EA Sports recently released more information on the best rated fighters in the game. So without further ado, let's look at all the Men's fighters in UFC 5, and see who ranks among the best.

UFC 5 Top Rated Welterweight Fighters

With 9 cumulative title defenses and three different reigns, Georges St. Pierre stands as one of the best MMA fighters in history. His legacy character leads the pack with the only 5 star rating in his division. Right below him stands Leon Edwards, the current UFC Welterweight Champion. As of writing this article, Edwards ranks #4 in the UFC men's pound-for-pound rankings. Had UFC 5 been released just one year ago, we might be seeing Kamaru Usman take the #2 spot here. However, after suffering two consecutive losses to Edwards, Usman moved down to the third spot.
