While the fight was a closely contested matchup that could've gone either way, no one can take the unanimous decision victory away from Costa. Romero is the only UFC opponent Costa has failed to finish. Costa is undefeated for a good reason going into his first UFC title shot against middleweight king Israel Adesanya in October. 49) Joe Scarnici / Getty Images Sport / GettyĬosta might not be the most technical striker in the UFC, but the Brazilian owns nuclear-powered fists and a chin that withstood three rounds of all-out war with Yoel Romero. Cormier should ultimately be inside the top 10.

This isn't as big of a disservice as Poirier's and Covington's rankings, but Cormier deserves to be ahead of TJ Dillashaw, Max Holloway, Georges St-Pierre, and even featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. Two years ago, he destroyed Volkan Oezdemir, Miocic, and Derrick Lewis for 'Fighter of the Year' honors. Cormier is also a week away from a trilogy bout against him, which could determine the greatest UFC heavyweight of all time.Īs far as we can tell, even though he's planning to retire after UFC 252, 'DC' hasn't fallen off a cliff. Since then, he's lost one fight - to current champion Stipe Miocic, the most accomplished heavyweight in company history. 16) Joe Scarnici / Getty Images Sport / Getty Covington should absolutely be in the game's top 25. 'Chaos' had won seven straight fights entering the Usman clash, a streak that included wins over former champs Robbie Lawler and Rafael dos Anjos, as well as ex-title challenger Demian Maia. If anything, the biggest takeaway from the title bout was that Covington is clearly the second-best 170-pounder in the UFC.

After all, he was extremely competitive against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman in their 'Fight of the Year' candidate last December before getting stopped in the fifth round. You might not agree with everything Covington says or does, but that doesn't mean the former interim champ should be ranked this low. Poirier should be in that range - not near the bottom. 13, and current interim titleholder Justin Gaethje, who's No. Poirier has beaten everyone else put in front of him in recent years, and that includes former featherweight champ Max Holloway, who's No. 'The Diamond' is 6-1 (1 NC) over his past eight bouts, his lone loss coming via submission to current champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. For what it's worth, he deservedly comes in at No. The former interim lightweight champion is legitimately one of the best fighters on the planet despite never having won the undisputed belt.
