Conor McGregor Has Taken A Major Leap Up The UFC Pound-For-Pound Rankings

Conor McGregor said at the UFC 194 post-fight press conference that he views himself at the best pound-for-pound fighter in the promotion.

Not everyone sees it that way though. Most importantly, the majority of those who vote for the rankings.

The list has been updated following three consecutive days of events.

UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson is now rated as the best overall fighter in the UFC.

However, while he is not at number one, McGregor has made a big jump up the table. He is now graded as the third best, pound-for-pound, in MMA's premier promotion, up nine places from his previous ranking.

Luke Rockhold, who won the middleweight title in Saturday's co-main event, is a new entrant at number nine.

Interestingly, lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos, who McGregor could face in his next fight should he make the move to 155, drops one place to number ten.
