As always, the latest action on offer inside the Octagon has seen some climb the ladder toward contention and others fall away.

And in the aftermath of UFC Fight Night: Amanda Lemos vs. Virna Jandiroba, MMA News has you covered with this week’s updates to the official UFC rankings.

Men’s Pound-For-Pound: No changes.

Women’s Pound-for-Pound: Jandiroba’s submission of Lemos in Saturday’s main event has advanced both her divisional and P4P ambitions. The Brazilian has debuted in the latter list at #13, one spot behind the climbing Kayla Harrison. The defeated Lemos, meanwhile, has dropped three positions to #15, while flyweight contender Maycee Barber has fallen out entirely.

Women’s Strawweight: At 115 pounds, Jandiroba finds herself two spots better off at #3 courtesy of her efforts at the Apex. Lemos has made way for that rise and now occupies her recent opponent’s formerly occupied #5 place.

Women’s Flyweight: No changes.

Women’s Bantamweight: No changes.

Flyweight: Bruno Silva mounted a memorable comeback this past weekend to knock out fellow American Top Team standout Cody Durden. He’s been rewarded with an entry into the 125-pound rankings at #15, with his defeated teammate now out of the top 15.

Bantamweight: While he’s had to wait an extra week, Montel Jackson’s 18-second knockout of Da’Mon Blackshear in Denver has netted him the #15 position in the division. His arrival has led to the removal of longtime veteran contender Pedro Munhoz.

Featherweight: No changes.

Lightweight: No changes.

Welterweight: No changes.

Middleweight: No changes.

Light Heavyweight: No changes.

Heavyweight: No changes.

Montel Jackson is promoted as having some dangerous power in his hands, and that was on full display in his victory on the preliminary card of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night in Denver.

Jackson scored a quick win inside Ball Arena, knocking out Da’Mon Blackshear in just 18 seconds.

As the two were feeling each other out, Jackson threw a one-two combination that saw a right hand to the chest and brutal straight left, with enough power to put Blackshear down and out.

Montel Jackson Scores Lightning Quick KO At UFC Fight Night Denver

Jackson’s finish is good enough for the second-quickest in UFC bantamweight history.

“Quik” has now won five consecutive fights and is 8-2 in the Octagon since joining the UFC off a 2018 win on Dana White’s Contender Series. He will most likely find himself opposite a figure within the top 15 of the UFC bantamweight rankings next time out.

Blackshear, meanwhile, has now dropped two consecutive fights and is 2-3-1 in the UFC. He is one of just three fighters to record a rare twister submission inside the Octagon.
