Many pound-for-pound rankings have Anderson Silva ranked in first place, Jon Jones in second, and Georges St-Pierre third. After Jose Aldo's knockout over Chad Mendes at UFC 142, Aldo should take GSP's third-place ranking. GSP is a great fighter who has accomplished incredible feats in MMA, including six consecutive title defenses. Despite his great accolades, though, he has not finished an opponent since 2009. I understand he is fighting No. 1 contenders, but so are all the other champions. Silva, Jones and Aldo are still able to finish top contenders in impressive fashion, which is why they are ranked so highly on everyone's pound-for-pound rankings. GSP has awesome talent, but he should not hold Aldo's rightfully earned pound-for-pound spot just because he is GSP.
