Following on from this past weekend's memorable UFC 261 event, which featured Kamaru Usman's impressive fourth title defence, GiveMeSport have decided to rank the top 15 greatest P4P fighters in UFC at the moment.

Looking at both the male and female division, we have dived into what the combined pound-for-pound top 15 list could look if it were to ever be announced.

As is the norm, UFC announce their P4P rankings in separate divisions, keeping the men's rankings and women's rankings separate.

However, we have decided to compile a combined list after UFC 261, so, without further ado, let's get going.

15. Petr Yan

First up is Petr ‘No Mercy’ Yan from the bantamweight division, who currently has an impressive 15 wins and just two losses in his career to date. Yan turned pro in 2014 and initially started training as a boxer before making the switch to MMA. The Russian did lose his most recent bout to Aljamain Sterling, however, as he was adjudged to have used an illegal knee strike.

14. Aljamain Sterling

‘The Funk Master’ is the UFC bantamweight champion and is on a five-fight winning streak. His current record stands at 20 victories and three defeats.

13. Stipe Miocic

The 38-year-old heavyweight is currently serving a two-month medical suspension following his most recent defeat to Francis Ngannou at UFC 260 in March. Nevertheless, the former heavyweight champion still boasts an impressive record in the division of 20 wins and four losses.

12. Robert Whittaker

The New Zealand born fighter, otherwise known as ‘The Reaper’, has been a pro fighter since 2009. Since losing his middleweight crown to Israel Adesanya in 2019, he has managed three consecutive victories against Darren Till, Jared Cannonier and Kelvin Gastelum to put himself back in the title picture.

11. Max Holloway

Featherweight Max ‘Blessed’ Holloway is next on the list. Earlier this year Holloway secured an impressive victory over Calvin Kattar. The American has previously been a featherweight champion and managed to successfully defend his title on three occasions before losing to Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 245.

10. Jan Blachowicz

Entering the top 10 is Poland’s light heavyweight Jan Blachowicz. Blachowicz is currently on an impressive five-fight winning streak, most recently defeating Israel Adesanya. He is next set to face Glover Teixeira at UFC 266.

9. Deiveson Figueiredo

The Brazilian flyweight is on the list. Deiveson Figueiredo has lost just once in his 22 bouts to date in UFC. That loss came against Jussier Formiga back in 2019. He is next due to appear on UFC 263 fight card and is up against Brandon Moreno.

8. Dustin Poirier

7. Valentina Shevchenko

The women’s flyweight champion, ‘Bullet’ has an impressive 20 victories and three losses in her UFC career. The Russian is coming off arguably her best performance to date by defeating Jessica Andrade via second-round TKO.
