"Mighty Mouse" is entering rarefied air with his current winning streak and UFC title reign. Promotional records are on the line every time he steps in the cage.
"Bones" was flagged for a potential doping violation ahead of UFC 200 and must sit out until July 2016. His skills remain unquestionable, but he's often his own worst enemy.
Cormier was robbed of a chance to avenge his lone career loss when Jon Jones was pulled from UFC 200, but he made the best of the situation with a decision win over Anderson Silva.
McGregor is changing the face of the sport, accomplishing everything he ever promised he would by simultaneously holding two UFC titles – though he's since been relieved of one of those belts.
It's incredible to think Aldo went unbeaten for 10 years, especially since Conor McGregor was able to end that run in just 13 seconds. Still, the Brazilian is now a champion again after a surprise UFC decision to strip Conor McGregor.
Miocic defended his belt on home territory at UFC 203 and now awaits his next assignment. Could he be the man who finally defends the UFC heavyweight belt three times?
"No Love" has officially arrived, and with the way the undefeated champ claimed the UFC title, he may very well become the promotion's newest star.
After losing his title at UFC 207, Cruz looks like he'll have to win at least one fight before he earns a potential rematch with Cody Garbrandt.
Woodley waited 19 months for his title shot, but he made the most of it and dethroned Robbie Lawler via first-round knockout. Stephen Thompson pushed him to the limit in a majority draw, and a rematch is likely next.
It's actually bizarre to consider that "Rumble" once fought at 170 pounds. He was supposed to challenge for the UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 206 but now awaits a new date.
"The Eagle" owns an incredible career mark and is getting more and more vocal about what he wants in the cage. Will Conor McGregor answer his challenge, or is Tony Ferguson next?
Bisping didn't look pretty after his UFC 204 win over Dan Henderson, but "The Count" made a real claim for 2016's "Fighter of the Year" award by defending the UFC middleweight title.
Rockhold admitted he underestimated Michael Bisping, and it cost him the UFC middleweight title. An injury recently pulled him from a fight with top contender Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza at UFC Fight Night 101 in Australia.
After a somewhat bizarre win over Travis Browne at UFC 203, ex-champ Werdum's planned UFC 207 bout was scrapped when Cain Velasquez was pulled from the fight.
Benavidez would likely be champ if Demetrious Johnson didn't have such a stranglehold on the UFC's flyweight division. He hopes a third meeting with "Mighty Mouse" is on the horizon.
With his impressive win following a truly remarkable 2016 campaign, UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt is the new No. 1 at 135 pounds.
Garbrandt dethroned ex-champ and former No. 1 Dominick Cruz to take the top spot at 135 pounds in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA Rankings. He also jumped up to No. 7 on the pound-for-pound list.
Check out the full rankings, which include fellow UFC 207 winners such as champ Amanda Nunes andT.J. Dillashaw, above.
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, non-titleholders 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.
