Best MMA Fighters Pound-for-Pound
by Trevor Whenham - 8/27/2009
With the summer drawing to a close, it's a good time to revisit our MMA pound for pound rankings of the best UFC fighters and best MMA fighters again. We are taking some risk by doing this just a couple of days before a UFC event, I guess, but there isn't anything on the dull UFC 102 card that is likely to change these rankings.

Doc's Top 10 MMA Rankings
by Trevor Whenham - 6/12/09
It has been several months since we last looked at our MMA pound-for-pound rankings, and much has changed.

It's time for another look at the rankings of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world of mixed martial arts. It has been about six months since we have last looked at the best fighters in MMA (including the best UFC fighters), and a lot has changed since then. Five of our last Top 10 fighters have fallen out of the rankings, with none falling further than Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, who dropped out of the list from fifth. Here's a look at my current rankings, with the ranking from last time in brackets.
