Rankings Update: Rampage is back

As they do after each event, the UFC released updated rankings after a select group of media members ranked fighters in every division.

This past weekend the UFC held UFC 186 in Montreal, Canada featuring only a few bouts that had an effect in the official rankings. Quinton Jackson returned to the UFC and returned to the light heavyweight rankings and the media also changed their mind, moving Max Holloway above Cub Swanson:

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT

Champion : Jon Jones

1 Anthony Johnson 

2 Alexander Gustafsson 

3 Daniel Cormier 

4 Rashad Evans 

5 Ryan Bader 

6 Glover Teixeira 

7 Ovince Saint Preux 

8 Jimi Manuwa 

9 Mauricio Rua 

10 Rafael Cavalcante 

11 Rampage Jackson *NR

12 Antonio Rogerio Nogueira -1

13 Fabio Maldonado -1

14 Patrick Cummins -1

15 Jan Blachowicz 

FEATHERWEIGHT

Champion : Jose Aldo

1 Chad Mendes 

2 Frankie Edgar 

3 Conor McGregor 

4 Ricardo Lamas 

5 Max Holloway +1

6 Cub Swanson -1

7 Dennis Bermudez 

8 Nik Lentz 

9 Charles Oliveira 

10 Clay Guida 

11 Jeremy Stephens 

12 Dennis Siver 

13 Darren Elkins +1

14 Hacran Dias +1

15 Dustin Poirier -1

Quinton Jackson was unranked since it was his return to the UFC after a stint in Bellator and faced Fabio Maldonado. Rampage landed in eleventh and Maldonado, who was in twelfth, dropped one spot to thirteenth.

It also appears the media corrected a mistake in that previously Max Hollaway was ranked below Cub Swanson despite coming off a win over Swanson.
