Tyson has had a tough last 3 fights, i think he got screwed against Nik Lentz. But he's now talking about moving down to the 45's, which earlier in his career he stated he could never make that weight again because he walks around at 180. As much as i like Tyson, i think his confidence is hurting and thats why he's contemplating the weight change.

I would say Griffin definitely is not top 15 anymore he has to be below Lentz, Gomi, Sherk, and Dunham. 3 losses in a row is tough and he has lost 4 of his last 6. He hasn't won a fight in over a year and 3 losses stacked on top of that is damaging. Maybe he got a little punch happy after his KO of Franca. He needs to get back to his roots and get back to what got him to where he is today. Over anything else he needs to win.

Worst slump of his career right now, that's for sure. Everyone says the Lentz fight was a robbery, but I didn't see it.

17 is probably about right actually. He isn't that good of a fighter, and he has lost three fights in a row. I don't usually go that deep with my rankings, but I am honestly not sure he would even be that high. Gomi, Sherk, Jim Miller, Guida, and many other fighters that may be just outside of the top ten are certainly ahead of him.

Griffin is starting to lose it, he's nothing exciting and he hasn't fought BIG fighters. I mean he's lost to Evan Dunham who lost to Sean Sherk but Griffin has lost to Sherk? He needs to peak the level and start taking it more serious than he is.

It should be a win but isn't. Unfortunately I'm not a judge and though I disagree with them I have to accept their ruling and so does Tyson. So when Ranking Tyson has to eat 3 straight losses. Luckily Dana can interject his opinion in some ways which is why Tyson hasn't been cut by the UFC yet.
