Pound 4 Pound rankings
Upcoming Fight: vs. Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson | Sep 27, 2014 - UFC 178: Jones vs. Gustafsson II
Jones looked incredible in his UFC 172 win over Glover Teixeira and appears well on his way to achieving his stated goal of becoming the greatest fighter in the history of the sport.
Change: -- | Record: 20 - 1 - 0
Aldo continues to tease a potential move to lightweight, but for now, he'll look to remain the only featherweight champion the UFC has ever known when he rematches Chad Mendes in August.
Change: -- | Record: 24 - 1 - 0
With St-Pierre suffering an ACL injury, his days on this list may be numbered. Initial indications suggested his decision to step away from the sport was more "leave of absence" than outright retirement, but things may be changing.
Change: -- | Record: 25 - 2 - 0
The UFC's first (and to date, only) flyweight champion has successfully defended his belt three times. He returns to action this week to face heavy-handed Ali Bagautinov.
Change: -- | Record: 19 - 2 - 1
Weidman was expected to meet Vitor Belfort before an NSAC ruling changed those plans. Then it was Lyoto Machida in May, before a knee injury forced Weidman to back things up until July.
Change: -- | Record: 11 - 0 - 0
Velasquez's shoulder is finally healed, and he'll meet Fabricio Werdum in November after the two serve as coaches on "The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America."
Change: -- | Record: 13 - 1 - 0
Time will tell whether Silva's broken leg will signal the end of his career. He's targeting an early-2015 return.
Change: -- | Record: 33 - 6 - 0
A knee injury forced Pettis out of a planned title fight with Josh Thomson. "Showtime" instead faces Gilbert Melendez after they coach on "The Ultimate Fighter 20."
Change: -- | Record: 17 - 2 - 0
After a thriller at UFC 171, Hendricks and his beard are now in possession of the UFC welterweight title. "Bigg Rigg" is taking a little vacation, and then UFC officials will determine who comes next.
Change: -- | Record: 16 - 2 - 0
Dillashaw has officially arrived on the scene following an upset win over Renan Barao.
Change: -- | Record: 10 - 2 - 0
Just as Barao was starting to gain the recognition that should come along with not losing a fight for nearly a decade, T.J. Dillashaw came along and wrecked it all, taking the UFC title in the process.
Change: -- | Record: 32 - 2 - 0
Mendes has emerged as the best featherweight not named Jose Aldo. A rematch with the champ comes in August, and Mendes will hope a fence grab doesn't keep him from putting Aldo on his back.
Change: -- | Record: 16 - 1 - 0
After a few tumultuous months, Belfort is now expected to fill in for Wanderlei Silva in at UFC 175 in a big fight with Chael Sonnen.
Change: -- | Record: 24 - 10 - 0
Cormier ran through MMA legend Dan Henderson and now has his eyes set on a championship matchup with Jon Jones.
Change: -- | Record: 15 - 0 - 0
Henderson risked his position as a top contender by facing the unheralded Rustam Khabilov. While the Russian found success early, Henderson eventually turned things up en route to a submission win.
Change: -- | Record: 21 - 3 - 0
Honorable Mentions
With a victory over John Moraga (and a past win over now-champ T.J. Dillashaw), Dodson supplants Gilbert Melendez on the honorable-mention list.

USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie rankings, June 10: Dodson enters pound-for-pound mix
Following UFC Fight Night 42, where Benson Henderson solidified his status as the world’s No. 2 ranked lightweight, some other notables stood out in this week’s USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA Power Rankings.
Chief among them was John Dodson, who scored a TKO win over John Moraga at the June 7 event. With the impressive victory, the high-energy Dodson remains No. 2 at 125 pounds, but he’s also joined the list of honorable mentions in the pound-for-pound category.
Check out the full rankings above.
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.
