Some controversial changes to the UFC rankings.
Following his successful title defense, Alex Pereira has moved up two spots to No. 2 in the men's pound-for-pound rankings. He now sits below Islam Makhachev, and above Jon Jones. The move also pushed welterweight champion Leon Edwards from No. 3 to No. 4.With seemingly no correlation, Tom Aspinall also moved two spots up to No. 11, pushing Israel Adesanya to No. 12. This is possibly in anticipation of Aspinall's co-headliner at UFC 304 in late July.
Meanwhile, in the women's strawweight division, Gillian Robertson climbs two spots to No. 13 with a dominant victory over Michelle Waterson-Gomez.UFC News: Nate Diaz Reveals Injuries in Conor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal FightsMathew is a UK-based combat sports journalist and graphic designer.
