Who’s the highest pound-for-pound fighter in UFC?
It doesn’t matter, as a result of the entire idea of pound-for-pound is garbage and is unnecessary. That’s in keeping with interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, the most recent fighter (behind this heavyweight rival) to smash the “bulls*t” rankings.
“What is that this pound-for-pound bullshit?” Aspinall requested throughout UFC 304 media day (watch the replay here). “It’s a load of garbage. It simply doesn’t even make sense. Don’t get me began on that shit. It’s identical to, how are you going to have a pound-for-pound [ranking]? What does that [mean]? Does that imply if everybody’s the identical measurement?”
UFC light-weight champion Islam Makhachev currently holds the top spot.
“So how are you going to evaluate Demetrious Johnson’s model to Brock Lesnar’s model and say in the event that they’re the identical? Like, they’ve acquired utterly totally different attributes,” Aspinall continued. “I’ve acquired a bulldog, proper? It’s like saying if my bulldog had a extremely lengthy neck, who would win [in a fight] a giraffe or the bulldog? It’s absolute bullshit. How are you going to even evaluate it? It’s a load of garbage.”
Aspinall has a possibility to climb the pound-for-pound rankings — even when they don’t make sense — with a victory over No. 4-ranked heavyweight bruiser Curtis Blaydes after they rematch within the UFC 304 pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event in Manchester.
