Making Sense of the Updated Athlete Rankings After UFC 244

Jorge Masvidal is now the proud owner of the UFC’s “BMF” title. He earned that honor in the main event of Saturday’s UFC 244 card in New York City, when he defeated Nate Diaz via doctor’s stoppage.

UFC 244 also featured the successful middleweight debut of former welterweight title challenger Darren Till, who defeated top-5 contender Kelvin Gastelum by split decision in the co-main event. Other highlights included big victories from fighters like Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, Derrick Lewis, Kevin Lee, Corey Anderson, and Katlyn Chookagian.

The official UFC rankings have been updated in the wake of this card, and as expected, there have been some big changes.
