...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
Over the next several weeks, we here at the Torch will be bringing you our rankings for all of the weight classes. We will tackle a new division each week until all are covered, followed by updates after every major show.
During the week, each of the staff members will bring you a blog explaining why they chose the way they did in their top 10. This week, we've got welterweight division. Each staff member picked their top 10, and the overall rankings were figured out based on placement in the top 10 as well as how many ballots each fighter was on.
Are the rankings what you thought they'd be? Are we way off? Let us know at TorchRankings@gmail.com and we'll present our Torch Nation rankings as voted on by you, the Torch readers. So enjoy this, our first set of rankings; and look out for our staff's reasoning and explanations during the week. Next week: the Lightweight Division.
