MMA Pound for Pound Rankings: March 2011
Did Jon Fitch’s performance at UFC 127 drop him in HeavyMMA.com’s latest pound for pound rankings?
1. Anderson Silva
Silva’s playing the waiting game at the moment and won’t have any idea what his future holds until after UFC 129 at the end of April. It might be a few months after that before Silva’s next opponent is even decided, because Georges St. Pierre certainly doesn’t sound too sure about moving up to middleweight any more. Either way, a win by St. Pierre will determine what is next for the reigning middleweight champion.
2. Georges St. Pierre
The Canadian is in the midst of his training camp for UFC 129, putting all of his focus on training for his title defense against Jake Shields. He’ll walk into the cage on that night as a national hero in front of the biggest live crowd in North American mixed martial arts history, but there’s a good chance he loses that fight. Shields is no joke.
3. Jose Aldo
Aldo finally makes the first defense of his UFC featherweight title at UFC 129 against Mark Hominick. Few give Hominick a chance – and for good reason – but the Canadian can probably match Aldo in the striking department. Everything else will probably give him some trouble.

For those of you who’ve never seen Featherweight (145) Jose Aldo fight, you’re in for one huge treat!! This guy is probably unstoppable. You think Jon Jones is good? Think of Jones at 145: Aldo is probably better than that.
I plan on watching UFC 129 mainly to see if and how GSP wins and also I really am looking forward to the Jose Aldo fight… Aldo will make a good impression on UFC fans after this fight.
