Notable Info

Dan Henderson increases his status and takes the #7 Absolute position, bumping Randy Couture down to #8.
Junior dos Santos mirrors “Hendo”, but in the Heavyweight-specific division, as he moves up one position to #7.
Jon Jones continues his methodical ascent up the Light Heavyweight list — now at #11. It is only a matter of time before he cracks the Top 10, he just needs more longevity at the top of the division.
With Sanchez’s latest loss, he loses some steam and drops two positions to #8 at Welterweight. Also as a result of this matchup, Ellenberger jumps onto the list, making his debut at #23.
Gilbert Melendez, quietly becoming one of the sport’s all-time greats, displaces Vitor Ribeiro at #5 within the Lightweight division.
UFC Flyweights are preparing to make their mark on the Flyweight list. Ian McCall moves up to #16, with Demetrious Johnson (who has had previous fights at Flyweight) is knocking on the door at #40. Benavidez with only one fight in the division, needs more time and results to get close to the Top 25.
Tara LaRosa eeked past Yuka Tsuji into the #2 position on the Women’s list. The top 3 positions on this list are super tight.
