UFC fighter rankings: Frankie Edgar enters bantamweight rankings in the top five

Frankie Edgar took a long time to finally make his bantamweight debut, but it only took one fight to put him in the title picture in the division. His split decision win over Pedro Munhoz in the headliner of the UFC’s Saturday show sees him jump right into the top five contenders list at 135, leaving Munhoz back at six and being forced to string some wins together again to maybe get that elusive title shot.

Outside of that relevant fight, the card was destroyed by injuries and COVID and only featured nine fights. So there aren’t a lot of other changes in the rankings this week.
