Here is a list of the World Rankings in MMA. These are not much different from my own, some how my rankings are not industry standard so here they go. When ranking a fighter they take into consideration a fighter's performance in addition to his win-loss record, head-to-head and common opponents, difficulty of opponents, and numerous other factors in what is the most comprehensive rankings system in the sport. In MMA a fighter who is suspended due to failing a pre-fight or post fight urinalysis is not considered for this list.
HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION (over 205 pounds)
#1 Heavyweight Fighter in the World: Fedor Emelianenko
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION (205-pound limit)
#1 Light Heavyweight Fighter in the World: Quinton Jackson
MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION (185-pound limit)(EliteXC MIDDLEWEIGHT Division is 160 pounds)
#1 Middleweight Fighter in the World: Anderson Silva
WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION (170-pound limit)
#1 Welterweight Fighter in the World: Matt Serra
LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION (160-pound limit)
#1 Lightweight Fighter in the World: Takanori Gomi
FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION (145 pounds and under)
#1 Featherweight Fighter in the World: Akitoshi Tamura
With the ever increasing popularity of MMA, it's just a matter of time before we see more divisions added and multiple titles added to a division.
