• Another mid-week ranking update to test some more server updates and improvements — site should seem faster.
• Men’s Featherweight: Top 550 expanded to Top 600
• Men’s Bantamweight: Top 450 expanded to Top 500
• Men’s Strawweight: Top 25 expanded to Top 30
• Women’s Flyweight: Top 50 expanded to Top 60

This is only counting UFC rankings from Feb 5, 2013 when they began. I’m not going to include rankings before this time to keep it simple. This is an imperfect list since many fighters having big wins before the rankings were introduced, top fighters outside the UFC (Mousasi, Rory, Bader etc) and of course some controversial fights that require context. But it’s still an interesting look at the last 6 years.

I looked at fighters that have a lot of hype behind them due to activity and/or win streaks like Khabib, Holloway, Cerrone and Ferguson as well as listed the guys that had 5+ Top 10 wins like Werdum and Cormier.
