Our newest addition, Pound-for-Pound MMA rankings, is now available in the Generated Historical Rankings and Published Ranking Snapshots (starting with October 2013 issue).
If you’re historically inclined, you can now look up what the Pound-for-Pound Top 15 would have looked like in early 2005, or see what it actually looked like last month!

On November 16th, the #1 ranked welterweight in the world and the UFC’s longest currently reigning champion Georges St. Pierre (sponsored by 888poker) is scheduled to defend his title against the top contender, [#2 WW] Johny Hendricks. On paper, it’s an interesting match up of styles: Hendricks, 10-1 in UFC and on a 6 win streak, has superb collegiate wrestling credentials that should allow him to defend GSP’s amazing takedowns, or even put the champion on his back. He also possesses huge one-punch KO power, and thought he hasn’t fought in a 5-rounder yet, he has shown the ability to go the distance in a few of his fights (the last one being a unanimous decision victory over Carlos Condit) . Based on these factors, many fans are picking an upset, predicting Hendricks to hand St. Pierre his first loss since 2007. However these predictions have also been made about GSP’s last few opponents; once the fighters are locked in the cage and the bell rings, the turn of events is often very different than all the pre-fight theorizing. And GSP is one of the best fighters in MMA at game-planning to his opponents weaknesses and neutralizing their strengths.
But I am not going to make any predictions on this fight. Instead, I want to summarize the frankly amazing list of GSP’s accomplishments in the sport. Both loved and hated by the fans, St. Pierre has been one of the UFC’s biggest and most consistent ticket sellers and PPV draws. Yet he is often criticized for his safe fighting style, opting for controlling his opponent for the duration of the fight instead of constantly looking to finish the fight at the expense of leaving himself open, which can make for a dull bout to watch. Many say that after his loss to Matt Serra, Georges became gun-shy. The fact that his last 6 bouts went to a decision, and a 54% finish rate through his career, do little to dispel this notion.
Regardless of how you feel about GSP’s fighting style, his accomplishments in the sport can’t be denied, and are rivaled by very few. So, keep on reading for Georges St Pierre by the numbers:
