Above are the rankings for Heavyweight for the month of March. There was a little movement with the biggest Heavyweight upset this month being Mike Russow's win over Jon Madsen at UFN 24 in Seattle. Besides that you'll notice that Fedor has dropped to #9 while Big Nog is still sitting in the top 10 despite his lengthy absence from the sport.
After the jump you'll find my rankings...
1. Cain Velasquez
2. Fabricio Werdum
3. Junior Dos Santos
4. Brock Lesnar
5. Shane Carwin
6. Frank Mir
7. Antonio Rodgrigo Nogueira
8. Antonio Silva
9. Alistair Overeem
10. Brendan Schaub
11. Fedor Emelianenko
12. Roy Nelson
13. Sergei Kharitonov
14. Cheick Kongo
15. Ben Rothwell
16. Pedro Rizzo
17. Brett Rogers
18. Cole Konrad
19. Travis Browne
20. Matt Mitrione
21. Stefan Struve
22. Shane Del Rosario
23. Pat Barry
24. Mike Russow
25. Jon Madsen
I do not rank Josh Barnett for my own personal reasons of just not liking the guy. And I dropped Fedor out the top 10 because he has two losses in a row. Once he bounces back, his ranking will be changed back to being a top 10 Heavyweight.
