UFC Rankings (Exiting 137)

I don't want Nick Diaz as a champion. 
He's a dick, an a-hole, and he would not represent the sport well.  Much like Lesner mouthing off about sponsors, Nick Diaz doesn't have a filter and isn't mature enough to be the face of the company.
But he's damn good.  He destroyed BJ Penn in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.  He deserves a title shot.  But I don't know if he would represent the UFC well.  He skips press conferences, smokes marijuana, and mouths off to everyone in sight.  At least the Enigma that is Anderson Silva, keeps to himself and lets his fighting talk for him.

The rest of UFC137 was forgetable.  the co-main event of Kongo vs Mitrione was a snoozer until Kongo took Mitrione down in the 3rd round.  Otherwise it was alot of circling around.
