Following a knockout win in a UFC on Fox 9 rematch with Joseph Benavidez, Demetrious Johnson is steadily solidifying himself as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in MMA.
“Mighty Mouse” has already picked up three successful title defenses as flyweight champion. Among the current promotion’s champions, only Jon Jones and Jose Aldo have defended their UFC belts on more consecutive occasions.
Will that be enough to boost Johnson into the Top Five in the pound-for-pound rankings? How far will Benavidez fall in the 125-pound class as a result of his loss on Saturday?
With UFC on Fox 9 in the books and UFC 168 ahead, here are the latest official UFC rankings.
