  JDS, Mir, Velasquez, Overeem, , Big Country, Carwin, Barnett, Kongo, Hapa, Big Nog, Scaub, Santos, Cormier, Russow, Werdum, Fedor, Gonzaga, Struve, Herman, Sanchez, Arlovski, Sylvia, Monson, Conrad, Lopez, Karitonov. Top 25, Update; Current retirements accounted for are Lesnar and Cro Cop. JDS manifests highlight reel splendour into title gold. Overeem is the biggest overall mover, capitalizing on a shot. Werdum gets a big opportunity coming up against Roy Nelson and Fedor and Monson switch places so to speak.. and both prove themselves still very capable in the process.

Before asking where a specific fighter is ranked or why they aren't ranked: - Fighters who have not fought in 450 days or more ARE NOT RANKED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. - Use the "Fighter Search" option in the upper-right of the page. The fighter may be ranked in a different division. - Most of the divisions have multiple pages beyond this one. See the clickable ranges above and below the ranking table. Furthermore, we do not maintain the "next fight" data. This is gathered from Sherdog. Any issues regarding this data should be forwarded to them.
