UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo recently spoke about the fighters he considers the greatest of all time. His top pick: former Pride heavyweight champ Fedor Emelianenko. Aldo then ranks Royce Gracie as No. 2, Chuck Liddell as No. 3, and behind the “Iceman,” none other than former UFC middleweight king Anderson Silva.

Do you agree with Aldo’s pound-for-pound list?

The UFC published their official rankings on Monday, the first time the promotion has done so in their near-20-year history.

Rankings included those in every men’s UFC weight class from flyweight up to heavyweight. Additionally, a pound-for-pound list was voted on with middleweight champion Anderson Silva taking the top place on that list.

Notably, no women’s rankings were included in the post, and UFC officials told GRACIEMAG.com on Monday there is no current timeframe to add a women’s list. UFC women’s champion Ronda Rousey and No. 1 contender Liz Carmouche will be the first females to compete in the octagon later this month at UFC 157.
