The UFC’s final show of 2018 was a monumental one and created some movement in our rankings.
The most notable change is on the women’s side, where Amanda Nunes (17-4 MMA, 10-1 UFC) now has ascended to the top spot in our pound-for-pound rankings. Nunes took out Cris Cyborg (20-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) with a first-round knockout in less than a minute and added the 145-pound title to go along with her 135-pound belt.
Naturally, Nunes supplanted Cyborg at No. 1 at women’s featherweight – but she also took her spot at the top of the overall women’s list.
UFC 232 also saw the return of Jon Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) as a UFC champion. He stopped Alexander Gustafsson (18-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) with a third-round TKO to reclaim the light heavyweight title. He already was atop the 205-pound class, but Daniel Cormier has dropped out and remains only at heavyweight now – which is good news for Bellator’s Ryan Bader.
