The latest official UFC rankings have gone up, but there’s not been a lot of major movement. Robbie Lawler didn’t have anywhere to go as he’s already in the Top Spot at 170 pounds. Clay Guida is the only fighter who’s taken a bit of a tumble in the Featherweight Division only to be followed by Josh Thomson who lost out to Bobby Green.
Below are the full rankings, and our UFC sports guy Shane Mclendon will be adding his voice to the rankings next time around and giving his opinion which he loves doing. He’ll also be doing recaps of the games.
