Updated Fighter Rankings (12/1/13)

Woodley, Koscheck, and the entire welterweight
division had a big shakeup after UFC 167.

I am currently working on an article to tell you all just why I have Jose Aldo #1 on the pound for pound rankings.  As for now, just enjoy the number in which I have all of your favorite MMA fighters ranked.  There actually is a method to my madness, even though sometimes it just seems like I chaotically change rankings.  November update:
