June 17 USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA Rankings

BAD MMA News — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:40:00 +0000

Ranking Criteria The rankings take into account a fighter’s wins/losses, quality of competition, finishing rate/dominance and frequency of fights. Fighters are no longer eligible to be ranked after they’ve been inactive for 24 months, either due to injuries, drug/conduct suspensions, contract disputes or self-imposed hiatuses. Fighters serving drug/conduct suspensions are eligible to be ranked, so long as they’re not inactive for more than 24 months. To the best of our ability, fighters will be ranked in their primary weight class. Catchweight fights and bouts outside the fighter’s primary weight class can have a positive or negative impact on the ranking. However, fighters can be ranked in only one weight class at a given time, and in most cases, they won’t be ranked in a new weight class until they’ve had their first fight at that weight. With heavyweight Stipe Miocic and welterweight Josh Burkman each picking up career-boosting victories at this past weekend’s UFC 161 and World Series of Fighting 3 events, respectively, the USA TODAY Sports and MMAjunkie.com MMA rankings saw a shake-up in those divisions.

WINNIPEG – MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was on scene for today’s official fighter weigh-ins for UFC 161, where all 22 competitors made weight for Saturday’s card. In the main event, former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans (17-3-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC) meets former PRIDE champ Dan Henderson (29-9 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in a highly anticipated bout between two likely future UFC Hall of Famers. Evans, who is looking to snap the first losing skid of his career, weighed in at 206 pounds. Henderson, who also is looking for a return to the win column after a split-decision loss to former champ Lyoto Machida in February, was 204. The main card in Winnipeg took some injury hits in the past month, but that opened the door for a heavyweight bout between Roy Nelson (19-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) and Stipe Miocic (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC). Nelson hopes to extend his three-fight win streak – all first-round knockouts, including two bonuses – in the final fight on his current UFC deal. He was 260, while Miocic came in at 243
