In the aftermath of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night at the Apex, 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: No changes.

Women’s Strawweight: No changes.

Women’s Flyweight: No changes.

Women’s Bantamweight: Julia Avila fell short at the Apex opposite Jacqueline Cavalcanti. While she subsequently retired, she’s kept her spot in the UFC rankings for now, dropping three spots to #15. The Brazilian, meanwhile, is up two places to #11. Also on the rise is Nora Cornolle, who’s benefitted from recent results to surge up two spots to #13.

Inside the top 10, Ailín Pérez (#8) will likely not be happy to have had her recent rise take a hit. Despite coming off a win streak, the Argentine has fallen back behind Mayra Bueno Silva (#7), who has lost three straight.

Flyweight: No changes.

Bantamweight: Unrelated to the latest event, Marcus McGhee has moved up one place to #13 at 135 pounds, now leaving him above Aiemann Zahabi (#14).

Featherweight: One of the biggest winners to emerge from UFC Vegas 102 was Youssef Zalal, who remained unbeaten since returning to the promotion by outpointing Calvin Kattar. As a result, he’s debuted in the UFC rankings at #12. The defeated Kattar, meanwhile, has slipped four positions to #14.

That change has notably boosted Lerone Murphy into the top 10 and ousted Edson Barboza from the list entirely.

Lightweight: In a somewhat random switch, Grant Dawson has jumped France’s Benoît Saint Denis into #14, leaving “God of War” on the brink of losing his number in the UFC rankings.

Welterweight: No changes.

Middleweight: No changes.

Light Heavyweight: No changes.

Heavyweight: Don’Tale Mayes’ inclusion in the heavyweight top 15 puzzled many, and he didn’t last long. Following a quick submission loss this past weekend, the American has fallen out of the rankings. Despite Valter Walker defeating him, the Brazilian isn’t the fighter who’s replaced Mayes. The #15-ranked heavyweight is instead Tallison Teixeira, who knocked out Justin Tafa earlier this month in Sydney.

Men’s Pound-For-Pound: No changes.

Women’s Pound-for-Pound: No changes.

Women’s Strawweight: No changes.

Women’s Flyweight: Jasmine Jasudavicius was among the biggest winners to emerge from this past weekend’s event, where she made it four wins on the bounce at the expense of ex-bantamweight title challenger Mayra Bueno Silva. As a result, the Canadian has climbed three spots at 125 pounds to #9.

Despite the defeat, “Sheetara” has entered the list at #15, leaving her ranked in two divisions simultaneously. The Brazilian has been joined as a new entrant this week by Casey O’Neill (#14). Making way for those two new arrivals are Katlyn Cerminara and Amanda Ribas.

Women’s Bantamweight: Ailín Pérez was not best pleased to remain below the woman she defeated in Los Angeles last month, Karol Rosa, following the subsequent update to the UFC rankings. And her complaints have paid off, with the Argentine rising a further four spots this week to #7.

Flyweight: No changes.

Bantamweight: No changes.

Featherweight: No changes.

Lightweight: No changes.

Welterweight: No changes.

Middleweight: The biggest win of Nassourdine Imavov’s career to date in Saturday’s headliner has left him as the #2-ranked contender at 185 pounds. The man he knocked out, Israel Adesanya, has slipped below the Frenchman and Khamzat Chimaev to #4. Also in the top 10, there’s been a switch of positions between Jared Cannonier and Marvin Vettori. “The Killa Gorilla” has been boosted to #7, with the Italian a place worse off at #8.

There’s also been significant changes toward the bottom of the ladder, with both Roman Kopylov and Bo Nickal entering the top 15 this week. With Shara Magomedov and Jack Hermansson taken out, the Russian and American middleweights pair now occupy #14 and #15, respectively.

Light Heavyweight: No changes.

Heavyweight: There’s also two new names in the heavyweight UFC rankings. Don’Tale Mayes (#14) now has a number next to his name despite a 4-5 record in the UFC, not to mention his defeat last time out. That’s in addition to Jhonata Diniz (#15), who also lost his most recent fight. Those two have entered at the expense of the recently released Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Marcos Rogério de Lima.
