Following on from UFC 250 the official rankings have been updated and several fighters from the card made big jumps in their respective divisions.
Sean O’Malley picked up a highlight reel, walk away knockout over Eddie Wineland to open up the main card. ‘Suga’ earned his first ranking in the UFC after the biggest win of his career – he is now sits at #15 at 135lbs.
Former UFC bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt also scored an epic knockout victory over Raphael Assuncao in the co-main event at UFC 250 to snap his three-fight losing skid. The win was enough to move him back into the top five at bantamweight, up four spots from ninth.
Another big mover from UFC 250 was Alex Perez who shockingly stopped Jussier Formiga with leg kicks in round one. He moves five spots up the rankings and is currently tied for fourth with fellow contender Alexandre Pantoja.
