Real rankings from Sherdog the best ranings in MMA

1. Jon Jones (22-1)
Jones is MMA’s best light heavyweight and also the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Beyond those superlatives, he might be the greatest mixed martial artist ever. None of that matters, however, in light of his failed June 16 anti-doping test, as “Jonny Bones” tested positive for hydroxyclomiphene and letrozole, two anti-estrogenic agents. Jones will face a hearing in the near future, and if he cannot provide an overwhelmingly compelling excuse for his blown test, he risks a fine and a suspension, as much as $500,000 and two years away from the sport. In his last four fights alone, Jones has thrashed nearly half the 205-pound Top 10, besting Alexander Gustafsson, Glover Teixeira, Daniel Cormier and Ovince St. Preux. Those accomplishments will be set to the side if Jones’ suspension is upheld, and we will have a new No. 1 at 205 pounds and a new pound-for-pound king.

2. Demetrious Johnson (24-2-1)
Pound-for-pound king Jon Jones struggled to shake off the ring rust and dominate in typical fashion against Ovince St. Preux at UFC 197. Meanwhile, on that same card, Johnson defended his UFC flyweight title for the eighth time, easily knocking out previously unbeaten Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo with vicious knees to the body in under three minutes. As a result, many fans and media alike began proclaiming “Mighty Mouse” the pound-for-pound ruler of the sport. Now, Jones faces a suspension of up to two years, which would remove him from the current MMA scene, as well as these rankings. Should that come to pass, Johnson will ascend to the pound-for-pound throne, as he heals from injury and awaits his slated Dec. 3 date with the winner of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 24 in his ninth flyweight title defense.

3. Daniel Cormier (18-1)
Cormier is in an unenviable position. He now holds the undisputed UFC light heavyweight championship, but his loss to Jon Jones at UFC 182 cannot be ignored. Soon, on account of a pending United States Anti-Doping Agency suspension, Jones may become an afterthought for the time being, allowing Cormier to rise in these pound-for-pound rankings and become a truer 205-pound champion. Nevertheless, given their epic rivalry and the outcome of their January 2015 encounter, Cormier will not be measured on his outstanding resume as both a heavyweight and a light heavyweight; he will be measured by the fact that he has yet to defeat Jones. Worse, Cormier is already 37 years old, so even if Jones is not hit with the full two-year suspension, it could forever alter and spoil the viability of a Jones-Cormier rematch. Cormier’s wins over Alexander Gustafsson, Anthony Johnson, Dan Henderson, Roy Nelson, Frank Mir, Josh Barnett and Antonio Silva speak to his multidivisional dominance, but unless he can eventually secure and win a rematch with “Jonny Bones,” the Olympian will never nail down the MMA legacy he feels he deserves.

4. Eddie Alvarez (28-4)
He has spent the last eight-plus years putting in work as a top-flight lightweight, and in July, Alvarez cemented himself as one of the very best fighters ever at 155 pounds -- the deepest and most talented division in MMA for several years running. Once you get beyond the B.J. Penns and Takanori Gomis of the world, how many lightweights are left with better resumes? While he soundly fell to Donald Cerrone via decision in his September 2014 debut in the UFC, Alvarez has ripped off three straight victories over three of the 10 best lightweights in history, topping Gilbert Melendez and Anthony Pettis before running roughshod over Rafael dos Anjos for the title. Given his upset win for the strap and the nature of the 155-pound weight class, the deck is stacked against the Kensington, Pennsylvania, native to be a reigning, defending champion. Should he hold onto his title, Alvarez stands the chance at crossing out other excellent lightweights such as Khabib Nurmagomedov, Tony Ferguson, Will Brooks and others, expanding on an already legendary record.

5. Rafael dos Anjos (25-8)
In his second UFC lightweight title defense on July 7, dos Anjos was absolutely raked on the feet by Alvarez; and though the Brazilian never hit the ground, he had his crown captured by the former Bellator MMA champion. However, dos Anjos maintains a comfy place in these rankings because of his recently outstanding resume and the quality of the division over which he lorded, if only temporarily. Dos Anjos was 10-1 in his last 11 outings heading into the Alvarez bout and had beaten Benson Henderson, Nate Diaz, Anthony Pettis and Donald Cerrone, consecutively and in dominant fashion. It remains to be seen if dos Anjos can knock off another string of elite lightweights to get another crack at UFC lightweight gold. The 31-year-old’s track record over the last four years suggests he will have ample opportunities to put high-level prizefighters on his ledger, even if he finds it hard to come by a rematch with Alvarez.

6. Tyron Woodley (16-3)
After 18 months away from the Octagon, Woodley took the UFC welterweight title in his return to action, smashed pound-for-pound stalwart Robbie Lawler in just over two minutes and gained easily the most outstanding, resonant victory of his career. Woodley owns wins over Carlos Condit, Kelvin Gastelum and Dong Hyun Kim in just his last five bouts, but dethroning Lawler puts Woodley in a new stratosphere. Though “The Chosen One” has been quick to call out Nick Diaz for what he deems a “big-money” fight for his first title defense, Woodley’s path to climbing the pound-for-pound rankings runs through the legitimate No. 1 contender at 170 pounds right now: Stephen Thompson. “Wonderboy” himself has enjoyed a 170-pound run that places him among the top 15 to 20 fighters on the planet.

7. Robbie Lawler (27-11, 1 NC)
Heading into his UFC 201 title defense against Tyron Woodley, the 34-year-old Lawler had won eight of his last nine bouts in the ultra-deep welterweight division; and should his UFC 195 classic with Carlos Condit hold out for another five months, he will have won three straight “Fight of the Year” awards. However, in spite of his outstanding record in one of MMA’s finest weight classes, Lawler’s one-sided knockout loss to Woodley sets him back. Lawler has toppled Condit, Rory MacDonald, Johny Hendricks, Matt Brown and Jake Ellenberger in the last two years alone, but in order to maintain his position on this list and get another crack at UFC welterweight gold, the “Ruthless” one will need to rebound and prove he can still stand up to the damage he withstood throughout his unexpected championship run.

8. Conor McGregor (19-3)
McGregor’s pound-for-pound status presents a unique case. On one hand, McGregor has beaten a wide cross-section of the ever-improving featherweight division, taking out the likes of Max Holloway, Dustin Poirier, Chad Mendes and Jose Aldo -- the greatest 145-pound fighter of all-time. On the other, McGregor was soundly dispatched by lightweight Nate Diaz in their 170-pound bout in March; now, he has opted to rematch Diaz at the same weight come UFC 202 on Aug. 20. “The Notorious” has already put together a quality pound-for-pound resume at 145 pounds and claimed the UFC featherweight crown in the process, but if he falls to Diaz for the second time in less than six months, he will inevitably see his stature fall among the greatest fighters in the sport.
 
If bisping is the 10th best fighter in the world then that sounds about right ha
 
He deserves to be at the bottom of that list, if anything. Notice how he's the least well-rounded fighter on the list, save for maybe Michael Bisping.

Bisping is much more well-rounded
 
Dillashaw at 14 and Cruz at 2 is a travesty.
 
these ranking mean nothing

Muy horrible.
 
As we all know the rankings don't mean shit and only used for promotional purposes, He'll be lucky to be top 10 if he loses his rematch.
