UFC rankings, established in 2013, are determined by a media panel who vote for the top fighters in each weight class and a pound-for-pound list. Fighters must be active in the UFC to be eligible for voting. A fighter can be ranked in multiple weight divisions. While champions and interim champions automatically hold the top spot in their weight class and aren't voted on for those rankings, they are eligible for the pound-for-pound rankings.
