant for a while.

4. BJ Penn

Truly a pound for pound star. The prodigy has fought at several weight divisions throughout his career including light heavyweight despite being a natural lightweight. His dominance at lightweight is unquestionable and his record outside of lightweight is solid as well.

5. Lyoto Machida

Barely hanging on after what should have been a loss to Mauricio Rua. There are a lot of solid light heavyweights that could eventually take this spot.
