Pound 4 Pound rankings
Silva is undefeated over seven years with 17 overall fights, 16 UFC appearances and 11 title fights. Good luck with that, Chris Weidman.
Change: -- | Record: 33 - 6 - 0
Heavy underdog Chael Sonnen is up next, but if victorious, Jones' future possibilities include Alexander Gustafsson, Lyoto Machida or even cross-division super fights.
Change: -- | Record: 19 - 1 - 0
GSP recently landed the role of villain Batroc The Leaper in the next "Captain America" movie. We still think Johny Hendricks is the tougher opponent.
Change: -- | Record: 25 - 2 - 0
Aldo eventually wants to move from featherweight to lightweight, but the champ's current division has never been deeper.
Change: -- | Record: 24 - 1 - 0
Upcoming Fight: vs. Rustam "Tiger" Khabilov | Jun 07, 2014 - UFC Fight Night 42: Henderson vs. Khabilov
The power of Henderson's mysterious toothpick will be put to the test by incoming Strikeforce champ Gilbert Melendez, a man long considered one of the best lightweights in the world.
Change: -- | Record: 20 - 3 - 0
Cruz has been on the sidelines for 19 months due to a knee injury. Unfortunately for fight fans, their constant complaints about the layoff aren't making him heal any quicker.
Change: -- | Record: 19 - 1 - 0
The champ is on the mend following shoulder surgery. Here's hoping "Mighty Mouse" is ready for August's FOX event in his backyard of Seattle.
Change: -- | Record: 19 - 2 - 1
Up next for Velasquez is a rematch with Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva, whom he's defeated once before. It's not the sexiest rematch, but it's justified, which is more than we can say for some recent UFC title fights.
Change: -- | Record: 13 - 1 - 0
First up for the interim champ is Eddie Wineland. After that, the title-unification bout with Cruz could finally, mercifully, thankfully happen.
Change: -- | Record: 32 - 1 - 0
Many critics won't take final Strikeforce champ Melendez seriously until he gets a solid UFC win. Defeating Henderson is a surefire way to do that.
Change: -- | Record: 22 - 3 - 0
Welterweight kingpin St-Pierre insists he doesn't fear the beard, but Hendricks' ample facial hair and punching power put top contenders Martin Kampmann and Jon Fitch to sleep. Can Hendricks do the same to the champ?
Change: -- | Record: 16 - 2 - 0
Dos Santos is the nicest guy you'll find in the sport. The fact he generally despises upcoming opponent Alistair Overeem is reason enough to tune in to their fight.
Change: -- | Record: 16 - 3 - 0
Benavidez lost a recent shot at the flyweight belt, but he's still clearly the top fighter in his division behind champ Demetrious Johnson.
Change: -- | Record: 19 - 4 - 0
Machida needs an opponent, as does fellow contender Alexander Gustafsson. They both want it too. Let's get it booked, UFC.
Change: -- | Record: 21 - 4 - 0
If Cormier defeats upcoming opponent Frank Mir, things are going to get interesting. Heavyweight and light heavyweight are options, a title shot is justified in either division, and a major move up the pound-for-pound rankings is likely.

April 15 USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA Rankings
Browne, who picked up a 71-second TKO win over Gabriel Gonzaga at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale, supplanted Shane Carwin and swapped spots with him, moving from No. 14 to No. 12 in the heavyweight rankings. Campuzano, who earned a decision win over Alan Nascimento in a title fight at Legacy FC 19, moved from No. 14 to No. 13 in the flyweight rankings.
Looking ahead, a big weekend is in store with UFC on FOX 7, which features 11 top 15 fighters, including No. 1 lightweight Benson Henderson, who puts his belt on the line against No. 2 Gilbert Melendez in the headliner.
ranking criteria
The rankings take into account a fighter's wins/losses, quality of competition, finishing rate/dominance and frequency of fights.
Fighters are no longer eligible to be ranked after they've been inactive for 24 months, either due to injuries, drug/conduct suspensions, contract disputes or self-imposed hiatuses.
Fighters serving drug/conduct suspensions are eligible to be ranked, so long as they're not inactive for more than 24 months.
To the best of our ability, fighters will be ranked in their primary weight class. Catchweight fights and bouts outside the fighter's primary weight class can have a positive or negative impact on the ranking. However, fighters can be ranked in only one weight class at a given time, and in most cases, they won't be ranked in a new weight class until they've had their first fight at that weight.
