Stock Up, Stock Down: Making Sense of the Rankings After UFC 246

UFC 246 is now in the rear-view mirror, but we’ll be feeling the aftershocks of this blockbuster card for weeks to come.

The biggest story to emerge from the card is, of course, the successful return of former two-division champion Conor McGregor, who unleashed a 40-second beatdown of Donald Cerrone in the welterweight main event.

Yet that’s not all UFC 246 had to offer. Outside of the main event, the card featured big wins from high-level talent like Holly Holm, Diego Ferreira, Roxanne Modafferi, Sodiq Yusuff and Askar Askarov.

Given the amount of ranked talent crammed onto the UFC 246 bill, it should come as no surprise that the official UFC rankings are looking a little different than they were beforehand.
