Shane Burgos enjoyed his 15-minute classic with Josh Emmett this past weekend, but where he now sits in the divisional rankings is another story.
The featherweight bout took place in the co-main event of UFC on ESPN 11 and earned “Fight of the Night” honors (which was no surprise to anyone who watched it). Emmett—despite a litany of injuries including a completely torn ACL—earned the unanimous decision and his third straight win.
When the new UFC rankings came out on Tuesday, Emmett remained in the No. 8 spot, despite Frankie Edgar being a spot above him ahead of Edgar’s move to the bantamweight division.
