Longest unbroken runs in the UFC rankings

What counts. A run of consecutive PUBLISHED tables. A week the UFC published nothing does not end a run — there was no table for anybody to be left out of — and it is not counted either; the row says how many such weeks it spans. Each division is counted separately, so a fighter who moved up has a run in each. Pound-for-pound weeks are not counted. There is no pound-for-pound belt and the table is a cross-division list, so adding a fighter’s pound-for-pound weeks to the same fighter’s weight-division weeks would count the same Tuesday twice. 1 ranked name is left out entirely — Bruno Silva is shared by two different fighters our source roster cannot tell apart, so any career total under it would be two people's added together. That page is withheld for the same reason. Ties. 4 of the rows below share the same 309 weeks on the published tables. Where two bouts share a value the older one is listed first — the first fight to reach a mark is the one that reached it. Where it comes from. Every number on this page is counted from the official UFC rankings tables themselves — the same tables the division pages let you slide back through, one week at a time, so any row here can be checked against the week it came from. A week is one published table: the UFC has missed weeks, and nothing here fills them in. Each name links that fighter’s own page; a ranked fighter we hold no page for is printed as plain text rather than dropped from the count. Slide back through the tables yourself on any division page.
