Colby Covington sits at No. 1 in Real American Freestyle’s first crossover pound-for-pound rankings.
RAF released the rankings on Monday. Covington, the RAF cruiserweight crossover champion, is 5-0 in the promotion. His wins include Arman Tsarukyan, Dillon Danis and former UFC champions Belal Muhammad, Chris Weidman and Luke Rockhold.
Henry Cejudo is No. 2 with a 2-1 record. The RAF lightweight crossover champion won the belt by pinning Merab Dvalishvili in 36 seconds at RAF 12 in August.
Tsarukyan, who is 7-1 in RAF, is No. 3. Khamzat Chimaev and Dvalishvili round out the top five.
