UFC fighter rankings: Johnson, Brunson move up after 1st round knockout wins

The UFC rankings have been updated, and while last week’s card in Hidalgo wasn’t filled with ranked fighters, the top two bouts did cause some changes in their respective weight classes. Michael Johnson’s starching of Dustin Poirier has him on the outer edge of the top 5, while Poirier dropped exactly to #10. Derek Brunson’s finish of Uriah Hall has him at #8, one spot behind Robert Whittaker, and those two will fight each other this November in Melbourne.

Pound-for-Pound: No changes

Women’s Strawweight: No changes

Flyweight: No changes

Women’s Bantamweight: No changes

Bantamweight: John Lineker is up to 3rd, with Bryan Caraway down to 4th.
