Video: Ranking UFC's 10 two-division champions from best to worst
There aren't many truly exclusive clubs in the UFC after more than 30 years of existence, but the double champ club remains one of them. More than 100 different fighters have had a UFC title wrapped around their waist over the course of UFC history. That's difficult enough to do in itself, but the list gets significantly shaved down when separating those who went on to capture a belt in a second division. Advertisement Only Randy Couture, B.J. Penn, Conor McGregor, Amanda Nunes, Georges St-Pierre, Daniel Cormier, Henry Cejudo, Alex Pereira, Jon Jones and, most recently, Ilia Topuria, have budged their way into the two-division champion list, and each have forged their own path to getting there. After claiming two of those belts in a three-fight stretch with knockout of Alexander Volkanovski and Charles Oliveira, some have argued Topuria's rise and in-cage performances are the most impressive of the group. Others argue he still has more work to do to entrench himself in the position like others who defended titles in multiple divisions. It makes ranking the 10 double champions a tricky task, but that's what former UFC and Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez and MMA Junkie senior reporter Mike Bohn attempted to do. Check out "The Bohnfire" podcast in the video above where Alvarez and Bohn rank all the UFC two-division champions with their individual criteria.

This week's panel of Brian "Goze" Garcia, Mike Bohn and Danny Segura will join host "Gorgeous" George Garcia live at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics: Advertisement We start off the show with a recap of what happened (and didn't happen) Saturday at UFC on ESPN 68. Most notably, we'll discuss the bizarre, last-minute cancellation of the main event women's flyweight bout between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber. According to the UFC, Barber wasn't allowed to fight due to medical issues, thus canceling her fight literally when she was supposed to walk to the octagon. We'll take a look at the good and the bad major headlines this past week. From UFC legend B.J. Penn's multiple arrests, to Noche UFC moving from Guadalajara to San Antonio and some recent bookings, we react to it all. We preview all the action at UFC 316, which goes down Saturday in Newark, N.J. Can Sean O'Malley settle the score with bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili? Will Kayla Harrison take the women's bantamweight title from Julianna Peña and lure Amanda Nunes out of retirement? We break it all down.
