UFC Champion Islam Makhachev unfairly occupies the first line of the organization’s ranking, regardless of weight categories. This opinion was shared with by fighter Artem Rofal, representing the team Alexandra Shlemenko .
UFC lightweight champion Makhachev topped the promotion’s pound-for-pound (P4P) rankings on Tuesday, surpassing Jon Jones.
— Makhachev, in my opinion, unfairly occupies the first place in the P4P. With all due respect to the merits of Islam, which I respect very much as a fighter and a person, there is a figure in world MMA like Jon Jones. Jones is the youngest UFC champion, he beat the strongest fighters of that time, legends of the sport and still remains at the top. Champion in two weight categories. Islam has a great chance of being an objective leader of P4P, but at the moment I do not agree with that,” Rofal told .
Makhachev, 32, moved from second place to first in the rankings, ahead of American Jones. Then come respectively the Australian Alex Volkanovski, the British Leon Edwards and the Brazilian Charles Oliveira.
