    1. Jon Jones is currently inactive since dropping Light Heavyweight title. That’s why he is not in Light Heavyweight division.
      Going forward he wants to compete in the Heavyweight division. But with no fights in Heavyweight division, he is not considered for rankings in that division also.
      However, he is currently at top in Pound for Pound rankings.

  1. Has the UFC officially ranked their fighters since 3/26/22 and if so why is Joanne Wood still ranked 7 and still ranked above Alexa Grasso 9 who just defeated her?

  2. What’s the deal with the women’s featherweight division? Amanda Nunes is considered the champion but the champion of what? There’s nobody else in that division.
