Bleeding Cool's UFC Fighter Rankings For May 2021: Usman Is The Man

Welcome to the first Bleeding Cool UFC fighter rankings! We are fans around these parts, as you may have noticed since we have started posting more about the leading MMA brand on the planet more and more recently. So we thought: why not post our own fighter rankings? Every other site that covers MMA and the UFC does it, so why not us? We will try to do this every six weeks or so, that way we get a little more movement than monthly or weekly rankings based on multiple events taking place. Every weight class for both men and women and a pound for pound list follow, so check them out below and tell us how wrong we are!
