Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is now featuring "official" rankings on its website, UFC.com, covering all eight weight classes plus a pound-for-pound list. But how does the world's largest mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion (in conjunction with FightMetric) compile its list?

I'll let them explain:

Rankings were generated by a voting panel made up of media members. The media members were asked to vote for who they feel are the top fighters in the UFC by weight-class and pound-for-pound. A fighter is only eligible to be voted on if they are in active status in the UFC and a fighter can only appear in one weight division at a time. The champion and interim champion are considered to be in the top positions of their respective divisions and therefore are not eligible for voting by weight-class. However, the champions can be voted on for the pound-for-pound rankings.

See what all the fuss is about here.

Below are the UFC.com rankings, yes, the same rankings that nearly broke Twitter when it was released earlier this week. Why all the hub-bub? Well, see for yourself.

See anything else that stands out?
