Fedor Emelianenko might be on many top-ranking fighter lists, but UFC President Dana White does not see it that way. According to White, Emelianenko is not anywhere near the top.

"First of all, for him to even be in the top heavyweights is insane," White told The Daily Line. "This guy hasn't fought anybody since the late '90s. In the UFC, these guys consistently fight the best three times a year."

In the past, White has tried to sign Emelianenko to the UFC, but has been unsuccessful. With Emelianenko currently fighting in Strikeforce, White said that he has not been able to test himself against the best fighters in the division. While the Russian fighter currently holds a record of 32-1, 1 NC, he has not fought anybody at the height of their career with the exception of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Mirko Filipovic.

"He hasn't fought Brock Lesnar," said White. "He hasn't fought Shane Carwin. He hasn't fought even Frank Mir or any of the top heavyweights. You've got dos Santos out there now. There are so many guys out there that nasty in that heavyweight division."

So who does White rank as his top five pound-for-pound fighters in the world? Despite the recent controversy at UFC 112, Anderson Silva still earns the top spot. Next up is UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre, followed by UFC  lightweights B.J. Penn and Frankie Edgar. The last spot was given to WEC featherweight Jose Aldo.
