There weren’t many changes in the UFC rankings coming out of their Moscow event.

The rankings weren’t exactly lit afire following UFC Moscow. While the main event was highly relevant, there wasn’t much of note otherwise – just a lot of local fighters plying their trade and trying to keep their jobs. Zabit Magomedsharipov did his part in trying to earn a featherweight title shot by defeating Calvin Kattar, and Alexander Volkov dispatched Greg Hardy rather easily. But other than that, it’s slim pickings.

Here’s a look at the few changes for this week.

P4P – No changes.

Heavyweight – Volkov is up one spot into a tie for six with Alistair Overeem after his co-headlining win. Walt Harris is up one to eight. Shail Abdurakhimov fell one spot to nine.

Light Heavyweight – No changes.

Middleweight – No changes.

Welterweight – No changes.

Lightweight – No changes.

Featherweight – Zabit is up one to four. Frankie Edgar falls to five, and presumably lower in the near future since he’s dropping to 135.

Bantamweight – No changes.

Flyweight – No changes.

Women’s Bantamweight – Irene Aldana fell two spots from eight to ten for some reason. Marion Reneau and Sara McMann are up one to eight and nine.

Women’s Flyweight – No changes.

Women’s Strawweight – No changes.
