A new week, and a new set of rankings – plus some new names in the official USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA rankings. They include the likes of UFC fighters Neil Magny and Ray Borg, as well as Bellator MMA’s Daniel Weichel. Additionally, one small note about the rankings: While fighters are typically ranked in the weight class in which they most recently competed, former champ Benson Henderson is going to remain in the lightweight division despite his big win over welterweight Brandon Thatch this past weekend. However, should he decide to make a permanent move to 170 pounds, Henderson will be re-ranked. Check out the full rankings above.
