The UFC rankings have been updated following UFC 284, and we’ve got the full report for you below!
Men’s Pound for Pound: With the main event of UFC 284 between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski being promoted as a fight to determine the UFC’s top pound-for-pound fighter, it may come as a large surprise to many, including Makhachev himself, to learn that the top-two slots remain unchanged despite Makhachev’s (#2) unanimous decision victory over Volkanovski (#1).
Makhachev had considered his placement at the #1 pound-for-pound position a foregone conclusion after defeating Volkanovski, but this has proven not to be the case, with the Aussie holding his spot at the top of the rankings.
Another change this week has seen Jon Jones (#10) swap places with Ji?í Procházka (#11).
