The rankings weren’t exactly lit afire following UFC Moscow. While the main event was highly relevant, there wasn’t much of note otherwise – just a lot of local fighters plying their trade and trying to keep their jobs. Zabit Magomedsharipov did his part in trying to earn a featherweight title shot by defeating Calvin Kattar, and Alexander Volkov dispatched Greg Hardy rather easily. But other than that, it’s slim pickings.

Here’s a look at the few changes for this week.

P4P – No changes.

Heavyweight – Volkov is up one spot into a tie for six with Alistair Overeem after his co-headlining win. Walt Harris is up one to eight. Shail Abdurakhimov fell one spot to nine.

Light Heavyweight – No changes.

Middleweight – No changes.

Welterweight – No changes.

Lightweight – No changes.

Featherweight – Zabit is up one to four. Frankie Edgar falls to five, and presumably lower in the near future since he’s dropping to 135.

Bantamweight – No changes.

Flyweight – No changes.

Women’s Bantamweight – Irene Aldana fell two spots from eight to ten for some reason. Marion Reneau and Sara McMann are up one to eight and nine.

Women’s Flyweight – No changes.

Women’s Strawweight – No changes.
