JAKATA - The year 2022 has lifted Alexander Volkanovski to the top of the UFC pound-for-pound ranking following his win over Jung Chansung.
However, there are some fighters - maybe three if you count Leon Edwards - who interferes with 'The Great' fame. Who are they?
First, there is Islam Makhachev who is 31 years old. The fighter, who has just started power in this lightweight, could be a competitor to Volkanovski in the future.
Makhachev's crushing victory over Charles Oliveira has made him one of the brightest UFC stars.
The fight confirms everything we know about a new champions from Russia, a fighter who controls all aspects of the fight against established stars such as 'Domen' and beat them with technique.
He knew how to wait until the opportunity came.
Then there is the 35-year-old Alex Pereira, who was signed by the UFC to exploit his rivalry with his Israeli village from the days of their kickboxing.
The Brazilian fighter defeated the 'The Last Stylender' where the fight had to be stopped early to avoid further damage to the former champion.
His village was unable to take advantage of the fight he was in control, where his 'Poat' made him tired of a hard shot and ended it with a spate of punches.
Now, let's see who can stop the new middleweight king, a tough striker with heavy hands.
Those are the two new UFC stars given to us in 2022.
