After a dominant victory over former teammate Rashad Evans at UFC 145, many are already wondering when light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will make the move to heavyweight.
However, now just two wins away from tying Tito Ortiz for the most consecutive title defenses in the history of the 205-pound division, Jones still has some unfinished business in the class he currently reigns over.
Later this year, the 24-year-old will defend his belt against 41-year-old MMA legend Dan Henderson.
After Jones prevented Evans from reclaiming the light heavyweight title, let’s take a look at how the rest of the 205-pound division stands below Jones.
The following rankings are computerized based primarily on results against similar competition and do not include fighters who have not yet competed inside the Octagon, announced their retirement, been suspended, gone more than one year without competing or scheduled a fight in a new division.
