Pound 4 Pound rankings
Talk of a potential superfight is cooling, so for now, Silva is focused solely on this weekend's UFC 162 meeting with Chris Weidman.
Change: -- | Record: 33 - 6 - 0
Jones has long mentioned facing the 6-foot-5 Alexander Gustafsson as a means of silencing critics who say his own long frame is his sole reason for success. He'll get that chance at UFC 165.
Change: -- | Record: 19 - 1 - 0
The longtime welterweight champ will put his belt on the line against heavy-hitting Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in November.
Change: -- | Record: 25 - 2 - 0
Instead of a superfight against Anthony Pettis, Aldo now looks to defend his belt against Chan Sung Jung at UFC 163. Could a lightweight move follow?
Change: -- | Record: 24 - 1 - 0
Upcoming Fight: vs. Rustam "Tiger" Khabilov | Jun 07, 2014 - UFC Fight Night 42: Henderson vs. Khabilov
Unless an injured Anthony Pettis heals quickly and steals his slot, T.J. Grant will provide Benson Henderson's next challenge at UFC 164 in August.
Change: -- | Record: 20 - 3 - 0
Cruz has been on the sidelines for 21 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 UFC's first flyweight champion will have home-field advantage when he meets John Moraga later this month at UFC on FOX 8.
Change: -- | Record: 19 - 2 - 1
Up next for Velasquez is a big-money trilogy fight with Junior dos Santos, though Fabricio Werdum's recent win makes him a worthy challenger too.
Change: -- | Record: 13 - 1 - 0
Like champ Dominick Cruz, interim titleholder Barao is injured and on the sidelines. The division is at a standstill.
Change: -- | Record: 32 - 1 - 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 beating Mark Hunt at UFC 160 wasn't too surprising. But the method of victory – a flashy spinning heel kick – certainly raised some eyebrows.
Change: -- | Record: 16 - 3 - 0
Benavidez lost a recent shot at the flyweight belt, but he's still clearly the top fighter in the 125-pound division behind champ Demetrious Johnson.
Change: -- | Record: 19 - 4 - 0
With Alexander Gustafsson up next for champ Jon Jones, Machida now faces Phil Davis at August's UFC 163 event.
Change: -- | Record: 21 - 4 - 0
Cormier looked respectable, if not necessarily flashy, in his recent UFC debut. Now "DC" is planning a final heavyweight fight before a move down to 205 pounds.
Change: -- | Record: 14 - 0 - 0
"Showtime" could have been the UFC's No. 1 contender at lightweight but elected instead to drop down to 145 pounds for a guaranteed shot at Jose Aldo. Unfortunately, injury scratched those plans, and Pettis now awaits his next assignment.

July 1 USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA Rankings
At Saturday’s UFC 162 event, seven top 15 fighters and two honorable mentions are in action. They include No. 1 middleweight and champion Anderson Silva vs. No. 3 Chris Weidman in the headliner, as well as No. 5 featherweight Cub Swanson vs. No. 8 Dennis Siver in the pay-per-view opener. Additionally, the featured prelim has No. 8 Mark Munoz vs. Mo. 10 Tim Boetsch in a bout between two middleweight contenders.
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.
