UFC fighter rankings: Jared Cannonier joins contenders at middleweight

As is usually the case with non-PPV UFC cards these days, the rankings weren’t greatly affected by UFC Copenhagen. Jared Cannonier’s emphatic stoppage of Jack Hermansson did shake up middleweight though, with him moving into the top five contenders in the division. And with a few high-profile fighters from 185 moving up to light heavyweight, Cannonier might be that much closer to a title shot.

Other than that though, there was movement in just three other divisions. Here’s a look at all the changes this week.

P4P - No changes.

Heavyweight - No changes.

Light Heavyweight - Nikita Krylov is up one to 14, bumping Shogun Rua to 15.
