The latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings saw a few moves thanks to the action this past weekend at UFC Fight Night 226 in Paris.
The biggest move of the week goes to [autotag]Manon Fiorot[/autotag], who scored arguably the biggest win of her career – a unanimous decision – against two-time strawweight champion Rose Namajunas making her divisional debut. Fiorot entered fight week No. 8 at 125 pounds; now she sits at No. 5, leapfrogging Taila Santos, Juliana Velasquez and Jessica Andrade. Fiorot’s victory, however, wasn’t enough to move past No. 4 Erin Blanchfield, with whom Fiorot is in the running for the next title shot.
The results at UFC Fight Night 226 also produced a rankings newcomer and return – both honorable mentions. At lightweight, [autotag]Benoit Saint-Denis[/autotag] replaces former champ Rafael dos Anjos (now at welterweight) after his second-round TKO of Thiago Moises. And at light heavyweight, former title challenger [autotag]Volkan Oezdemir[/autotag] is back in the mix as he replaces Rob Wilkinson following a first-round submission of Bogdan Guskov.
[autotag]Ciry Gane[/autotag] put on a masterful performance against Serghei Spivac in the UFC Fight Night 226 main event, but he stays put at No. 4 in the heavyweight rankings right behind Sergei Pavlovich.
