UFC fighter rankings: There’s a new top pound-for-pound fighter in the world

Daniel Cormier took quite a step up when he knocked out UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic to become just the second person to hold two UFC titles at the same time. In fact, the UFC rankings panel has decided to bump him into the top spot in the pound-for-pound rankings.

Last weekend’s TUF Finale didn’t change the rankings at all anywhere else really, but UFC 226 sure did. So without further ado, let’s look at all the changes for this week.

P4P - Cormier is your new top guy. That drops Demetrious Johnson to number two.
