Check out the latest UFC fighter rankings following UFC 220.
The post-UFC 220 rankings are out, and due to the distinct lack of ranked fighters on the card, there weren’t a whole lot of changes as a direct result of last Saturday’s fights. Perhaps the biggest notable news was both Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic ascending up the pound-for-pound rankings, followed by Rob Font rising towards (but not quite actually in) the top-10 at bantamweight.
You can check out the full rankings here.
Pound-for-Pound: Daniel Cormier is now tied for 4th with Max Holloway, while Stipe Miocic moves up one spot to 6th, sending T.J. Dillashaw down to 7th.
Women’s Strawweight: No changes
Women’s Flyweight: No changes
Men’s Flyweight: Dustin Ortiz’s victory over Alexandre Pantoja sees him go up one spot to 9th, dropping John Moraga to 10th. Tim Elliott is being ranked at flyweight instead of bantamweight, so he and Matheus Nicolau share 11th. Pantoja’s defeat means he drops from 11th to 13th, while Magomed Bibulatov fell two spots to 15th. Gone from the rankings is Louis Smolka.
Women’s Bantamweight: Bethe Correia drops to 13th after previously being tied for 12th with Leslie Smith.
Men’s Bantamweight: Rob Font jumped from 14th to 11th after his big win over Thomas Almeida, who fell from 10th to 12th. Pedro Munhoz now takes 10th spot, while Eddie Wineland and Brett Johns respectively dropped to 13th and 14th. Matthew Lopez rounds out the list, while Tim Elliott was removed from bantamweight since he’s now been ranked at flyweight again.
Featherweight: Dennis Bermudez dipped down to 12th ahead of this Saturday’s fight vs. Andre Fili, who is presently unranked.
Lightweight: Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje flip-flopped, with Poirier now in 5th and Gaethje at 6th. James Vick climbed one place to 12th, Francisco Trinaldo and Anthony Pettis are jointly ranked 13th.
Welterweight: No changes
Middleweight: Anderson Silva is off the rankings due to his USADA failure. He was #9 before getting pulled, so fighters below him moved up at least one spot. Lyoto Machida actually stayed at 14th, with Paulo Henrique Costa jumping over him to get to 13th. Brad Tavares re-enters the list at 15.
Light Heavyweight: Similarly, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira isn’t part of the rankings because of his positive drug test. Jan Blachowicz now occupies his spot at 11th, while Gadzhimurad Antigulov climbs two places to 12th. Gian Villante returned to the rankings, coming in at 14th. Glover Teixeira is tied for 2nd with Volkan Oezdemir, while Ilir Latifi shares 8th spot with Corey Anderson.
Heavyweight: No changes
