Rankings Update: With Silva suspended, p4p and middleweight shift

Generally the UFC only updates it’s rankings after an event, but last week the Nevada State Athletic Commission levied a one year suspension from the sport. With the length of time Silva will be out, he was removed from the rankings causing a shift in the pound for pound and middleweight rankings:
