White’s criticisms escalated after  Khalil Rountree Jr. remained ranked eighth in the light heavyweight division after losing a  spirited battle with champion  Alex Pereira at UFC 307.

Editorial Commentary by Peter Parsons With the unprecedented last-minute shuffling of the top three fights on the UFC 279 card this past weekend, Li Jingliang agreed to fight Daniel Rodriguez at a catchweight of 180 pounds.  This was despite the fact that Jingliang already weighed in at 170.5 pounds for his scheduled welterweight fight with Tony Ferguson.  Meanwhile, Rodriguez had weighed in at 179 pounds for his scheduled catchweight fight with Kevin Holland .  Rodriguez defeated Jingliang by a controversial split decision and went on to take the Chinese fighter’s UFC welterweight ranking.

Editorial Commentary by Peter Parsons Marlon “Chito” Vera defeated former UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz by fourth round knockout in the main event of the UFC Fight Night in San Diego this past Saturday.  The fight was the first of several high-profile bantamweight fights scheduled in the next couple of months. Marlon Vera ranked No. 5 at bantamweight This past Saturday, Marlon Vera had his highest profile victory of his career over who many people regard as the best bantamweight of all time in Dominick Cruz.  The 29-year-old Ecuadorian’s victory over Cruz was his fourth straight since his loss to Jose Aldo in 2020.  Aldo is ranked No.

Editorial Commentary by Peter Parsons Molly McCann was a noticeable entrant in this week’s UFC rankings.  “Meatball” Molly entered the UFC flyweight rankings at No. 15 after defeating Hannah Goldy at the UFC event in her home country of England on July 23. Molly McCann ranked No. 15 at women’s flyweight On July 23, “Meatball” Molly brought her British fans to their feet for the second straight time with a spectacular knockout that involved a spinning back elbow.  First it was a third round walk off spinning back elbow knockout over Luana Carolina in March, that still holds up as a knockout of the year candidate.  On July 23, it was the spinning back elbow that was the beginning of the end for her opponent Hannah Goldy.  McCann followed up with a barrage of punches to finish Goldy in the first round. The 32-year-old Liverpool native has now won 3 fights in a row in the UFC and is one of the most popular female fighters in the promotion.  I think it is the popularity that has got McCann the ranking as she has not defeated any top-level opponents thus far.

Editorial Commentary by Peter Parsons The UFC rankings had a lot of movement this week after a stacked UFC 276, a card that was full of ranked fighters.  The middleweight division saw the most movement with Alex Pereira leading the way as he went from unranked to No.

Editorial Commentary by Peter Parsons Mateusz Gamrot entered the top 10 in the UFC lightweight rankings with his five round, main event victory over Arman Tsarukyan on Saturday night.  Gamrot won a unanimous decision, 48-47 on all three judges scorecards, in a high-level, action packed, fight of the night performance. Mateusz Gamrot ranked No. 8 at lightweight After watching the previous No. 12 ranked Mateusz Gamrot defeat the No. 11 ranked Arman Tsarukyan, I thought we might see the two switch spots in the rankings.  I was happy to see Gamrot rise ahead of Conor McGregor and Tony Ferguson who are both on losing streaks, albeit against top competition.  Gamrot is ranked No.
