UFC Pulls Jon Jones, Lyoto Machida & Brock Lesnar From Official Rankings

Well, we can officially erase Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar from the official UFC rankings.

Jones and Lesnar, both of whom failed their USADA tests leading up to UFC 200 last month, were pulled from the official rankings when the promotion updated the lists for each weight class on Monday.

Jones, who sat at number one as the interim UFC Light Heavyweight Champion in the 205-pound division, and was also ranked in the always popular “Pound-For-Pound” list, is no longer featured in either category.

Likewise for part-time WWE Superstar and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar in the Heavyweight division. Lesnar landed at number eight in the official UFC Heavyweight rankings after his victory over Mark Hunt at UFC 200, despite the fact that it was his first and only fight in the past five years.

Additionally, former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Lyoto Machida, who was a ranked contender in the UFC Middleweight (185-pound) division, has also been pulled due to USADA issues.
