Khalil Rountree Jr. cracks Top 5 in UFC Baku rankings update, retired Jon Jones scrubbed from leaderboard

The Jon Jones pound-for-pound debate is finally over.

With “Bones” retired, the promotion was forced to reshuffle the heavyweight and pound-for-pound rankings in this week’s official rankings update. In addition, Khalil Rountree Jr. cracked the Top 5 at 205 pounds after knocking around Jamahal Hill in the UFC Baku main event last weekend on ABC.

Here’s how the rankings are compiled, at least until AI takes over:

Rankings are 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. A fighter can appear in more than 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.

Take a look at what the latest rankings field looks like courtesy of UFC.com. Note: (+/- = movement in rankings, T = tie, *NR = Not previously ranked).
