New Delhi: UFC rankings are one of the important parts of the sport. Fighters are ranked by their records, activeness, and impact in the fights. Sometimes, fans oppose the UFC’s ranking and raise questions about favoritism in the UFC. One recent controversy is that Jon Jones has been inactive since 2023, but he is the UFC’s No. 1 ranked heavyweight.
Jones was the pound-for-pound no.1 fighter for a long time when he was not active in the UFC, with his past record UFC made him the no.1 ranked. Currently, Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev is the pound-for-pound no. 1 fighter in the UFC.
In a recent interview, a reporter asked Dana White about his pound-for-pound rankings. White replied that currently two Champions Makhachev and Alex Pereira are his top two fighters and Jones is his third. Fans trolled him for his third pick as whenever White attended any podcast or interview he talked about Jones in any way, which fans didn’t like at all.
White was also convinced about adding technology to the sport and he is looking forward to add new technologies to evolve the sport and solved the issues of UFC.
“Hope you guys read that stat. You know what is f*cking great about technology? We’re not far away from AI actually doing these rankings, and it’ll be a great f*cking day when AI starts doing this sh*t. I’m really excited about that.” White said in an interview.
Currently, independent media is handling the UFC rankings but with the statements made by White, it will not take too long for Chatgpt or any other AI to rank UFC fighters in the company.
