UFC fighter rankings: Figueiredo soars at flyweight
The UFC’s trip to Lincoln certainly provided some fireworks, but a lot of the action wasn’t all that relevant from a rankings standpoint. Main event winner Justin Gaethje didn’t move at all due to beating a lower-ranked opponent. The co-main event fighters weren’t ranked. In fact, the biggest (and only major) change came in the 125-pound division when Deiveson Figueiredo stopped John Moraga.
Here’s a look at the (few) changes this week:
P4P - No changes.
Lightweight - Vick’s quick knockout loss to Gaethje saw him fall two spots from ten to 12. This bumped Nate Diaz up one spot to ten and Michael Chiesa up one to 11.
