00:00A couple fantastic showings at UFC 317, but was it enough for Tapuria and Pantoja to move up
00:06the rankings? Let's find out as we unveil the updated UFC pound-for-pound rankings on the men's
00:12side. UFC 317 felt like a big night for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and a very big
00:26night for a couple of their fighters. Was it big enough to get him to number one on the list? Let's
00:31find out. We have a new number 10 on the pound-for-pound rankings, as Jack Della Maddalena
00:36makes his way on. Jon Jones was pulled off, finally, thank God. So we now have Jack Della
00:43Maddalena. I think the welterweight champion deserves to be on the list, even if the resume
00:47doesn't necessarily scream pound-for-pound greatness for JDM. At number nine, it is Magomed
00:55Ankulayev staying put at that spot. At number eight, Pehera drops here, as the former middleweight
01:03and light heavyweight champion has been leapfrogged. I wonder by who? Same thing goes for number
01:08seven, as Alex Volkanovski has dropped down to the number seven spot, because Alessandra
01:14Pantoja is still undeniable. He moves up after, moves up a couple of spots, sorry, after a dominant
01:21win. When we are talking about you in the same air as Demetrius Johnson, you should be knocking
01:25on the door of a top five spot. Hey, before we get to the top five, just a reminder, make
01:32sure if you are watching, you hit that subscribe button, and hit the notification bell, so you
01:37know when new videos are coming from Couch Potato Diary. Coming in at number five, it is
01:43Tom Aspinall. I do not hold the heavyweight drama against him in the slightest. This guy has
01:47been knocking out contender after contender after contender, and he is now the undisputed heavyweight
01:52champion of the world, so he comes in in the top five. At number four, it is Murav Dvalishvili.
01:57Um, a few dominant performances in a row. It took me probably too long to move him into the top five,
02:02so he's gonna stick around here. Maybe even if it's too long. At three, it is Drikas Duplassik,
02:06and you need to see something from him soon before we start having people leapfrog him. At number two,
02:12Islam Makashev. Uh, could get his number one spot back if he wins the championship at 170 pounds,
02:17but for now, he had to take a step back, because there is a new number one in the pound-for-pound
02:23rankings in the UFC, and his name is Ilya Teporia. Wins a second belt with a brilliant performance,
02:30and really showcases that this guy could be the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
02:35Pretty as it is. He could be the face of the UFC. If Makashev wins at 170, this probably changes again,
02:41but for now, there is no argument that Ilya Teporia is number one on the UFC men's pound-for-pound
02:49rankings. What do you think? Um, I can't imagine I went 10-for-10 on your thoughts there. Who did I
02:53leave out? Who was too high? Who was too low? Let me know if you're watching live in the chat,
