125:
- Pantoja (king of 125)

135:
- Merab (king of 135)

145:
- Lerone Murphy (17-0)
- (Not Volk. He was KO'd stiff by Ilia, also old and out of prime now)

155:
- Topuria (17-0)
- Islam (former P4P #1)

170:
- JDM or Islam (let's wait until after they fight in November 2025)
- Shavkat (19-0)
- Morales (18-0)

185:
- Chimaev (sometimes boring, but effective)
- (Not Dricus. He is clear #2 in the world, but got dominated for 25 minutes by Chimaev)

205:
- Ankalaev (boring but effective)
- Poatan (will move to heavyweight or retire soon due to age. the 2 next best guys after Poatan retires will be Ankalaev and Jiri)
- Jiri (KO'd twice by Poatan, but Poatan struggled against Ankalaev. Jiri's aggressive style has a chance against Ankalaev)

Heavyweight:
- Aspinall (new generation MMA. 100% finish rate)
- Jones (best MMA fighter of all time, based on resume and versatility of mma skillset)
- Ngannou (even though KO'd by Anthony Johsua, still a dangerous MMA puncher)
- Almeida (heavyweight version of Khamzat. KO'd by Curtis, but Almeida was dominating Round 1)
 
Agreed besides Almeida and Jones. Also 205 is just Ank. Jiri is a challenge but he lost to Poatan 2x.

155 Ilia didn't do enough. Beat Charles.

25 35 45 is spot on

170 is spot in besides Islam as he never fought at 170


185 true


Overal pretty good especially with rating Murphy and Moares.
 
Forgot Jean Silva being better than Murphy, he does those KO's, a little more often.

Illia didn't do enough? Shavkat is top dog 170. Needs to fight for the belt
