Pound 4 Pound rankings
Jon Jones' personal indiscretions have left him sidelined indefinitely and stripped of his UFC title. He dodged a bullet while only receiving probabtion for his mistakes and will likely fight for his belt in his return to the cage.
Change: -- | Record: 21 - 1 - 0
After a heated international media tour, Aldo suffered an incredibly unfortunate rib injury that forced him out of a highly anticpated UFC 189 clash with Conor McGregor. The two now meet at UFC 194 on Dec. 12.
Change: -- | Record: 25 - 1 - 0
"Mighty Mouse" appears to have no equal at flyweight. Whether he moves up to bantamweight remains to be seen, but his first goal is besting Anderson Silva's UFC record of 10 consecutve title defenses.
Change: -- | Record: 23 - 2 - 1
Weidman absolutely steamrolled Vitor Belfort and now takes on Luke Rockhold at UFC 194.
Change: -- | Record: 13 - 0 - 0
Upcoming Fight: vs. Dominick "The Dominator" Cruz | Jan 17, 2016 - UFC Fight Night 81: Dillashaw vs. Cruz
Dillashaw eliminated any potential lingering doubts with an absolute destruction of Renan Barao in their rematch. A fight with former champ Dominick Cruz is up next at January's UFC Fight Night 81.
Change: -- | Record: 12 - 2 - 0
New champ dos Anjos was brilliant in his title win over Anthony Pettis. Now, it's all about healing his knee and readying for a title fight with Donald Cerrone at UFC on FOX 17.
Change: -- | Record: 24 - 7 - 0
Werdum now owns submisson wins over Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez. Not bad. Look for the Velasquez rematch in early 2016.
Change: -- | Record: 20 - 5 - 1
Cormier may only be champion because of Jon Jones' legal troubles, but he shouldn't have any doubters as to his worthiness as a titleholder after an incredible win over Alexander Gustafsson.
Change: -- | Record: 17 - 1 - 0
Upcoming Fight: vs. Carlos "The Natural Born Killer" Condit | Jan 02, 2016 - UFC 195: Lawler vs. Condit
After a "Fight of the Year" candidate victory over Rory MacDonald, Lawler was expected to face Carlos Condit at UFC 193 in Australia. However, a thumb injury forced the champ to delay the fight until UFC 195.
Change: -- | Record: 26 - 10 - 0
Velasquez lost his title in the thin air of Mexico City but vowed to avenge his defeat. He's expected to get an immediate rematch with Fabricio Werdum in March.
Change: -- | Record: 13 - 2 - 0
Former UFC welterweight champion St-Pierre's days on this list may be numbered; despite hints of a comeback, he has no concrete plans.
Change: -- | Record: 25 - 2 - 0

Change: -- | Record: 17 - 3 - 0
In a heartbreaking development, the undefeated Dagestani recovered from a knee injury only to suffer broken ribs in training, scratching his December bout with Tony Ferguson.
Change: -- | Record: 22 - 0 - 0
To some, McGregor is already one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet. To others, he's an overhyped Chael Sonnen clone. He tries to unify the belts when he meets Jose Aldo at UFC 194.
Change: -- | Record: 18 - 2 - 0
Upcoming Fight: vs. Chad "Money" Mendes | Dec 11, 2015 - The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale: Edgar vs. Mendes
Edgar is pining for another shot at the UFC featherweight title, but it looks like he'll have to wait for the time being. Should he beat Chad Mendes in December, there would simply be no denying him.

NOS® Energy Drink MMA Rankings, Nov. 10: Thomas Almeida jumps up the rankings
After running his winning streak to 20 with a UFC Fight Night 77 knockout of Anthony Birchak, undefeated Thomas Almeida has jumped up two spots in the latest NOS Energy Drink MMA Rankings.
The Brazilian bantamweight made the leap from No. 15 to No. 13 following his third straight UFC knockout victory. Almeida looks like he’s a near-lock for a future spot in the top-10.
Check out all of the rankings above while we prepare for this weekend, which will see plenty of action among ranked fighters. At UFC 193, Ronda Rousey will look to defend her women’s bantamweight title and No. 1 spot in the division when she faces off with No. 9 ranked Holly Holm in the main event; No. 1 ranked women’s strawweight Joanna Jedrzejczyk defends her UFC belt against No. 7 ranked Valerie Letourneau in the co-main event; and in a heavyweight clash, No. 10 ranked Mark Hunt takes on No. 14 Antonio Silva. Also in action on the card are No. 11 ranked middleweight Uriah Hall and No. 11 ranked heavyweight Stefan Struve.
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.
