Updated Fighter Rankings (8-1-13)

Jose Aldo is the new pound for pound king in my books

I was partially joking when I said I did the last fighter rankings before UFC 162 so Silva could be on top at least 1 more time, just in case Weidman beat him.  Now that Silva lost, what is going to happen to the top of the pound for pound list?  Well Jose Aldo fights on Saturday, so he will get at least a week on top as the pound for pound king of the Brutal Sports rankings!  Here is how I rank the top 10 fighters in each weight class following UFC 162 and UFC on Fox 8:
