By: Sherdog.com Staff It has been a year of volatility at the championship level in mixed martial arts. The topsy-turvy nature of 2016 has seen seven new UFC champions minted in just seven months of action, which is exactly the sort of chaos powerful enough to reshape the Sherdog.com pound-for-pound rankings.

“I’ve already spoken to the lineal champion, the No. 1 welterweight, the pound-for-pound one of the greatest in the sport. His interest is fighting me,” Woodley said. “Georges St-Pierre wants to fight me. And guess what? I want to fight him. There’s honor in it. If I’m going to put it on the line, risk it, I want to know that I at least had the opportunity to prove to myself that I am the best welterweight to ever grace the damn Octagon, and if he’s going to give me that chance, I can give a hell less.”

In division after division, promising champions have fallen. Chaos has been the order of the day, and many have lamented the trend because it’s hard for star attractions to rise up in a sport increasingly defined by parity. It’s true that superstars are the lifeblood of an individual sport like MMA and that it’s hard for any fighter to stand out to the general public when championships flip back and forth so quickly. However, there are pros and cons to any trend, and a smart promoter recognizes how best to capitalize on a changing landscape. The current trend of frequent title changes and deep divisions of evenly matched contenders lends itself to an exciting concept the UFC has not yet attempted: the first ever UFC grand prix tournament.

Cheap Seats: UFC 201 Reaction, What's Next For Tyron Woodley?

Mixed martial artists come from every corner of the globe, bearing a variety of styles. Sometimes, fighters are products of their environment, favoring disciplines prevalent in the country or state from which they hail. Various regions of the United States are considered factories for great fighters, though that certainly is not the case with each state. In this weekly Sherdog.com series, the spotlight will shine on the best mixed martial artist of all-time from each of the 50 states. Fighters do not necessarily need to be born in a given state to represent it; they simply need to be associated with it. *** When Sean Sherk was at his best, few could match him. The stocky wrestler from St. Francis, Minnesota, used his combination of pure physical strength, stellar conditioning and time-tested technique to remain unbeaten (19-0-1) through his first 20 pro bouts before challenging Matt Hughes for the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title in 2003. Sherk came up short against Hughes at UFC 42, but “The Muscle Shark” was well on his way to a terrific career in mixed martial arts.

It used to be a big deal when these rankings were updated to reveal a new fighter sitting atop his or her division. With all due respect to Tyron Woodley and his conquering the welterweight throne, his destruction of Robbie Lawler at UFC 201 in Atlanta was just another episode in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s tumultuous 2016. First it was Dominick Cruz and then Miesha Tate . Next came Stipe Miocic , and then Michael Bisping shocked the world. Eddie Alvarez followed, but the MMA world could hardly even celebrate his 155-pound title win, as Amanda Nunes took Tate’s 135-pound women’s championship just two days later at UFC 200. Now, Woodley is the boss at 170 pounds. To recap, that is seven new UFC champions and seven new divisional leaders in just seven months. If Jon Jones has his United States Anti-Doping Agency suspension upheld later this year, he will be removed from this list, as well, giving us an eighth new No. 1 in 2016. It has been a year of heavy flux, to say the very least. Speaking of USADA, a two-year suspension for formerly fifth-ranked featherweight Chad Mendes sees his removal from the Sherdog.

Bellator MMA is a leading Mixed Martial Arts organization featuring many of the best fighters in the world. Under the direction of veteran fight promoter Scott Coker, Bellator is available to nearly 500 million homes worldwide in over 140 countries. In the United States, Bellator can be seen on Spike, the MMA television leader.  Bellator MMA is comprised of an executive team that includes top industry professionals in television production, live event orchestration, fighter development/relations, venue procurement, sponsorship creation/development, international licensing, marketing, advertising, publicity and commission relations.  Bellator is based in Santa Monica, California and owned by entertainment giant Viacom, home to the world's premier entertainment brands that connect with audiences through compelling content across television, motion picture, online and mobile platforms.

The benchmark by which all 125-pound fighters past and present are judged, Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight titleholder Demetrious Johnson has turned away one would-be successor after another since he rose to the top four years ago. Johnson will celebrate his 30th birthday on Aug. 13. “Mighty Mouse” captured the inaugural flyweight crown at UFC 152 on Sept. 12, 2012 with a split decision over Joseph Benavidez and has looked nothing short of unstoppable as champion. On a 10-fight winning streak, Johnson last competed at UFC 197 in April, when he cut down 2008 Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo with first-round knees at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Others who have been victimized by the AMC Pankration rep during his historic reign: John Dodson (twice), John Moraga , Kyoji Horiguchi , Chris Cariaso and Ali Bagautinov . Johnson -- who withdrew from a schedule battle with Wilson Reis at UFC 201 due to injury -- will next defend his flyweight title against the winner of “The Ultimate Fighter 24” in December.

“These are exciting times for Asian MMA,” ONE Championship CEO Victor Cui stated. “As ONE Championship continues to push the envelope in sports entertainment across the region, delivering to fans world-class mixed martial arts action, Jakarta is once again set for another explosive evening of fights. In a truly international fight experience, Brazil takes on Kazakhstan as Luis Santos faces the toughest test of his career against the heavy-handed Igor Svirid.”

Yair Rodriguez has inspired belief among the oddsmakers. Rodriguez according to BetDSI.com has been installed as a healthy -300 favorite ahead of his clash with Alex Caceres (+250) in the UFC Fight Night 92 main event on Saturday at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City. Dennis Bermudez (-210) will face Rony Mariano Bezerra (+180) in the featherweight co-headliner. A Chicago-based taekwondo black belt who has spent time training at the powerhouse Jackson-Wink MMA camp in New Mexico, Rodriguez will enter the cage on the strength of a six-fight winning streak. The 23-year-old burst on the scene in 2014, winning “The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America.” Rodriguez last fought at UFC 197 on April 23, when he knocked out Andre Fili with a second-round head kick at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Spawned by Season 12 of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series, Caceres now operates out of the MMA Lab in Glendale, Arizona, where he trains under John Crouch. The 28-year-old has followed a three-fight losing streak with back-to-back wins over Masio Fullen and Cole Miller .

Prior to that, it seemed like no division was safe. Starting with Holly Holm ’s win over Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, every division except light heavyweight, flyweight and women’s strawweight has seen varying degrees of championship reshuffling. Conor McGregor dethroned longtime featherweight king Jose Aldo ; Dominick Cruz reclaimed his bantamweight title from reigning champ T.J. Dillashaw ; Stipe Miocic shocked undisputed heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum in Brazil; Michael Bisping upset Luke Rockhold in spectacular fashion; and Eddie Alvarez put a beatdown on Rafael dos Anjos . Now, Tyron Woodley can add his name to that list. The only three divisions not affected by this have basically been held steady by all-time talents -- Joanna Jedrzejczyk , Demetrious Johnson and, with all due respect to Daniel Cormier , Jon Jones .

Dias will try to get back in the win column after a unanimous decision loss to Cub Swanson in April at UFC on FOX 19 in Florida. That setback snapped a two-fight winning streak of decisions over Darren Elkins and Levan Makashvili. All six of the Brazilian’s fights in the UFC have gone the distance.

McGregor sat just a few feet away from a tragic fight in his native Ireland in April when his teammate Charlie Ward defeated Joao Carvalho with a vicious third-round TKO. Carvalho was rushed to the hospital after the fight and died from his injuries two days later.

Following an impressive win over Frankie Edgar to capture the interim title at UFC 200, Aldo is just waiting for McGregor to finish his business with the non-title welterweight fight with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 so that he can get back in the Octagon with McGregor.

"It's starting to get that way, it's starting to get that feeling," Thompson said when asked if Woodley was running from him. "At first, I didn't think so, I thought he just wanted the big payday, the big money, but when I go back and look at the facts -- the fact is I'm on a seven-fight winning streak. He was ranked No. 4 and they gave him the title shot. I've cleaned out the division for him. It just doesn't make sense why he wouldn't face me, at least one time against the No. 1 contender without having to go out and pick these guys who haven't fought.

This podcast has jumped to the top of my UFC/MMA podcast list - but c'mon, once a week?. I really feel like Brendan and Bryan should be able to do at least 2 eps a week, or maybe 2 hours a pop - I mean, what else do these guys have to do during the day? Brendan habitually mispronouncing every major UFC fighter's name on the roster is a nice touch, too. I also want to hear more about Bryan's mad greco skills. I think he should do each episode shirtless.

Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by BloodyElbow.com's John Nash . Ahead of Nash's forthcoming series of articles for BloodyElbow analyzing recently disclosed purses in both MMA and boxing, he and Breen discuss his findings after comparing reported paydays in California, Florida and Nevada last year, the impact Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have on the average boxing purse, the curious way in which the UFC inflates mid-tier fighter salaries against market value and what impact the Muhammad Ali Act would have on the politics of fighter pay if adopted for MMA. Breen and Nash also talk about the concept of competition between promoters in both MMA and boxing, the surprising fact that the UFC's ostensible competition aren't actually competing against the industry leader the way that people think and how boxing's plethora of sanctioning bodies and proliferation of “world titles” actually helps boxers make big bank. Grab your credential and get a seat in “Press Row.

As someone who was considered undeserving of a title shot, Woodley adds his name to a growing list of underdogs who have emphatically proved the naysayers wrong. Does this recent string of title changes and unpredictability bode well for the UFC in the long run? Sure, it’s fun to see that anybody can beat a world champion on any given night; and that hasn’t been clearer than in the past year, as world champions have fallen at a frightening rate against opponents that few thought could usurp them. However, is there any such thing as an “upset” anymore considering how frequently titles have been changing hands? Do the titles mean much of anything anymore considering that nobody can hang on to them long enough to establish themselves as true champions? What we love about mixed martial arts can also be its biggest detriment: unpredictability.

We're channeling the late 80's, early 90's complete with stunner shades and geometric patterns abound for Mike Tyson's , "Thuns out, Guns out" limited edition tee.

In an effort to bring more attention to the global stage of mixed martial arts, this list does not focus on major North American-based promotions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Bellator MMA and the World Series of Fighting. *** Gesias Cavalcante ’s best days may be behind him, but if recent results are any indication, he still has plenty left in the tank. Cavalcante will defend the Titan Fighting Championship lightweight crown against surging Ascension MMA export Freddy Assuncao in the Titan 40 main event on Aug. 5 at the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Florida. UFC Fight Pass will provide coverage of the event. A two-time K-1 Hero’s grand prix winner, Cavalcante has registered back-to-back wins for the first time since 2007. The 33-year-old Blackzilians rep returned from close to a two-year layoff on June 10, as he captured the Titan lightweight title with a stunning first-round knockout against Pat Healy . Wins over Vitor Ribeiro , Rani Yahya , Caol Uno , Katsunori Kikuno , Bobby Green and Tyson Griffin anchor the Cavalcante resume.

A committee of regulators, fighters and referees put in hours and hours of work to come up with a list of modifications to the Unified Rules of MMA and those proposals were whittled down to a smaller set of changes by the medical advisory committee, comprised of some of the top ringside physicians in the country. These changes were set to be voted on Tuesday in Las Vegas. It seemed like a simple task but if I’ve learned anything over the last seven years I’ve been attending the ABC's annual conference, it's that whenever you get a bunch of regulators in one room, be prepared for the unexpected. When the voting members were asked if they were ready to call for a motion, California's Executive Officer Andy Foster asked for a 10-minute recess.

"I think that's the essence of this whole thing is just peer-to-peer counseling where the whole premise behind AHero is you take guys who are having a difficult time and dealing with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and all these other injuries and you put them with their peers so they can start to heal each other and you put them in a fun environment where it's easier to open up," McMahon told FOX Sports when speaking about the latest outing.  "That's why we figured something like fishing and having a UFC fighter would help create that atmosphere."

The UFC returns to Texas next month – but into a new territory on the U.S.-Mexico border – and a pair of lightweight standouts are at the top of the bill.

"I was like this would be a good time for me start talking some trash and got fired up," Davis told FOX Sports after watching Nunes win the title. "My coaches were like 'simmer down, just relax'. Just seeing that fight and obviously people advance and she's switched camps since then and I've switched camps since then, but if the UFC called me tonight and said 'hey do you want that fight?'. I'd say yes, you tell me when to be ready."

To say Tyron Woodley ’s knockout of Robbie Lawler was impressive would be a gross understatement. Woodley showed no fear of Lawler’s vaunted power and instead matched him with some of his own, icing the “Ruthless” one in the first round to capture the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight crown in the UFC 201 main event on Saturday at Philips Arena in Atlanta. The music to which “The Chosen One” walked to the Octagon could not have been more fitting. A two-time NCAA All-American wrestler at the University of Missouri, Woodley strolled out to Thi’sl’s “King Without a Crown” ahead of the most important fight of his career. Lawler, meanwhile, opted to go with customary Sam and Dave classic “Hold on (I’m Coming)” in his ill-fated title defense. A few metal tracks stood out during the event, along with some hip-hop classics. American Top Team ’s Michael Graves chose White Zombie’s underrated “Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks, Cannibal Girls” while Damian Grabowski turned to Sabaton’s “40:1” to find inspiration; and the Notorious B.

Nunes became champion when she steamrolled Miesha Tate with a first round rear naked choke at UFC 200 and now she's targeting Rousey as her next opponent as she looks to legitimize her title reign as the best women's fighter in the UFC bantamweight division.
