EA Sports UFC 2: 10 Highest Rated Pound-For-Pound Fighters

1. Jon Jones (95)

A genuine animal. As well as being an outstanding wrestler in his younger years, Jon Jones also played American Football, though his preference always lay with the former. The American decided to drop out of college to pursue a career in MMA - a decision he undoubtedly does not regret. EA Sports rank Jones as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC roster. The Light-Heavyweight has lost only once (by way of disqualification), with 21 wins also on his MMA record. His trademark back-elbows often cause opponents serious issues - though it was the illegal use of those very elbows that got him disqualified versus Matt Hamill back in 2009. Moving forward a couple of years from that particular loss, the champion had defended his UFC Light-Heavyweight crown on eight occasions before he was stripped in 2015 following a hit-and-run incident. That has since been amended, and following being stripped of his title and undergoing a fairly brief suspension, Jones will be making his comeback to the sport at UFC 197 - where he will once again face Daniel Cormier in a blockbuster showdown. Should he prevail, there can be little doubt he is still the pound-for-pound king, and the finest UFC fighter on the planet.
