Saturday night was Marlon Vera’s coming out party. The 29-year-old Ecuadorian came in against one the toughest tests of his UFC career to date in Rob Font, but he fought a brilliant fight and took a decision victory in the UFC Vegas headliner. This allowed him to break into the top five of the bantamweight division for the first time in his career, and all but guarantees him another huge fight next.
Other than that though, there wasn’t a lot of relevance from a rankings perspective at the event. Alexander Romanov entered the heavyweight rankings with a win, and there was some other minor movement here and there.
