Check out the latest UFC rankings update following the results from UFC on FOX 29.
As great as UFC on FOX 29 was, there weren’t that many fights involving ranked competition, so as you might imagine, changes were few and far between in the latest rankings update. The biggest movers of the week were John Moraga and Brad Tavares, both of whom shot up significantly in their respective divisions after impressive wins on the prelims. Alex Oliveira also found himself back in the top-15 with his submission of Carlos Condit, while Antonio Carlos Junior also can call himself ranked thanks to beating Tim Boetsch.
