Undisputed #1 Dominick Cruz will attempt to defend his title and avenge a loss when he locks horns with #4 Urijah Faber at UFC 132.
That card will also feature #3 Brian Bowles taking on #7 Takeya Mizugaki in a bout that should be a good bit less competitive than their rankings would suggest.
#5 Miguel Torres will face natural flyweight #9 Demetrious Johnson at UFC 130 following an injury to his original opponent #8 Brad Pickett.
#6 Scott Jorgensen is still waiting to make his UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale against Ken Stone.
Based on the premise that all MMA rankings are subjective but that it’s still useful and informative to know who the online MMA community as a whole ranks as the best fighters in MMA, we collect and average the rankings of the top MMA websites to produce our consensus rankings. We compile the top MMA rankings from each of our sources and award 25 points for a first place ranking, 16 for a 10th place ranking, 1 for a 25th place ranking. A formula is used to "normalize" the data so all fighters are awarded points from those lists that do not include a full 25 fighters. This formula ensures that each ranking site awards the same number of total points regardless of how many fighters they choose to rank. Each fighter’s total is divided by the number of possible points to determine their standing in the Consensus Rankings.
