Provided that pound for pound ranking is truly the most objective way to compare fighters that would essentially never face each other because they belong to different weight classes, that is exactly what we are going to bring to you in this article.

10. Michael Bisping

Bisping clinched the UFC middle weight championship courtesy of his last fight against Luke Rockhold. The fighter is in his late 30’s but still has a lot to offer.

9. Eddie Alvarez

Has been in impeccable form in his last three fights, all of which he won hands down convincingly. He was crowned the UFC lightweight Champion earlier this month.

8. Stripe Miocic

UFC 198 is when he made a real breakthrough after knocking out Fabricio Werdum to win the UFC heavy weight championship

7. Jose Aldo

Has dominated the Featherweight division for six years and his only competition is Conor McGregor

6. Robbie Lawler

Has been on the run of his life and has hit form at the right time. Just one loss in his last nine fights!

5. Conor McGregor

Has moved from featherweight to welterweight, but is still undoubtedly a force to reckon with.

4. Jon Jones

If not for the failed drug tests that plague him, Jon Jones could easily be number one on this very list.

3. Daniel Cormier

Has only ever lost to Jon Jones and has a career record 18 – 1. Cormier never got a chance for a rematch against Jones, but that is barely his fault.

2. Dominick Cruz

The current Bantamweight champion has a stunning career record of 22 – 1. He only lost once back in 2007 to Uriah Faber

1. Demetrius Johnson

Johnson lost to Cruz in 2011, but most experts and bookies are convinced he will emerge victorious was there to be a rematch.

UFC fight night 201 will witness Lawler take on Woodley and we are here to give you the down low on where you should be putting your money with regards to this fight, if anywhere.

Anyone with betting experience in connection with the UFC knows how unpredictable things can get, in fact, sometimes the fight itself does not take place as one or maybe both fighters drop out last minute. Having said that, if you are smart about your bets, and have a good knowledge about fighters and their fighting styles and what may transpire when one fighter comes up against another, then you actually can make some really good money if you play your cards right.

Taking a closer look at Lawler vs Woodley, we will first have to focus on what the bookkeepers and the sportsbooks think will happen. The current odds are Tyron Woodley 2.5 (-145) + 190 and Robbie Lawler 2.5 (+125) -230.

We have to concur with the sportsbooks when it comes to this fight. There is no two ways about it, because Lawler is expected to successfully defend his UFC Welterweight Championship. Lawler’s precise and lighting quick strikes, immaculate take down defense, and mind boggling resilience may simply prove too much to handle for Tyron Woodley who in his own right is a great defensive fighter and has an impressive record of 15 – 3 – 0, however, Woodley has failed to produce consistently whereas on the other hand, Lawler has proven time and again how good he is and we simply cannot fathom how Woodley could possibly pull one over Lawler come UFC fight night 201.

Does Woodley have something up his sleeve? We will just have to wait and watch, but if you want a safe bet, then Lawler is the way to go.

Las Vegas is where UFC fight night 202 is set to happen and the fans are going to be treated to some intense action especially in the welterweight division especially considering the officially announcement and addition of the fight where Neil Magny will face off Dong Hyun. This fight now becomes the fourth fight where both fighters will weigh in just right around 170 pounds.

Neil Magny has a very impressive record with 18 wins and 4 losses in the MMA and 11 wins and 3 losses in the UFC, while on the other hand, Dong Hyun is no slouch either, Hyun’s record is 21 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw in the MMA and 12 wins and 3 losses in the UFC.

The headline fight of UFC fight night 202 will be the heavily anticipated and marketed fight against Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz which is sure to attract immense attention and views. The McGregor vs Diaz fight also comes under the welterweight division (170 pounds) and will be telecasted live on August 20^th both FOX sports and UFC fight pass on a pay per view basis. The venue for UFC fight night 202 is T – Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The other two fight in the welterweight division are also highly exciting match ups where Donald Cerrone is pitted against Rick Story and Carlos Condit faces off against Demian Maia.

As per the current rakings, Dong Hyun Kim presently holds the tenth rank and Neil Magny is breathing down Kim’s neck sitting at eleventh place. The rankings were released in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA junkie MMA welterweight rankings.

Kim who is also known as Stun Gun has not only back to back stoppage wins, but also six victories in his past seven fights and certainly has no reason to not be confident. Magny’s form has been nrealy flawless as he has won ten of his past 11 fights and is starting to look nearly invincible.

Mark Hunt, who is also known as the Super Samoan is a fighter with some class, for one, unlike most fighters he does not pounce on a knocked out opponent and continue to smash his head in, nor does he make monkey noises and hop around the ring like a crazed man on meth! All he does is turn his back to his opponent and walk away with one fist in the air. He is able to maintain such class because when the Super Samoan lands a blow, his opponent simply will not get back up on his feet.

The Samoan is a giant of a human being and weighs in at almost an astounding 300 pounds. The Super Samoan’s next fight is against none other than the one and only once WWE superstar Brock Lesnar. The fight is scheduled for the 9^th of July in UFC fight night 200 in Las Vegas.

Hunt spoke with media personnel in a recent interview and said that he was thankful to be able to fight Brock Lesnar because he is well aware of the kind of media attraction Brock Lesnar brings with him and this will essentially provide Hunt with a great stage and stoplight to shine in.

Hunts recent form has been on point too. He has won his last two fights convincingly. In both fights, the huge Samoan was able to finish off his opponents right in the very first round. His opponents in these cases were Frank Mir and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, both of whom are respected fighters that have impressive records.

For Brock Lesnar, this will be his first fight in the UFC since his last appearance which was way back in December 30^th, 2011 when he fought and lost to Alistair Overeem at UFC fight night 141.

Lesnar is being thrown right into the action after a five year break so his form maybe questionable and no one is sure how he will perform right off the bat, but what we cannot deny is the media and public attention that he will bring with him.

UFC202 which is scheduled to happen in Las Vegas gets ever more exciting as Carlos Condit Vs Demian Maia becomes the latest addition to the fight card making it yet another high profile welterweight fight to feature in UFC202.

Carlos Condit was the former interim champion and has an impressive record of 30 wins and 9 losses in the MMA and 7 wins to 5 losses in UFC. Condit is just coming out of a title loss in order to face off against an equally matched Demian Maia. Maia has a pretty decent record himself with 23 wins and 6 losses in the MMA and 17 wins and 6 losses in the UFC. Both fighters are expected to weigh in right around the 170 pound mark.

UFC 202 will take place of UFC 202 on August 20 at the T –Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The headline fight for UFC202 will be the heavily anticipated fight where Conor McGregor takes on Nate Diaz. The fight will be televised on both FOX sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass on a pay per view basis.

As per the latest rankings released in the USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie MMA Welterweight rankings, Maia is placed in rank number 7 and Condit occupies rank 9.

Back in January, Condit faced off against Robbie Lawler in UFC 195, but lost by unanimous decision and the fight was termed “Fight of the night”. Prior to UFC 195 Condit actually took the welterweight championship when he beat Nick Diaz in UFC fight night 143.

On the other hand, Maia has been in impeccable form with five straight wins to his name, however, he will have to win against Condit and make it six wins in a row if he is to get a title shot. Prior to his winning run, Maia suffered back to back losses against Jake Shields and Rory MacDonald.
