In the world’s biggest MMA promotion, having a top position in the Pound for Pound rankings is indeed a great deal. UFC introduced PFP rankings back in 2013. The rankings are based on the votes generated by media members. This has brought clarity to deciding the most dominant UFC fighters. The media persons will vote for whichever fighter they feel stood out by considering their weight class and pound for pound. According to the major condition of the promotion, a fighter is only eligible to be in the ranking if he or she is an active contender in the UFC. Additionally, the MMA fighter can actively participate in two divisions simultaneously.

When it comes to champions and interim champions, they are already placed at the top of their division, so their names won’t be included in voting for division rankings. Nonetheless, the kings of each division are included when it comes to PFP rankings. The current UFC pound-for-pound rankings have divided the internet into multiple factions. One common factor the majority pointed out is how Leon Edwards destroyed the career of Kamaru Usman.

One of the fans pointed out how Kamaru Usman’s career faced a downfall after losing to Leon Edwards.

Crazy how fast the sport changes. 8 months ago Usman was #1.

 Another fan pointed out the same about Kamaru Usman’s decline in a short span of time.

 Leon really destroyed Usman’s career

 One of the netizens was not okay with where Dustin Poirier stood on the list.

 Honestly it’s kinda wild Poirier is that high. Everyone else on the list has been champ

 Another fan was not happy with the rankings.

 Feels like we need to shake it up a bit

 It disappointed one fan at Brandon Moreno‘s position in the rankings.

 Personally think Moreno should be higher at least above also if not 5th being more well rounded that everyone he would pass.

 One of the fans blurted out how Jon Jones does not deserve to be the top one in P4P.

Sure a guy whos 3 years off is p4p over guys that have been active all along.

The downfall of Kamaru Usman’s career

Kamaru Usman fell from the Men’s Pound for Pound ladder when he faced two consecutive losses against Leon Edwards. As a result of his last loss, he fell to the #8 position in the UFC’s men’s PFP. In October 2021, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ took over Jon Jones to become rank #1. However, the reign was short-lived.
