Forrest Griffin and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira both had big wins at UFC 106 Saturday night, and they're both on my list of the Top 10 light heavyweights in MMA.

My question now is whether they should fight each other next. As strong as the UFC's light heavyweight division is, there's a bit of a logjam in it. The Lyoto Machida-Shogun Rua rematch for the title won't take place until May 1, Rampage Jackson is off making movies and Dan Henderson is in a contract dispute, and that means the only light heavyweight fight including top 10 fighters scheduled for the next five months is Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva.

My Top 10 list is below.

MMA Top 10 Light Heavyweights
1. Lyoto Machida
2. Anderson Silva
3. Mauricio Rua
4. Rashad Evans
5. Forrest Griffin
6. Quinton Jackson
7. Dan Henderson

10. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
