How can Francis Ngannou be ranked number 2 with only 1 win in 2022? A decision win at that where he was losing before he started to wrestle? Alex Pereira fought 3 times in one year and won a championship fight but is ranked lower?? ,There’s a bunch of other questionable names too

On the top of the page says...

"Who's the best of the best?
( Updated 2 hrs, 33 mins ago ) 

The current pound-for-pound fighter ranking features only the cream of the crop from every weight class. To earn a spot, fighters need an extraordinary winning streak, or an extraordinary legacy, or both. Create YOUR own ranking today."

Plus... 

Francis N'Gannou with 17-3-0

VS

Alex Pereira with 7-1-0 

It's a huge gap... yeah maybe N'Gannou hasn't to many fights this year, but he has a better overall resume over Pereira... !?

( I don't make Rankings, just my first thoughts when i saw your posts and then checking out the Rankings... ! )

@TARTARA

You’re saying a bunch of nothing this is fighter of the year not “who’s the best pound for pound” and going by that there’s still a bunch of fighters who deserve to be ranked higher than him
