Dana White, once again, is not happy with his own UFC rankings panel.
The UFC CEO has had an issue with the rankings panel for several months in regards to Jon Jones not being ranked the top pound-for-pound fighter despite not competing in well over 18 months. Additionally, White slammed his panel for having Max Holloway ranked seven spots behind Justin Gaethje in the lightweight rankings after Holloway knocked out the former interim champ to win the BMF title at UFC 300, and has been pushing for A.I. to take things over.
In the latest ripping of the panel, White used Khalil Rountree being ranked No. 8 after giving Alex Pereira a run for his money at UFC 307 earlier this month before getting knocked out in the fourth round.
Dana White ISN’T happy with the latest UFC rankings update and says he has a meeting this week to try and fix the rankings

“The morons strike again,” White said in an Instagram story. “Khalil Rountree fights that bad ass fight against Pereira, and the morons rank him No. 8 — keep him at No. 8.
“Literally this week, I have a meeting to try to fix the rankings, and get all these no-nothing motherf*ckers out of it. So hopefully this week I get this fixed.”
White will hopefully provide more details on his plans following Tuesday’s DWCS Season 8, Week 10 card.
