Notable Info
- It’s now 100% clear that the old “Cro Cop” is gone and that Junior dos Santos is certainly for real. Having already had dos Santos at #6, he gains only one spot. Mirko on the other hand, falls all the way to #23.
- At the unofficial division that is 195, Vitor Belfort annihilated Rich Franklin and moves into the Light Heavyweight rankings at #6.
- Josh Koscheck regains the legitimacy he lost at the hands of Paulo Thiago with a dominant victory over Frank Trigg. He rises up to #4 in the division. Also at Welterweight, Paul Daley pulls off the upset and moves to #11, while Mike Pierce does the same and now sits at #15.
- Tyson Griffin and Nate Diaz each improve their standing in the UFC’s Lightweight division by moving up 10, and 20 spots respectively. There was also a ton of movement by other Lightweights as a result of the past week’s results.
- Relative unknown Jared McMahan loses his top 15 spot at Bantamweight to an even more unknown, Yusup Saduliev. As a result of this loss and McMahan’s lack of quality opposition, he drops completely out of the Top 50.
