2009 UFC Middleweight Top 5 Rankings

  1. Anderson Silva   

It wasn’t the best calendar year for him but Silva remains number one with his most lackluster title defense against Thales Leites as new challenges await him in 2010.

2. Nate Marquardt     

Marquardt solidifies his number two spot by giving Maia the first loss of his career putting him on the shortlist of possible title challengers for the champion.

3. Demian Maia 

Maia added a fifth submission win in a row with his win over Sonnen but in what looked like a title eliminator he suffered his first loss to the man ranked above him.

4. Chael Sonnen  


Apart from a quick submission loss in his return to the UFC, Sonnen would rebound with wins over Okami and Dan Miller to secure a ranked spot. 

5. Yushin Okami  


Okami drops to number five after a disappointing loss to the man ranked above him.
