European Top Ten

Fighter Rankings

By Groundandpound.de

November, 2007

The good folks over at www.groundandpound.de have updated their exclusive European Top Ten fighter

rankings. As stated on their website: "To be considered for this list, European fighters need to be considered

active and must have fought in Europe within the last 12 months, or have a fight scheduled in Europe in the

next 30 days. Non-European fighters will only make the list, when they actually live and fight in Europe

actively.." To view all the fighter information which includes their performance in their last five fights plus their

overall record (not to mention fighters you need to keep your eye on), visit: www.groundandpound.de. Special
