UFC Vegas 21 is in the books, and there isn’t much two write about. Two of the six main card fights, including the main event, went to a No Contest due to dodgy fouls. This means there was no movement at welterweight, where Leon Edwards had a title shot waiting for him if he impressed. He does not now.

There were some bright spots. The hands of Ryan Spann and Dan Ige were on full display, earning them a bump in their respective divisions. But that was about all that came out of the card from a rankings perspective. Here’s a look at all the changes this week.

Men’s P4P – No changes.

Heavyweight – Augusto Sakai fell from a tie for eight to take over nine on his own.

Light Heavyweight – Spann is up two spots to 11. Misha Cirkunov and Jimmy Crute fall one each to 12 and 13.

Middleweight – No changes.

Welterweight – No changes.

Lightweight – No changes.

Featherweight – Ige passed Jeremy Stephens for the eight spot, dropping the Lil’ Heathen to nine.

Bantamweight – No changes.

Flyweight – Matheus Nicolau enters at 14 coming off a win he didn’t deserve. Amir Albazi drops to 15.

Women’s P4P – Yan Ziaonan and non-active Nina Ansaroff flip-flopped the 11 and 12 spots.

Women’s Bantamweight – No changes.

Women’s Flyweight – No changes.

Women’s Strawweight – No changes.
