This week’s UFC Rankings update is in.
Following this past weekend’s (Sat. August 25, 2018) UFC Lincoln card, some changes have been made to the rankings. In the main event of the show, Justin Gaethje made quick work of James Vick with a knockout.
This has resulted in Vick being moved out of the top 10. Gaethje remains firm in his spot at No. 7. Also, Deiveson Figueiredo’s win over John Moraga moved him up eight spots on the list. He’s now at No. 6 with the win.
