As of October 2nd, the Top 4 in our All-Time MMA Rankings (Absolute) shook out like this:
7878 – Georges St. Pierre
7076 – Anderson Silva
4665 – Fedor Emelianenko
4400 – Matt Hughes
And the next 2 in line…
3900 – Jose Aldo
3612 – Jon Jones
.
Barring something miraculous, the point totals of Fedor and Hughes are set in stone and will only rise/fall with trends that the data causes. GSP is stagnant, at least for now and Silva is still active, though not achieving much for the time being…. so this leaves the door open for Aldo and Jones.
With Aldo’s latest victory, he will certainly earn enough points to eclipse the 4000 point mark and with how the calculations work, should pass Hughes by the end of the year or by very early next year. With Fedor only 6% ahead of Hughes, Aldo will catch him shortly after.
