Carl is now number 1, officially as he beat the number 1.
Apparently Rung has retired, so that is why he has been removed. Which is fair enough, i suppose.
The ranking is a good system once it is established and settled down as it creates these exciting situations.
When I was running the WMTO years ago I had a ranking in place and it created some very competetive fights.
Jonno you beat Carl and Jordan Calder beat carl also.
Carl had beaten Mark brown twice before, but Mark was still ranked above Carl.
The last time I looked the rankings had changed the weight divisions slightly, so a weight would need to be set.
Carl fights at 59kg max.
I wont get into weight stuff and I know you made the weight easilly for Brian's tourny, so I know there would be no problems.
But I want to ask you a question Jonno, as Carl is number 1 now, if you fight again and beat Carl, would you want to be number 1?? I bet you would (don't blame you)and thats how we/Carl feel. Carl deserves to be number 1.
I have had a bit of trouble matching Carl, so we have worked on fighting lee for over 2 years and finally got the match.
Now this is why the rankings are good for the sport if done properly. Both yourself and Jordan have shown no interest in fighting Carl again, carl did ask for a rematch with Jordan.
BUT because you had won, there was no reason for you to want the fight again as you had moved on. Also from a fan's point of view, who would be interested in watching the fight again??
BUT things have changed now. Carl has taken a risk, fought a more experienced fighter and won. NOW you and probably some of the others will want to fight Carl, because you want what he has, the number one spot!
Good for you and Carl and also good for the fans, now they will be interested to see if Carl has improved, is he better than you as he is above you or was it a fluke or just Carls style works better against Lee than it did against you? who knows, but all good?
Also I am working on a way for Muay Thai Fans to get discounted tickets to Muay Thai shows at www.MuayThaiShows.com
