These are Mattandmikesports and Phillysportsnation’s UFC rankings. We will not have any bias like some rankings systems do. We also acknowledge the skills of Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz but being that is has been 20 months since Conor has fought and 31 months since Nate has fought in his own division you will not see them ranked in our rankings. We strongly believe to be a ranked fighter in the UFC you need to be active within the past 18 months, leaving room for injury. Our rankings are the ones outside the parentheses the UFC.com rankings are inside the parentheses. We will also post each Fighters record, in their division rankings not the pound for pound.
