Tai Tuivasa (15-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) never fails to entertain, and though he did take a small step back in the UFC’s official heavyweight rankings following a loss to Ciryl Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC), it wasn’t a costly drop.
Following the setback at this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 209 event, Tuivasa dropped just one spot in the latest updated list, and now sits at No. 4, with Curtis Blaydes (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) moving up one spot to No. 3.
Already at No. 1, Gane remained in the same position with the win.
