Are you wondering who are all the current UFC champions are?
First, let's dive in to the sport itself. UFC has become a massive global sports brand since its introduction in 1993. They are currently the largest pay-per-view event provider on the planet.
UFC is televised in over 165 countries, with more than 60 global broadcast partners, to more than 1.1 billion households worldwide. They also boast the highest concentration of millennials (ages 18-34) in its fan base (40%) compared to other top sports properties.
The explosive growth of the sport has transformed their champions in to worldwide stars, with exciting knockouts and submissions going viral on social media at almost every UFC event.
For new fans and those who may be unaware, here's a current list of UFC champions according to the official UFC rankings.
The standings are as follows:
Heavyweight Champion: Jon Jones (27-1-0 (1 NC))
Light-heavyweight Champion: Alex Pereira (9-2-0)
Middleweight Champion: Sean Strickland (28-5-0)
Welterweight Champion: Leon Edwards (21-3-0)
Lightweight Champion: Islam Makhachev (25-1-0)
Featherweight Champion: Alexander Volkanovski (26-3-0)
Following a scarily close fight with Dominick Reyes at UFC 247, Jones eventually vacated the Light Heavyweight title, expressing his desire for big money for a move up to Heavyweight that he had been teasing since 2012. For years, the move was somewhat in limbo, with Jones claiming he was bulking up the entire time.
Finally, Jones fought at Heavyweight at UFC 285 against Cyril Gane, who he took to the ground and tapped in astonishingly rapid fashion, cementing his status as the greatest fighter of all time for many. Jones was gearing up to face former champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 before he got injured, but chances are the two will meet before 2024 is over.
Light heavyweight champion: Alex Pereira (9-2-0)
Getty Images
Date won: November 11th 2023
Title defenses: 0
At UFC 295, Alex Pereira made history when he became a two-weight UFC champion in just 11 professional MMA fights. He did it in style, knocking out former champion Ji\u0159\u00ed Proch\u00e1zka in his second headlining title fight at Madison Square Garden in just a year.
Pereira is on top of the world right now, which is astonishing considering he's had just 7 fights in the UFC. On the microphone after his 205lb title win, he called out former 4 time foe Israel Adesanya, who just lost the Middleweight title to Sean Strickland. Time well tell if the two are destined to meet for a fifth time, but if Poatan wants some fresh opponents, there's a lot of fun to be had in the Light Heavyweight division.
Middleweight Champion: Sean Strickland (28-5-0)
Getty Images
Date won: September 10th 2023
Title defenses: 0
Coming into UFC 293, very few people were giving Sean Strickland a serious chance at winning his title fight versus Israel Adesanya. He\u2019d had some good wins over respectable names up to that point, but none that suggesting there was good reason to pick him over the decorated champion.
Of course, MMA is a sport that throws surprises our way a hell of a lot. Strickland ended up not only winning the fight, but making it look easy too. He dropped Adesanya at the end of the first round and gave up just one round to him on the scorecards, cruising his way to the middleweight championship. With Israel looking to take a break from MMA for a little bit, it looks like Strickland will have his first defense against Khamzat Chimaev in 2024.
Welterweight Champion: Leon Edwards (21-3-0)
Getty Images
Date won: August 20th 2022
Title defenses: 1
Kamaru Usman had the kind of dominant run as UFC Welterweight Champion that had people starting to mention GOAT status. He had multiple title defenses with most of them ending via knockout. Before UFC 278, it looked as though no one in the world could beat Usman\u2026 That was until he fought Leon Edwards for the second time.
Edwards was struggling throughout the fight and if the fight had gone 56 seconds longer, he would\u2019ve lost another decision. In the fifth round he faked a jab to force Usman\u2019s head to his right side and met it with a jaw-dropping kick, resulting in a vicious KO. The pair met for their trilogy fight in London in March where despite losing a point for repeated fouls, Leon proved he was the better man across 25 minutes. He's scheduled to defend his belt against Colby Covington in December.
Lightweight Champion: Islam Makhachev (23-1-0)
Chris Unger / Contributor Getty Images
Date won: October 22nd 2022
Title defenses: 2
To those that paid close attention, it felt inevitable that Islam Makhachev would be crowned a world champion one day when he was rising up the ranks. Trained by UFC Lightweight GOAT Khabib Nurmagomedov, Makhachev\u2019s wrestling is so exceptional that presents a real danger for any fighter around the same size.
He won the title against Charles Oliveria at UFC 280 in a dominant performance which made it look like a mismatch, with Makhachev getting the victory in the second round after an arm triangle. Since becoming champion, Islam has defended the belt twice, both times against 145lb king Alexander Volkanovski, knocking him out in quick fashion at UFC 294.
Featherweight Champion: Alexander Volkanovski (26-2)
Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC
Date won: December 14th 2019
Title defenses: 5
The rugby player turned mixed martial artist picked up UFC gold with a victory over Max Holloway at UFC 245. The two fought to another decision in the rematch, albeit a closer one which many felt warranted a trilogy fight. Before that, Volk fought The Korean Zombie at UFC 273 and won via TKO in a fight where he looked superhuman. In his most recent Featherweight battle, Volkanovski took on Holloway for a 3rd time. While the first two fights were remarkably competitive, the third was not. Volkanovski made his mark, and closed the final chapter to the rivalry.
Coming off of a devastating loss to Islam Makhachev at UFC 294, Volk will look to defend his featherweight strap aginst Ilia Topuria sometime in 2024.
Bantamweight Champion: Sean O\u2019Malley (17-1-0)
Getty Images
Date won: August 20th 2023
Title defenses: 0
Sean O\u2019Malley has been a star in the sport from his appearance on Dana White\u2019s Contender Series which was famously commentated by Urijah Faber and Snoop Dogg, but it was only recently at UFC 292 where he got the chance to fight for the title.
When he and Aljo met in the cage, fans were pretty split on what way the bout would go, with a slight majority picking the champ, favoring his experience over the greener contender. In the second round though, O\u2019Malley stepped Aljo back onto a wonderfully quick overhand, putting him down and ending the fight just seconds later to become the 135lb champion. He went on to immediately call out former foe Chito Vera on the microphone and the two will fight again in 2024.
Flyweight Champion: Alexandre Pantoja (26-5)
Getty Images
Date won: July 8th 2023
Title defenses: 0
Alexandre Pantoja had two wins over Brandon Moreno before they met at UFC 290 this past International Fight Week. For the fans and oddsmakers though, Moreno\u2019s growth and experience since that pair of bouts was enough for him to be the favorite coming into their trilogy fight.
In a gruelling fight of the year contender, Pantoja proved once again that he was the better fighter by coming out on the good side of a split decision to win the 125lb championship for the first time.
Before she retired, The Lioness was considered by many to be one of the best fighters in the world. When she was on a win streak that included first round finishes over Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey and a pair of decision wins over Valentina Shevchenko at Bantamweight, she got an opportunity to face 145lb champion Cris Cyborg in Inglewood, California. She silenced any critics, putting away Cyborg in under a minute in one of the best wins in the sport. Since then, the lack of real contenders at Featherweight has meant that she has picked up just two defenses of this belt, one against Felicia Spencer and the other against Megan Anderson.
After winning the Bantamweight strap at UFC 200, Amanda Nunes had an unprecedented title run at 135lbs. In the coming years, she knocked out Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey, the only other women to hold the title, in the first round. She was cruising through title defenses and even went up to Featherweight to win her aforementioned title there. When she met Julianna Pe\u00f1a at UFC 269, many expected a dismal fate for the Venezuelan, but it ended up being one of the bigger upsets in the history of the sport.
Nunes was far from done, though. The two would meet again in July of 2022 and Nunes would have her revenge. The Lioness put on a clinic in the decision victory, showing off her striking from both stances and used her superior strength to secure important takedowns late in the fight. She is now retired and the belt is vacant.
Coming into UFC 285, very few people gave Alexa Grasso a chance against Valentina Shevchenko, who was basically the entire division\u2019s history at that point, racking up a title win and seven defenses in three years, losing very few rounds in the process. Still though, MMA is one of the most unpredictable sports in the world and all it took was for the Bullet to attempt a spinning attack and Grasso jumped on the back, putting in a choke and tapping Valentina in the fourth round.
The two rematched in September, with the fight ending up a draw, technically meaning that Grasso didn't defend the belt, but retained it.
Finishing up our list of current UFC Champions is Zhang Weili, who originally won the Strawweight title in the summer of 2019, when she took the belt from J\u00e9ssica Andrade in 42 seconds in her home country. She defended the title once in one of the greatest fights in UFC history with Joanna J\u0119drzejczyk, before falling to Rose Namajunas\u2019s beautiful headkick at UFC 261.
UFC 281 would prove to be Weili's shining comeback moment, as she defeated Carla Esparza for the title. She dominated the fight and took the victory after a rear-naked choke submission in the second round. In his first defense on her second run, Weili dominated Amanda Lemos at UFC 292.

At the time of the UFC's inception in 1993, mixed martial arts was not sanctioned in the United States, and did not include weight classes. Instead of the traditional championship model, the UFC held tournaments with the winner receiving a permanent appellation.[2] In response to criticism from Senator John McCain that saw the loss of its television deal and the banning of the sport in thirty-six states, the UFC increased its cooperation with state athletic commissions and introduced weight classes in 1997, starting with UFC 12, and began introducing weight-specific titles.[3]\n
The original codification for weight classes introduced only two divisions: heavyweight, which grouped together all competitors above 200 pounds (91 kg), and lightweight, which encompassed all competitors 199 pounds (90 kg) and under. At UFC 14 the lightweight division would be renamed to middleweight, though it would still encompass all fighters 199 pounds (90 kg) and under.[4] The lightweight moniker would later return at UFC 16 with a new division consisting of those competitors 170 pounds (77 kg) and under.[5] Two years later a fourth weight class, the bantamweight division, arrived at UFC 26 and included all fighters 155 pounds (70 kg) and under.[4]\n
It would be nearly ten years before the UFC would expand their divisional offerings to include any of the lower weight classes. The first additions came in late 2010 when the UFC merged with their sister organization World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC). Due to the WEC's focus on lighter weight fighters, this merger necessitated the addition of both the featherweight and bantamweight divisions to the UFC, starting with The Ultimate Fighter season 12 finale.[8] In early 2012 the UFC decided they would delve even further into the lower weight classes when they announced the introduction of the flyweight division to their ranks, beginning with UFC on FX: Alves vs. Kampmann.[9]\n
In November 2012, as a result of the forthcoming dissolution of their sister organization Strikeforce, the UFC announced they would be adding female fighters to their roster for the first time in the promotion's history. Initially, only the women's bantamweight division was brought over, with the division's premiere bout taking place at UFC 157.[10] A little over a year later, the UFC announced they would be expanding their weight classes for female fighters with the addition of a women's strawweight division,[11] the first bout took place at UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Miller.[12]\nIn late 2016, a featherweight division was introduced for the women with the first bout to be for the inaugural championship at UFC 208 on February 11, 2017. In that same year the UFC announced the Women's Flyweight division would officially be added, with the winner of the 26th season of The Ultimate Fighter to be named the inaugural champion.\n
186 to 205 lb (84 to 93 kg) \nThe Light Heavyweight Championship was known as the Middleweight Championship prior to UFC 31 (May 4, 2001).\nThe Pride World Middleweight Championship (205.03 lb) was unified with the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship on September 8, 2007, when Quinton Jackson defeated Dan Henderson at UFC 75.[4]\n
Jones was stripped of the interim title on November 9, 2016, due to his one-year suspension related to a failed pre-fight drug test.[20]\n
\n
\n
Jones won the undisputed title at UFC 214 on July 29, 2017, but was stripped on September 13, 2017, after his win was overturned to a no-contest due to a failed pre-fight drug test. Cormier was then retroactively reinstated as champion.[21]\n
\n
\n
Cormier vacated the title on December 28, 2018, 174 days after winning the heavyweight title.[22]\n
Pulver was stripped of the title on March 23, 2002, when he left the UFC due to a contract dispute.[1]\n
\n
\n
B.J. Penn and Caol Uno fought to a draw on February 28, 2003, at UFC 41 in Atlantic City, NJ, US in the finale of a four-man tournament for the vacant title.[1]\n
136 to 145 lb (61 to 66 kg) \nPrior to the UFC-WEC merger, Jos\u00e9 Aldo was the WEC Featherweight Champion. Aldo was awarded the inaugural UFC Featherweight Championship on November 20, 2010, at UFC 123 in a ceremony prior to the event.[41]\n
126 to 135 lb (57 to 61 kg) \nPrior to UFC-WEC merger, Dominick Cruz was the WEC Bantamweight Champion. At WEC 53, Cruz defeated Scott Jorgensen to retain the WEC Bantamweight Championship and was awarded the inaugural UFC Bantamweight Championship.[44]\n
116 to 125 lb (53 to 57 kg) \nDemetrious Johnson defeated Joseph Benavidez on September 22, 2012, at UFC 152 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the finale of a four-man tournament for the inaugural title.[48]\n
Cejudo announced on December 20, 2019, that he would vacate his title to focus on defending the bantamweight title. It was officially vacated on February 29, 2020.[49]\n
Monta\u00f1o was stripped of the title on September 7, 2018, after she was forced to withdraw from her title defense at UFC 228 due to weight cut issues.[54]\n
The openweight title used before the introduction of weight classes in 1997. It was designed to create a reigning UFC champion for the UFC tournament winners to challenge.[55]\n

Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie fought to a draw on April 7, 1995, at UFC 5 in Charlotte, NC, US for the inaugural Superfight title.[1]\n
Mark Coleman defeated Severn on February 7, 1997, at UFC 12 in Dothan, AL, US. This bout unified the UFC Superfight Championship with the UFC 11 Tournament Championship to determine the inaugural UFC Heavyweight Champion.[4]\n
The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) is a reality television series and mixed martial arts competition produced by the UFC. The show features professional fighters living together and competing against one another in a tournament for a contract with the UFC.\n
The table is divided by number of division championships, tournament championships, total championships, and individual champions. Fighters with multiple championship wins have each championship counted for the total. There is a distinction between the total number of championships won by a nationality and the number of individual fighters that won them. Division championships are the primary separation criteria due to being non-closed competition. It includes title holders and interim title holders. Interim champions who become undisputed champions are listed only once. Tournament championships are secondary due to many tournaments being country-specific and thus not generally a national achievement to win. Runners-up and TUF runners-up are not included.\n
Fighters with four or more championship and/or interim championship title wins.[56] Fighters with the same number of title wins are arranged in order of most title fights. Tournament championships and TUF winners are not included.\n
The following includes all UFC champions who were able to consecutively defend their title three times or more. Fighters with the same number of title defenses are listed chronologically.[57]\n
^Woodley successfully defended the UFC Welterweight Championship three times and retained the title once following a draw against Stephen Thompson at UFC 205.\n
\n
^Edgar successfully defended the UFC Lightweight Championship twice and retained the title once following a draw against Gray Maynard at UFC 125.\n
\n
^Bar\u00e3o successfully defended the interim UFC Bantamweight Championship twice before being promoted to undisputed champion and defending his title once more.\n
\n
^Cormier lost to Jon Jones attempting his 3rd consecutive defense. However, Jones' win was later overturned to a no-contest due to a failed pre-fight drug test. Cormier was later reinstated as champion and made his 3rd successful title defense at UFC 220.\n
Fighters who have won championships in multiple weight classes.[58] Tournament championships and TUF winners are not included.\n
Randy Couture is notably the first champion to hold belts in two different divisions, and one of the few to reclaim a title after being defeated. Conor McGregor was the first fighter to hold multiple titles simultaneously.\n
There have been multiple instances in UFC history where a fighter misses the required weight limit for a championship fight. The following fights were originally scheduled and advertised as title fights, with the contenders earning a title shot, but due to a fighter missing weight these fights took place, only one fighter was eligible for the title, or the fight was changed to a non-title fight.\n

UFC Rankings FAQ
\n
\n\n\n
\n\t
* These rankings are not official, nor do they reflect any affiliation with, sponsorship, or endorsement by the UFC. The rankings generated by the UFC can be found here.
\n
\n
\n\t
UFC Rankings are comprised of all fighters currently signed to the UFC. RankingMMA has been publishing UFC rankings since 2006. \n \nSo, how do we compile our rankings? What separates us from other web sites that formulate rankings? \n \nWe are the only source that uses computerized analytics rankings system & actual fight footage to determine rankings similar. The reason we do this is to avoid ranking bias. By using analytics, fighters are scored no matter their popularity or hype. From there, tiers are created and fighters are ranked from within those tiers. \n \nHere is the rankings criteria that encompasses a fighter ranking: \n- Most recent performance \n- Performance against top competition \n- Estimated ability against future competition \n- Strength of competition \n- Activity in the last 3 years \n- Last 5 fights \n \nThere are many fighters sporting undefeated records from developing fight scenes, especially abroad. Something we take into consideration is the strength of competition they have faced. If a fighter has compiled a bunch of wins against competition that is lackluster they will likely have a difficult time moving up in the rankings until they face stiffer competition in order for us to accurately predict how they would perform against exceedingly tougher competition. \n \nIf a fighter has fought elite competition and fallen short, we factor in how they performed. If a fighter fairs well against a higher-ranked adversary, they could still move up in the rankings. \n \nActual fight footage is reviewed, regardless of promotion in order to formulate our rankings. \n \n = Fighter moves up in the rankings after recent fight \n = Fighter moves down in the rankings after recent fight \n \nReasons a fighter is ineligible for UFC Rankings \n = Inactivity over 15 months \n = Changing weight classes. A fighter must debut in their new weight class in order to officially be ranked there. Upon their debut, they will be removed from their former weight class. If the fighter temporarily competed outside of their division, they will be ranked in their primary division unless the fighter states different. \n = Suspension. Should a fighter be suspended for performance enhancing substances or fighter conduct, they will be removed from the rankings. \n = Info Needed. A fighter has signed or re-signed with the UFC, but have yet to officially fight in the UFC.
Absolutely remarkable that Jared Vanderaa continues to be allowed on this roster after going 1-5 with his only win coming via split against Roque Martinez.
Ok couple grievances: \nJosh Parisian with 2 UFC wins behind Zac Pauga and Luka Brzeski with 0 each?
\n
Also feels like Alexandr Romanov is underrated, as he’s 16-0 with wins over Juan Espino and Marcos Rogerio de Lima. Hard to imagine him being ranked behind Alexey Oleinik who has lost 3 of 4
I can’t for two match-ups in the heavyweight division: Stipe vs Jones, and Tom Aspinall vs Curtis Blaydes. The aftermath of those two fights will give fans a clearer lay of the land for who gets to be the next heavyweight champion.
I hate interim titles, but you are correct that we need to keep the division going while building new stars at the same time. Both fights you mentioned, especially Jones/Miocic would be a huge fight.
Thanks for your opinion on Hardy vs. Gane in the rankings. Gane is higher ranked due to being undefeated while also facing quality competition, in and outside the UFC. Gane had 2 quality wins prior to signing with the UFC, beating 7-0 undefeated Canadian Adam Dyczka and 8-1 Brazilian Roggers Souza. Hardy has improved with each fight and is nearing Top 15 contention. Where do you see Gane ranked currently?
Hi John, as soon as Jones debuts in that weight class he will be ranked. For now, he will continue to be ranked at LHW since has fought there in the last 15 months.
Hi Tim, although his UFC contract expired, Hunt has never announced his retirement from MMA. I searched the last few months for any recent interviews from Hunt, and could not find anything claiming he is officially retired. Until his inactivity hits 15 months or a retirement announcement occurs, he will remain ranked. Thank you for your comment!
You are correct, the list is only made up of active fighters. I am soon adding fighters not on the UFC’s active roster, so I will be able to create a historical and active list for a variety of statistics.
That’s not a serious question, is it? \nHe hasn’t fought since 2011 and isn’t currently on the UFC roster. The only hint that he isn’t done fighting was in a Facebook exchange with a fan who praised Carwin’s MMA career, and in reply Carwin asked “Are you saying it is over?”. \nHardly confirmation of a comeback, and certainly not enough to be ranked here.
even though big country clearly lost to miocic, it was through decision. nelsons style is to knock somebody in the jaw out cold, and stipe was aware of this and didnt come close and worked him with his speed and range strategically very clever and all but stipe still lost to struve while nelson destroyed the skyscraper. even though they say they are as good as their last fight I still think roy nelson is the more dangerous fighter, no dissrespect to stipe miocic because he bullied nelson just like dos santos did but it wasnt as convincing to me. just my opinion, basicly miocic should be placed above nelson he defeated him fair and square.
Nelson is above Miocic because the ufc.com/rankings says he is. If it were my choice, Miocic would easily be ahead of Nelson based off their last fight.
\n
Just to reiterate, I use the UFC.com/rankings for my Top 10 and then we rank all the rest.
I think the UFC kinda messed up with putting Roy Nelson above Frank Mir … Mir outclassed him when they fought and Roy has yet to beat anyone worthy of sending him above Mir … Mir may have a 2 fight losing streak but they’re to JDS and DC, and Roy’s 3 fight win streak is vs. two guys ranked under 15 (in a 22 ranked guys division) and a cut fighter. How does he rank above Mir?
I agree with you. Nelson has never beaten a Top 10 guy, but thanks to a thin HW division and some recent losses to the guys ahead of him, it seems as if he may be overrated. A lot of people claim that Nelson was sick coming into the Mir fight, but that shouldn’t be an excuse for why Nelson should be ranked above Mir. Nelson is certainly a top talent, but I think is his ceiling is only so high when watching him face guys like JDS, Werdum, and Mir.
Unfortunately Junior dos Santos gave his victory for Cain Velasquez for $ 400,000. He did contacts with Dana White before the fight. All the brazilians knows about that, except UFC and Dana White. \nBut in the future he will get back his belt because obviously JDS is much better than VELASQUEZ.
Wtf r u talking about jds got a lucky punch on the first fight, and cain finished him in the next two confrontations, not decisions he literally whipped his ass, you obviously don’t know anything about mma.
love your site man REALLY DO!! and look no one is ever going to agree 100% with each other…the only thing i would say is that you have…. schaub at 13, and over stipe!! which i cant wrap my head around really cant! , and pat barry but maybe thats just cuz im a massive pat HD barry fan and think he should be up near top ten and def over b,schaub…. but stipe would honestly destroy schaub in my eyes….but rem what i said i love your site LOVE IT!! and you cant please everyone and i know that my friend \ud83d\ude42
Thanks for the props. I appreciate you coming to my site and commenting! I am always hoping for feedback of any kind.
\n
Schaub over Miocic and Barry is your biggest fault with the UFC HW rankings, and you know what I agree with you in a lot of ways. I think Schaub would probably lose to both guys. The reason Schaub is ranked above them are his wins over Cro Cop and Gonzaga. Miocic has never beaten anyone ranked higher than those guys. Barry’s KO win over Del Rosario was huge, but he’s just 2-3 in his last 5 fights. Schaub’s losses are to Nogueira (Top 10) and Rothwell, while Barry’s losses are to guys ranked lower (Lavar Johnson, Kongo). Maybe Joe Silva will book Barry against someone like Rothwell, Hunt, Schaub to boost him up the ranks.
\ud83d\ude42 haha you know what man,YOU REALLY REALLY know your shit,i thought i was a massive mma fan,pardon the french,but fuck me..you really really do your home work and after reading your reply to me,the sec i read it i was like you know what your rite..and what an idea(i should write a letter to joe silva to have you working with him) cuz barry vs hunt or schaub is a deadly idea…love the site man,and iv looked over all the ranking sites this one is by FAR the best by far..but my only other peeve is with big nog at 5 i dont think he is that good any more,a win over herman is noting great and put him in with hunt or t browine i cant see him winning…but thanks for the feed back and hats off to you and all your hard work you dont get thank enough FACT!
Thanks man, I make my fair share of mistakes too though. Just like this last weekend, I didn’t think Saffiedine had much of a chance against Marquardt, and what do you know it was complete domination for Saffiedine. It’s what makes this sport fun to watch.
I don’t like Bigfoot at No.4,put him one spot above Browne,Browne was obviously hampered by that leg injury. after big losses to Cormier and Velasquez ,guys like Struve,Congo,Rothwell would all light him up and Hunt would make a right mess of him too.
I don’t like him at #4 either, but his wins over Fedor, Browne, Kyle, and Arlovski are hard to ignore. Silva’s losses to Cain and Cormier were extremely one-sided, yet those two fighters are arguably the top 3 fighters in the entire division. I don’t think Struve, Kongo, Rothwell, or Hunt would do much better against them. Kongo gave Cain a decent fight, but that was years.
\n
Kongo, Rothwell, and Hunt are in need of some quality wins. Hunt is closest right now, but I think most fans are aware of his limitations on the ground. If Rothwell is in shape as he was for the Schaub fight, he is dangerous. Kongo has looked flat ever since losing to Mir. Yes, he did knock out Barry, but that was quite the hail mary victory.
\n
The toughest thing was to put Silva above Mir. It’s Silva’s win over Fedor that is making the difference. There are not many fighters that can claim that right.
I love fedor,one of the best ever,but he fought on too long,much like B.J.Penn he got by on natural ability without being super fit and age catches up with them quicker than say Dan Henderson or Randy Couture who extended their careers by being extremely fit. My rankings can be seen at http:****
I think you have Hunt,Rothwell and Kongo in the right order but Schaub, Bigfoot,Browne and Struve should be below them,Browne only drew with Kongo and Schaub’ KO of Crocop put him in the top ten at the time so he could even slot in between Rothwell and Kongo.
Mark Hunt can throw down with any striker in the heavyweight division, but his ground game is still severely lacking. Look at what Sean McCorkle did to him. He has made some slight gains in his overall takedown defense and submission ability, but I still feel there is absolutely no way he wins against Bigfoot or Struve if the fight went to the floor. \nKongo is falling off fast. You are correct that it was not too long ago that Kongo earned a draw of Browne, but recent back injuries have robbed him of his overall mobility and he just looks gunshy as of late.
\n
I still think you’re discounting Bigfoot’s ability as a high-level heavyweight. His top control is some of the best in the business.
\n
Over the last 3 years: \nBigfoot’s wins = Fedor, Browne, Arlovski, Kyle \nHunt’s wins = Kongo, Rothwell
\n
I realize Bigfoot’s one-sided losses likely merit most of his downgrading in your eyes, but that is exactly the point of why I am yet to be sold on Hunt.
\n
Hopefully, Hunt vs. Bigfoot is booked in the near future…
I’m not saying Bigfoot will never be top 5,i just think from a pure ranking perspective he should go in 1 place ahead of the guy he beat,he can move up the rankings in time as he gets his wins like everybody else right.Same reason Werdum should be only one place ahead of Nelson.
I hear you. I also think Bigfoot is overrated at #4, but it’s mainly because Overeem, Cormier, and Barnett are not currently fighting in the UFC. Bring those guys in and Silva drops down to 7th. Imagine if Fedor was still active though, Silva would clearly still be ranked ahead of him. That is a factoring reason for why Bigfoot is ranked ahead of guys like Mir, Nelson, Struve, Hunt, etc.
I don’t think he could make 205, but he sure would make a welcome addition to the light heavyweight division that is hungry for new title challengers.
\n
Who knows though, Miocic used to wrestle at 197 lbs. in college. He seems to have packed on some muscle over the years, but if Daniel cormier is willing to make the cut to 205, I’m not sure why Stipe wouldn’t consider it should he run into some trouble at heavyweight.
werdum above big country but still below big nog,imo. and do you really have to remove fighters who are suspended we all know overeem is No.3 and he embarassed werdum not long ago,not even close.
Carwin dominated Frank Mir in their head-to-head matchup. Mir has put together a solid win streak since the loss, but he will still need to prove himself against a Top 5 fighter to move ahead of Carwin.

\n\t\tThis is the site I use for ranking checks. UFC’s is corrupt, Tapology’s is shit.
\nMinor update: Hamdy Abdelwahab, as the other guy said, has been suspended and Blaydes is fighting Pavlovich.
\n\t\tHappy ur back! This is my favorite ranking website \ud83d\ude00
\n\t\tHamdy Abdelwahab has been suspended for 2 years. Pull from rankings
\n\t\tget your shit together and start updating or give this website to someone else to manage.

\n\n\r\nSame w Ngannou
\n\t\tAlexei Oleinik was released 7 days ago
\n\t\tJared Vanderaa 1-5 in the UFC ranked ahead of Josh Parisian who is 2-1? How does that work?
\n\t\tWalt Harris and Ilir Latifi both officially at 15 months of inactivity
\n\t\tAbsolutely remarkable that Jared Vanderaa continues to be allowed on this roster after going 1-5 with his only win coming via split against Roque Martinez.
\n\t\tThese rankings aren\u2019t correct and fighters from the ufc roster are missing

\n\n\r\nWho is missing?
\n\t\tOk couple grievances:
\n\nJosh Parisian with 2 UFC wins behind Zac Pauga and Luka Brzeski with 0 each?
Also feels like Alexandr Romanov is underrated, as he’s 16-0 with wins over Juan Espino and Marcos Rogerio de Lima. Hard to imagine him being ranked behind Alexey Oleinik who has lost 3 of 4
\n\t\tNo #29 ranked fighter listed
\n\t\tIncredible how Juan Espino, at almost 42 years old and coming off a loss decides to take an entire year plus off. That is something else…
\n\t\tI can’t for two match-ups in the heavyweight division: Stipe vs Jones, and Tom Aspinall vs Curtis Blaydes. The aftermath of those two fights will give fans a clearer lay of the land for who gets to be the next heavyweight champion.

\n\n\r\nI hate interim titles, but you are correct that we need to keep the division going while building new stars at the same time. Both fights you mentioned, especially Jones/Miocic would be a huge fight.
\n\t\tIn September 2020, Todd Duffee and the UFC parted ways due to inactivity due to injury.
\nAlso, have to imagine Travis Browne is no longer an active fighter on the UFC roster and thus should be removed as well.

\n\n\r\nThanks for your opinion on Hardy vs. Gane in the rankings. Gane is higher ranked due to being undefeated while also facing quality competition, in and outside the UFC. Gane had 2 quality wins prior to signing with the UFC, beating 7-0 undefeated Canadian Adam Dyczka and 8-1 Brazilian Roggers Souza. Hardy has improved with each fight and is nearing Top 15 contention. Where do you see Gane ranked currently?

\n\n\r\nHi John, as soon as Jones debuts in that weight class he will be ranked. For now, he will continue to be ranked at LHW since has fought there in the last 15 months.

\n\n\r\nHi Tim, although his UFC contract expired, Hunt has never announced his retirement from MMA. I searched the last few months for any recent interviews from Hunt, and could not find anything claiming he is officially retired. Until his inactivity hits 15 months or a retirement announcement occurs, he will remain ranked. Thank you for your comment!
\n\t\tFrancis Ngannou is NOT FRENCH. He is CAMEROONINAN.
\n\t\tFrancis and Lewis should be switched, Andrei beat up Browne, and both lost against top tier opponents

\n\n\r\nYou are correct, the list is only made up of active fighters. I am soon adding fighters not on the UFC’s active roster, so I will be able to create a historical and active list for a variety of statistics.
\n\t\tWhat up from the future
\n\t\t\nBrock still top 10 lol

\n\n\r\nThat’s not a serious question, is it?
\n\t\t\nHe hasn’t fought since 2011 and isn’t currently on the UFC roster. The only hint that he isn’t done fighting was in a Facebook exchange with a fan who praised Carwin’s MMA career, and in reply Carwin asked “Are you saying it is over?”.
\nHardly confirmation of a comeback, and certainly not enough to be ranked here.
The UFC signed Walt Harris to replace Daniel Omielaczuk and will fight Soa Palelei at UFC Fight Night 55 11-7-14

\n\n\r\nSad day for the mixed martial arts world. Shane was one of the sport’s best ambassadors.
\n\t\teven though big country clearly lost to miocic, it was through decision. nelsons style is to knock somebody in the jaw out cold, and stipe was aware of this and didnt come close and worked him with his speed and range strategically very clever and all but stipe still lost to struve while nelson destroyed the skyscraper. even though they say they are as good as their last fight I still think roy nelson is the more dangerous fighter, no dissrespect to stipe miocic because he bullied nelson just like dos santos did but it wasnt as convincing to me. just my opinion, basicly miocic should be placed above nelson he defeated him fair and square.

\n\n\r\nNelson is above Miocic because the ufc.com/rankings says he is. If it were my choice, Miocic would easily be ahead of Nelson based off their last fight.
\nJust to reiterate, I use the UFC.com/rankings for my Top 10 and then we rank all the rest.
\n\t\tI think the UFC kinda messed up with putting Roy Nelson above Frank Mir … Mir outclassed him when they fought and Roy has yet to beat anyone worthy of sending him above Mir … Mir may have a 2 fight losing streak but they’re to JDS and DC, and Roy’s 3 fight win streak is vs. two guys ranked under 15 (in a 22 ranked guys division) and a cut fighter. How does he rank above Mir?

\n\n\r\nI agree with you. Nelson has never beaten a Top 10 guy, but thanks to a thin HW division and some recent losses to the guys ahead of him, it seems as if he may be overrated. A lot of people claim that Nelson was sick coming into the Mir fight, but that shouldn’t be an excuse for why Nelson should be ranked above Mir. Nelson is certainly a top talent, but I think is his ceiling is only so high when watching him face guys like JDS, Werdum, and Mir.
\n\t\tUnfortunately Junior dos Santos gave his victory for Cain Velasquez for $ 400,000. He did contacts with Dana White before the fight. All the brazilians knows about that, except UFC and Dana White.
\n\t\t\nBut in the future he will get back his belt because obviously JDS is much better than VELASQUEZ.

\n\n\r\nThanks for the props. I appreciate you coming to my site and commenting! I am always hoping for feedback of any kind.
\nSchaub over Miocic and Barry is your biggest fault with the UFC HW rankings, and you know what I agree with you in a lot of ways. I think Schaub would probably lose to both guys. The reason Schaub is ranked above them are his wins over Cro Cop and Gonzaga. Miocic has never beaten anyone ranked higher than those guys. Barry’s KO win over Del Rosario was huge, but he’s just 2-3 in his last 5 fights. Schaub’s losses are to Nogueira (Top 10) and Rothwell, while Barry’s losses are to guys ranked lower (Lavar Johnson, Kongo). Maybe Joe Silva will book Barry against someone like Rothwell, Hunt, Schaub to boost him up the ranks.

\n\nThanks man, I make my fair share of mistakes too though. Just like this last weekend, I didn’t think Saffiedine had much of a chance against Marquardt, and what do you know it was complete domination for Saffiedine. It’s what makes this sport fun to watch.
\n\t\tI don’t like Bigfoot at No.4,put him one spot above Browne,Browne was obviously hampered by that leg injury. after big losses to Cormier and Velasquez ,guys like Struve,Congo,Rothwell would all light him up and Hunt would make a right mess of him too.

\n\n\r\nI don’t like him at #4 either, but his wins over Fedor, Browne, Kyle, and Arlovski are hard to ignore. Silva’s losses to Cain and Cormier were extremely one-sided, yet those two fighters are arguably the top 3 fighters in the entire division. I don’t think Struve, Kongo, Rothwell, or Hunt would do much better against them. Kongo gave Cain a decent fight, but that was years.
\nKongo, Rothwell, and Hunt are in need of some quality wins. Hunt is closest right now, but I think most fans are aware of his limitations on the ground. If Rothwell is in shape as he was for the Schaub fight, he is dangerous. Kongo has looked flat ever since losing to Mir. Yes, he did knock out Barry, but that was quite the hail mary victory.
\nThe toughest thing was to put Silva above Mir. It’s Silva’s win over Fedor that is making the difference. There are not many fighters that can claim that right.
\nWhat’s your HW Top 10 look like?

\n\nI love fedor,one of the best ever,but he fought on too long,much like B.J.Penn he got by on natural ability without being super fit and age catches up with them quicker than say Dan Henderson or Randy Couture who extended their careers by being extremely fit. My rankings can be seen at http:****
\n\t\tI think you have Hunt,Rothwell and Kongo in the right order but Schaub, Bigfoot,Browne and Struve should be below them,Browne only drew with Kongo and Schaub’ KO of Crocop put him in the top ten at the time so he could even slot in between Rothwell and Kongo.

\n\n\r\nMark Hunt can throw down with any striker in the heavyweight division, but his ground game is still severely lacking. Look at what Sean McCorkle did to him. He has made some slight gains in his overall takedown defense and submission ability, but I still feel there is absolutely no way he wins against Bigfoot or Struve if the fight went to the floor.
\n\nKongo is falling off fast. You are correct that it was not too long ago that Kongo earned a draw of Browne, but recent back injuries have robbed him of his overall mobility and he just looks gunshy as of late.
I still think you’re discounting Bigfoot’s ability as a high-level heavyweight. His top control is some of the best in the business.
\nOver the last 3 years:
\n\nBigfoot’s wins = Fedor, Browne, Arlovski, Kyle
\nHunt’s wins = Kongo, Rothwell
I realize Bigfoot’s one-sided losses likely merit most of his downgrading in your eyes, but that is exactly the point of why I am yet to be sold on Hunt.
\nHopefully, Hunt vs. Bigfoot is booked in the near future…
\n\t\tI’m not saying Bigfoot will never be top 5,i just think from a pure ranking perspective he should go in 1 place ahead of the guy he beat,he can move up the rankings in time as he gets his wins like everybody else right.Same reason Werdum should be only one place ahead of Nelson.

\n\nI hear you. I also think Bigfoot is overrated at #4, but it’s mainly because Overeem, Cormier, and Barnett are not currently fighting in the UFC. Bring those guys in and Silva drops down to 7th. Imagine if Fedor was still active though, Silva would clearly still be ranked ahead of him. That is a factoring reason for why Bigfoot is ranked ahead of guys like Mir, Nelson, Struve, Hunt, etc.
\n\t\tIf Stipe Miocic’ run up the heavyweight rankings ends this weekend,could he make LHW?

\n\n\r\nI don’t think he could make 205, but he sure would make a welcome addition to the light heavyweight division that is hungry for new title challengers.
\nWho knows though, Miocic used to wrestle at 197 lbs. in college. He seems to have packed on some muscle over the years, but if Daniel cormier is willing to make the cut to 205, I’m not sure why Stipe wouldn’t consider it should he run into some trouble at heavyweight.
\n\t\twerdum above big country but still below big nog,imo. and do you really have to remove fighters who are suspended we all know overeem is No.3 and he embarassed werdum not long ago,not even close.
\n\t\tHe was released following his loss to Mike Russow.
\n\t\tCarwin dominated Frank Mir in their head-to-head matchup. Mir has put together a solid win streak since the loss, but he will still need to prove himself against a Top 5 fighter to move ahead of Carwin.
\n\t\tFriends, Junior dos Santos will be in first place for long, long, long, long, long, TIME !
\n\t\tPerfect ranking just where it is today Daniel cormier should be top ten though
