There weren’t too many changes to the UFC rankings following last weekend’s FOX card, and that’s no surprise given the lack of ranked fighter. We did have ranked competitors in the main event, and with Michelle Waterson’s 1st round rear-naked choke over Paige VanZant, “The Karate Hottie” is firmly in the strawweight division’s top 10. While VanZant lost for the 2nd time in 3 fights, she’s still on the outer edges of the top 10.
Pound-for-Pound: Cris Cyborg jumped two spots into a tie for 11th with fellow Brazilian Amanda Nunes. Khabib Nurmagomedov dropped from 12th to 13th.
