UFC fighter rankings: Anthony Smith rockets up light heavyweight list

UFC Moncton was nothing to write home from a relevance standpoint, though it did provide some good action. There was one shining star coming out of the event though, and that was the winner of the main event - Anthony Smith. After taking out the former number two contender in the 205-pound division, Smith was propelled way up in the rankings and is now a legitimate contender there.

The only other major changes came at flyweight and lightweight. The man that the 125-pound division was based around, Demetrious Johnson, is now out of the rankings since he’s been “traded” to ONE Championship.
