As expected there was a decent amount of shakeup in the official UFC rankings following last Sunday’s (April 10, 2016 UFC Fight Night 86 from the Zagreb Arena in Zagreb, Croatia, and the biggest shift was former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos’ move back up the rankings for his dominantly one-sided win over previously rising Ben Rothwell.

For his much-needed statement win, dos Santos moved up from No. 5 to No. 4 in the 265-pound rankings. Andrei Arlovski moved up to No. 5 as a result, and ‘Big’ Ben dropped to No. 6 for his first loss in his last five fights.

Also at heavyweight, monstrous power slugger Derrick Lewis cracked the Top 15 at No. 13 for his first round knockout win over veteran Gabriel Gonzaga. Former champion Frank Mir was also flagged for a potential USADA violation, and it may have played a part in his move down one spot to No. 11, allowing Roy Nelson to claim the No. 10 spot.

In the lighter weight classes, there was somehow a decent number of surprising shifts even though no specific fights caused them to happen in any way. For example, Renan Barao rose two spots in the bantamweight ranks to No. 2 despite the fact that he will move up to featherweight to battle Jeremy Stephens on May 29, moving title contender Urijah Faber and Raphael Assuncao down a spot.

In a similar move, Donald Cerrone rose 3 spots in in the lightweight ranks to No. 6 despite the fact that he will face Patrick Cote at welterweight in the co-main event of the UFC’s Ottawa debut on June 18.

Women’s bantamweight saw a sizeable shakeup for a different reason, as former No. 10-ranked Sarah Kaufman’s removal from the rankings due to her not having a contract caused Valentina Shevchenko, Raquel Pennington, Germaine de Randamie, Lauren Murphy, and Marion Reneau to move up a spot each, while Ashlee Evans-Smith debuted at No. 15 as a result.

Reigning UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor had a rough night at UFC 196 this past weekend (March 5, 2016), coming up short in his move up to 170-pounds where he met usual lightweight Nate Diaz.

After a tremendous amount of trash talk, the “Notorious” one would end up suffering a rear naked choke loss in the second round to Diaz.

After the defeat, McGregor has dropped five spots in the pound-for-pound rankings, now sitting at No. 8.

Miesha “Cupcake” Tate also upset Holly Holm in the co-main event of the evening, becoming the new women’s bantamweight championship as well as breaking into the pound-for-pound rankings at No. 15.

The UFC “official” rankings have been updated and reflect the decision win for Michael Bisping over Anderson Silva from UFC Fight Night 84.

Bisping, competing in his home country of England, moved up to fourth at middleweight. “The Count” climbed three spots, vaulting ahead of Lyoto Machida, Silva and Tim Kennedy.

There was plenty of movement in the 185-pound division, as Uriah Hall and Derek Brunson both jumped past Thales Leites, who lost to Gegard Mousasi in the co-main. C.B. Dollaway moved back in, slotting in at 15th.

In the overall pound-for-pound Top-15, middleweight champion Luke Rockhold jumped into a tie for fifth with heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum. Rafael dos Anjos, the lightweight champion who is out with a broken foot, fell three spots to seventh.

Jussier Formiga is now ranked fourth at flyweight, climbing ahead of Ian McCall, while Dustin Ortiz and Ali Bagautinov flipped for 10th and 11th in the division.

At bantamweight, Jimmie Rivera moved ahead of John Lineker and Frankie Saenz for 11th, while unbeaten Cody Garbrandt debuted at 15th. Lightweight saw Dustin Poirier and Evan Dunham move up to 10th and 13th, with Michael Chiesa falling a spot to 14th.

Hector Lombard, who meets Neil Magny later this year, is now ranked 13th at welterweight, shifting himself ahead of Thiago Alves and Albert Tumenov. Jan Blachowicz jumped to 14th and Nikita Krylov debuted at 15th at light heavyweight, while Ruslan Magomedov is now tied with Alexey Oliynyk for 14th at heavyweight.

In the strawweight division, Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Joanne Calderwood flip-flopped for 10th and 11th, while Valentina Shevchenko and Sarah Kaufman did the same at bantamweight for the females.

The rankings will once again be updated next week after UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz takes place Saturday night from Las Vegas and the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz rose to No. 4 in the latest UFC rankings for the pound-for-pound Top-15.

Cruz climbed three spots and is now tied with lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. The changes saw Robbie Lawler, the welterweight titleholder, fall two spots, along with Luke Rockhold and Daniel Cormier moving up one position each.

Despite winning, Donald Cerrone dropped four spots to ninth at lightweight, as his bout vs. Alex Oliveira took place at welterweight. It remains unknown what Cerrone’s plans are for now. Nate Diaz, Michael Johnson and Beneil Dariush all moved up.

Anderson Silva, who takes on Michael Bisping this Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 84, is now ranked fifth at middleweight.

Hector Lombard and Ruslan Magomedov debuted back in their respective weight class rankings.

UFC Rankings Update: Stephen Thompson On The Rise

Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson set the mixed martial arts (MMA) world on fire when he knocked out former champion Johny Hendricks in the main event of last weekend’s (Sat., February 6, 2015) UFC Fight Night 82 from the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and he’s deservedly earned a big boost up the official UFC rankings

The post UFC Rankings Update: Stephen Thompson On The Rise appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson set the mixed martial arts (MMA) world on fire when he knocked out former champion Johny Hendricks in the main event of last weekend’s (Sat., February 6, 2015) UFC Fight Night 82 from the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and he’s deservedly earned a big boost up the official UFC rankings as a result.

Thompson rose up a whopping five spots in the welterweight ranks to No. 3 after defeating the previously No. 2-ranked ‘Bigg Rigg,’ who fell to No. 5. Tyron Woodley overtook his No. 2 spot. Hendricks’ demotion caused Nos. 6-9 fighters Demian Maia, Matt Brown, Dong Hyun Kim, and Neil Magny to all drop one spot as a result.

In other rankings movement, lightweight saw some changes when Tony Ferguson changed spots with Donald Cerrone, moving up to No. 4. Edson Barboza did the same with Beneil Dariush at the Nos. 8 and 9 spots, respectively, and Dustin Poirer and Bobby Green did the same at No. 11 and 12.

At middleweight, Anderson Silva continued his rise up the rankings heading into his UFC Fight Night 84 main event against Michael Bisping, clocking in at No. 7 after re-debuting at No. 10 last week. The move sent Robert Whittaker, Gegard Mousasi, and Thales Leites all down one spot, while Rafael Natal and Derek Brunson traded the Nos. 12 and 13 spots.

Heavyweight saw a bit of movement as surging ‘Big’ Ben Rothwell sent Andrei Arlovski from the No. 4 spot, forcing the former champion into a tie with Junior dos Santos, whom Rothwell will fight in Coratia this April, at No. 5. Josh Barnett took the No. 8 spot from Mark Hunt, while Antonio Slva, Matt Mitrione, and Alexei Oliynyk all benefited from Jared Rosholt’s decision loss to Roy Nelson, which sent him plummeting three spots to No. 15.

Finally, the pound-for-pound rankings saw quite the upheaval for not having a single member of the list fight last weekend, as Rafael dos Anjos moved up two spots to No. 4 heading into his UFC 196 clash with Conor McGregor. Robbie Lawler moved down two spots as a result. Also on the pound-for-pound list, newly re-crowned bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz took over the No. 7 spot from middleweight champion Luke Rockhold.
