Jon Jones is Sherdog.com's new #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. What say you?

[Reaperman]

GSP has 8 more fights in the UFC than Jones, and he is the king of a tougher division. He has been on top forever. Jones destroys people though and he looks unstoppable right now. I think GSP should still be #1 just because of the number of fights and title defenses. Jones will wind up taking that title though if he keeps up his pace.

JDS isn't on the list, yet he would crush just about everyone on said list?

These rankings are silly.

P4P debate is subjective and there is no correct answer.

GSP should be #1.

Faced far tougher competition of late, and has been a dominant champ for far longer.

WTF? For Christ sake dude, GSP has fought exactly twice in the past TWO AND A HALF fucking years!

You are either kidding, or clueless.

Beats me how anyone could rank Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz above Shogun, Rampage, Machida, Vitor Belfort, Chael Sonnen and Sugar Rashad as competition, but to each their own.

The list should be:

1. Jon Jones
2. Georges St-Pierre
3. Anderson Silva
4. Jose Aldo
5. Cain Velasquez
6. Benson Henderson
7. Chris Weidman
8. Lyoto Machida
9. Renan Barao
10. Demitrious Johnson
Runner-Ups: Junior dos Santos, Gilbert Melendez, Anthony Pettis, Joseph Benavidez, Johny Hendricks, and Vitor Belfort

Check the number of ranked wins of Jones' past 6 opponents and compare them to GSP's (how great they are)

Then check how high Shogun, Lyoto, Rampage and Rashad were ranked when JJ beat them (relevancy at the time)

Lastly, he's looked great in beating them. And there's your answer.

These are not GOAT rankings, but simply a method to gauge who's the current best fighter in the world, and that means about the last 5 fights, not the last 10 years.
