Rashad Evans picked up an important win over Dan Henderson at UFC 161, avoiding a third consecutive loss in the process.
While Evans still has some work to do to make up for his deflating defeat against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, he’s back on the track toward title contention. Meanwhile, Henderson is quickly headed in the wrong direction at 42 years old.
Stipe Miocic also rebounded in a big way on Saturday, out-boxing Roy Nelson for three rounds in an upset victory. Competing in the final fight of his UFC contract, Nelson’s wallet is likely to take a hit from his poor performance over the weekend.
With UFC 161 in the books and UFC 162 ahead, let’s take a look at the latest official UFC rankings.
