Let’s take a look at who made the biggest moves in the latest updated official UFC rankings.
Oliveira Joins Pound-For-Pound List
It seemed his career at the very highest level was in decline after his knockout loss at the hands of Ilia Topuria less than a year ago, but back-to-back wins against Mateusz Gamrot and Max Holloway (27-9 MMA, 23-9 UFC) have vaulted Charles Oliveira (37-11 MMA, 25-11 UFC) back into the spotlight.
Saturday’s win over Holloway not only secured the BMF belt for “Do Bronx”, it also sees him return to the pound-for-pound rankings at no. 12. Holloway, meanwhile, slides five places to no. 15, while Arman Tsarukyan departs the list.
Borralho Breaks Into Top Five
After rebounding from the first defeat of his UFC career by beating Reinier de Ridder in Saturday’s co-main event, Caio Borralho (18-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) has moved up two places to no. 5 in the latest updated middleweight rankings.
Gregory Rodrigues (19-6 MMA, 10-3 UFC), who knocked out Brunno Ferreira to claim his sixth win in seven outings in Saturday’s main card opener, rises one place to twelfth.
Rosas Jr. Debuts in Bantamweight Rankings
His victory over Rob Font in the middle of Saturday’s main card may not have been the most entertaining, but it was enough to earn Raul Rosas Jr. (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) a place in the latest updated bantamweight rankings. The 21-year-old replaces Font (22-10 MMA, 12-9 UFC) at no. 13, while Font departs the list.
Tuivasa Returns
In a bizarre turn of events, Tai Tuivasa (14-9 MMA, 8-9 UFC) returns to the heavyweight rankings at no. 15, replacing Vitor Petrino, despite neither man having fought this week. Tuivasa is riding a 6-fight skid and hasn’t picked up a win since February of 2022.
