UFC Vegas 3 did cause a slight ripple in the rankings of nearly every weight class, but there was nothing earth-shattering coming out of last weekend’s event. Josh Emmett and Shane Burgos put on an excellent co-main event fight that saw Emmett fight a full three rounds with a torn ACL and still defeat the iron-chinned Burgos. Unfortunately for Burgos though, that didn’t help his rankings place at all.
The main event went as Curtis Blaydes said it would, with him grinding out a decision over Alexander Volkov. He can’t really move up in the ranking though because he’s lost to Francis Ngannou twice.
