If you’re looking for changes to the latest fighter rankings, take a peak at the welterweight rankings and then look no further. The slow month really kept things the same but the lone UFC event in March did reshuffle the ranks of the welterweight division.

This past month saw some exciting MMA action and some not so well, but as a whole the month of February produced several meaningful bouts to MMA Rankings. Champions Renan Barao and Eduardo Dantas made successful title defenses this month and Alexander Shlemenko was crowned the new Bellator middleweight champion.

The Ultimate Fighter 17 is just getting started as the reality shows fourth episode is set to air tomorrow, but the season finale set to take place on April 14th in Las Vegas is starting to take shape. The UFC announced five bouts today and the early indications are pointing to the TUF 17 finale being the most stacked card in the show history.

Last month the MMA Rankings didn't move much but the last couple weeks have influenced the ranks significantly. This month’s MMA rankings now include the top five-pound for pound fighters as well a slightly new look and feel.

The saying goes "You're not the champion until you defend the title", and after his bout with John Dodson, "Mighty Mouse" Demetrious Johnson was finally the champion. Having perhaps the highest fight IQ in the game, an amazing ability to morph his style mid-fight and being an absolute sponge for techniques in the gym, DJ will improve time after time he steps into the cage.

If the FOX executives had a thing against blood then they really didn't like tonight’s UFC on FOX 6. Nasty Elbows turned unlucky fighters into a bloody mess that would have made any horror movie director proud. It was the flyweights that headlined UFC on FOX 6 but the featherweights and lightweights stole the show.

It seems like these FOX cards have been getting special treatment as yet again Saturday’s UFC on FOX 6 looks stacked. Headlining the card will be the flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson as he makes his first title defense against The Ultimate Fighter winner John Dodson.

The UFC on Fox series has been heating up with their stacked television cards and this weekend’s UFC on FOX 6 is no exception to the rule. We have the first defense of the Flyweight title on hand for our main event, as champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson takes on TUF 14 winner John Dodson, who will look to be the third TUF winner to take a title in the UFC.
