The UFC has updated its ranking in the UFC Middleweight division.
1. Luke Rockhold
2. Chris Weidman
3. Jacare Souza
4. Vitor Belfort
5. Lyoto Machida
6. Tim Kennedy
7. Michael Bisping
8. Robert Whittaker
9. Gegard Mousasi
10. Thales Leites
11. Uriah Hall
12. Derek Brunson
13. Dan Henderson
14. Roan Carneiro
15. CB Dollaway
16. Rafael Natal
The notable change is that Yoel Romero is no longer in the top ten. Romero who has a record of 11 wins with 1 defeat, tested positive for steroids after his fight. As of yet he has received no punishment.
There are a few notable fights coming soon that will impact on the rankings.
Michael Bisping will be fighting Anderson Silva at UFC Fight Night London on 27th February 2016. As mentioned in previous posts I will be at the event. At the same event Gegard Mousasi will be fighting against Thales Leites. After losing his last fight, Gegard Mousasi will be looking to get back on track and move up the rankings.
Another fight in February in the middleweight division is Derek Brunson vs Roan Carneiro. The fight takes place at UFC Fight Night 83 from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Finally, tomorrow night, 30th January 2016, sees Rafael Natal fight against Kevin Casey at UFC on Fox 18 from Newark, New Jersey. Be sure to check out my previous blog post where I give my prediction for this fight and the rest of the event.
