Dominick Reyes enters the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s pound-for-pound rankings for the first time, following his controversial UFC 247 showdown with Jon Jones.
The light heavyweight contender saw his winning streak came to a halt on Saturday night as he suffered a close decision loss to the Jackson Wink fighter after a cardiac five-round contest.
While his impressive performance was not enough to secure a UFC gold, it earned him a spot in the updated P4P list released by the promotion on Wednesday.
Here’s how the rankings were determined (per UFC.com):
“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. 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.”
