-
1
- Francis NGannou
- "The Predator"
- 17-3-0
-
2
- Jon Jones
- "Bones"
- 27-1-0, 1 NC
-
W vs Ciryl Gane (4/3/2023 UFC) - Looked visibly slower, but his strength his there. That additional pounds of belly fat probably added some additional pressure to the choke.
-
3
- Sergei Pavlovich
- 18-2-0
-
W vs Curtis Blaydes (22/4/2023 UFC) - Insane power
W vs Tai Tuivasa (3/12/2022 UFC) - Man's boxing looks so much better and more powerful. No one's been able to do that so quickly to Tai Tuivasa.
-
4
- Ciryl Gane
- "Bon Gamin"
- 12-2-0
-
L vs Jon Jones (4/3/2023 UFC) - Poor takedown defense and wasn't able to threaten in the brief moments striking.
-
5
- Tom Aspinall
- 14-3-0
-
6
- Curtis Blaydes
- "Razor"
- 18-4-0, 1 NC
-
L vs Sergei Pavlovich (22/4/2023 UFC) - Choosing to stand and bang costed him this fight.
-
7
- Serghei Spivac
- "Polar Bear"
- 16-4-0
-
W vs Derrick Lewis (4/2/2023 UFC) - It's scary that this guy is still so young. His judo style throws and ability to chain wrestle / grapple from there is a sight to behold.
-
8
- Alexander Volkov
- "Drago"
- 37-10-0
-
W vs Alexandr Romanov (11/3/2023 UFC) - Perfect fight. Good sprawl, into a front kick right straight combo that seemed to hurt Romanov and just battered him from the top/back for the finish.
-
9
- Tai Tuivasa
- "Bam Bam"
- 15-7-0
-
L vs Sergei Pavlovich (3/12/2022 UFC) - Just outmatched in the boxing, surprisingly.
-
10
- Jailton Almeida
- "Malhadinho"
- 20-3-0
-
W vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik (13/5/2023 UFC)
W vs Shamil Abdurakhimov (21/01/2023) - For a small HW, he possesses such great strength and technique and ability to bring down and keep big guys down.
W vs Anton Turkalj (10/9/2022 UFC) - Slick submission win.
-
11
- Marcin Tybura
- "Tybur" | 25-8-0
-
W vs Blagoy Ivanov (4/2/2023 UFC) - In the most Tybura fashion, won by outranging and then getting the late takedown.
W vs Alexandr Romanov (20/8/2022 UFC) - Experience won out and he took advantage of a gassed Romanov
-
12
- Jairzinho Rozenstruik
- "Bigi Boy" | 14-5-0
-
L vs Jailton Almeida (13/5/2023 UFC)
W vs Chris Daukaus (10/12/2022 UFC) - Daukaus doesn't have the best chin but Rozenstruik made it look easy.
-
13
- Stipe Miocic
- 20-4-0
-
14
- Derrick Lewis
- "The Black Beast" | 27-12-0, 1 NC
-
L vs Serghei Spivac (4/2/2023 UFC) - Probably lost the durability and "BJJ doesn't exist" trait to be a top contender anymore. Still may have his fluky one punch power.
-
15
- Augusto Sakai
- 16-5-1
-
W vs Don'Tale Mayes (25/2/2023 UFC) - I love me some heavyweight clinching battle. More technically sound than Mayes.
-
16
- Alexandr Romanov
- "King Kong" | 17-2-0
-
L vs Alexander Volkov (11/3/2023 UFC) - Got hurt standing then looked clueless when Volkov was on his back.
L vs Marcin Tybura (20/8/2022 UFC) - Dominated round 1 then just gassed
-
17
- Blagoy Ivanov
- "Baga" | 19-7-0, 1 NC
-
L vs Marcin Tybura (4/2/2023 UFC) - I don't see much passion. I think the first two rounds were quite close with Blagoy landing the more impactful punches, but with less volume. Needed to be more aggressive
-
18
- Chris Daukaus
- 12-7-0
-
L vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik (10/12/2022 UFC) - Glass chin taken advantage of.
-
19
- Marcos Rogério de Lima
- "Pezão" | 22-9-1
-
W vs Waldo Cortes-Acosta (29/4/2023 UFC)
W vs Andrei Arlovski (29/10/2022 UFC) - Got the knock down and quick RNC win. Arlovski looked like he shouldn't have been there
-
20
- Ryan Bader
- "Darth" | 31-8-0, 1 NC
-
W vs Fedor Emelianenko (4/2/2023 Bellator) - Got made to beat up a guy way past his prime.
-
21
- Ilir Latifi
- "The Sledgehammer" | 16-9-0, 1 NC
-
W vs Aleksei Oleinik (1/10/2022 UFC) - I like seeing HW Ilir Latifi.
-
22
- Andrei Arlovski
- "The Pitbull" | 34-23-0, 2 NC
-
L vs Marcos Rogerio de Lima (29/10/2022 UFC) - Seemed like he was just taking the fight to get paid. Knockdown seemed very light and tapped to an RNC where he wasn't fully in back control
-
23
- Anatoly Malykhin
- "Spartak" | 14-0-0
-
W vs Reinier de Ridder (3/12/2022 ONE) - Man this dude is scary with his punching power and takedown defense.
-
24
- Linton Vassell
- "The Big Swarm" | 24-9-0, 1 NC
-
W vs Valentin Moldavsky (10/3/2023 Bellator) - Man got some crazy power at heavyweight. Vicious elbows from the top.
-
25
- Shamil Abdurakhimov
- "Abrek" | 20-8-0
-
L vs Jailton Almeida (21/01/2023 UFC) - Probably the worst well-known Dagestani wrestler
-
26
- Chris Barnett
- "Beastboy" | 23-8-0
-
W vs Jake Collier (10/9/2022 UFC) - To be honest, he's only this high up because of that victory flip.
-
27
- Aleksei Oleinik
- "The Boa Constrictor" | 61-18-1
-
L vs Ilir Latifi (1/10/2022 UFC) - Not sure exactly what he was doing vs Latifi, but the clinch game was somewhat fun.
-
28
- Ante Delija
- "Walking Trouble" | 24-6-0
-
W vs Matheus Scheffel (25/11/2022 PFL) - Even though Scheffel came out with more improved striking, Delija landed the cleaner shot and then a great combination flurry to finish.
-
29
- Valentin Moldavsky
- 13-3-0, 1 NC
-
L vs Linton Vassell (10/3/2023 Bellator) - Got caught then just KO-ed from some vicious elbows.

-
32
- Daniel James
- "The American Predator" | 15-7-1, 1 NC
-
W vs Marcelo Golm (31/3/2023 Bellator) - Dude is like a budget Derrick Lewis
W vs Tyrell Fortune (19/11/2022 Bellator) -
-
33
- Waldo Cortes-Acosta
- "Salsa Boy" | 11-1-0
-
L vs Marcos Rogerio de Lima (29/4/2023 UFC)
W vs Jared Vanderaa (29/10/2022 UFC) - Has really quick hands for the division, but looks a bit green (took a lot of unchecked leg kicks and didn't have any variation in his attacks)
-
34
- Matheus Scheffel
- "Buffa" | 17-11-0, 1 NC
-
L vs Bruno Cappelozza (7/4/2023 PFL) -
L vs Ante Delija (25/11/2022 PFL) - Had slightly improved striking, but got caught with a left hook and that was it.
-
35
- Steve Mowry
- "Tall" | 10-2-1, 1 NC
-
D vs Ali Isaev (4/2/2023 Bellator) - Slightly more exciting than his opponent. Should have continued with his GnP rather than take the arm triangle as it may have been stopped. Unfortunately got gassed whilst trying to finish the arm triangle and opted to take it easy.
-
36
- Ali Isaev
- 9-0-1
-
D vs Steve Mowry (4/2/2023 Bellator) - Boring fighter. Take downs only. Got gassed, lucky his opponent gassed when in mount and arm triangel.
-
37
- Marcelo Golm
- 10-5-0
-
L vs Daniel James (31/3/2023 Bellator) - Was winning until he was losing, but even when winning did it in a very unexciting fashion.

-
47
- Chase Sherman
- "The Vanilla Gorilla" | 16-12-0
-
L vs Waldo Cortes-Acosta (19/11/2022 UFC) - Not sure what his gameplan was against a guy who's still relatively new to MMA, only good weapons are his hands and also looked susceptible to leg kicks.

48
- Jared Vanderaa
- "The Mountain" | 13-11-0
-
L vs Waldo Cortes-Acosta (29/10/2022 UFC) - Some really good leg kicks, but no real offense elsewhere
