The official UFC rankings have been updated after last Saturday’s UFC Rio Rancho card, and as expected, there are some interesting changes. Most notably, Jan Blachowicz, who knocked out Corey Anderson in the card’s main event, has made a big climb up at light heavyweight, surpassing the former champ Daniel Cormier.<\/p>\n
Of course, Cormier hasn’t fought at light heavyweight in two years<\/a>, and intends to retire in the heavyweight division, so it’s a head-scratcher that he’s ranked at light heavyweight at all. Then again, these are the UFC rankings we’re talking about, where whim and fancy rule over logic and reason, so we should probably be used to this by now.<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the new UFC rankings, you’ll spot changes at men’s flyweight, men’s bantamweight, men’s featherweight, women’s flyweight and on the new women’s pound-for-pound list.<\/p>\n
