Weidman did stop Hall from landing any strikes in their fight so it makes sense that he's moving up.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Strickland won, yet moves below a Weidman? That’s just dumb.

Very surprised Masvidal fell as far to 7 as well.

Other than there are not real surprises

 

[Le Choad]

At this rate, by the time the chris is finishing up rehab on his leg he should be cracking the top 5

Middleweight: Chris Weidman moves to (#11), while Sean Strickland falls to (#12)

Pretty sure that's a mistake on the UFC website. Weidman didn't move. And Sean Strickland moved up, not down, following his win over Jotko.

lol nobody wanted to fight Islam becasue he was not a top 10 and now he became a top 10 without fighting a top 10

lol nobody wanted to fight Islam becasue he was not a top 10 and now he became a top 10 without fighting a top 10

Islam has steadily been climbing the rankings for the past year through hype alone

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Masvidal falling to #7 from #1? Jesus.

He's the lowest ranked guy on a 7 fight winning streak.

They're showing him as tied at #10 with Paul Felder. Felder shouldn't be ranked #10 but because the UFC likes him they are tying him and Islam instead of dropping Felder.

After the vacant LW title fight this weekend Islam will move up to #9 contender because one of the ranked guys will become champ.

Strickland won, yet moves below a Weidman? That’s just dumb.

But Weidman caused the most damage during the fight

 

[Habib The Eagle]

How can they have two fighters sitting at 10? How does that work? (Felder and Makhachaev)

 

[Goatenstein]

I think a top 10 would be much better and not expose the lack of depth in this wannabe sport.

 

[Habib The Eagle]

Islam has steadily been climbing the rankings for the past year through hype alone

Islam Makhachaev deserve his spot. Now its turn to UFC to give him someone between 5-9 (Hooker,Felder).

Oliveira beat Jared Gordon and then got to fight a top 10 fighter in Lee. Oliveira was ranked 13.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

WTF with Weidman

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

But Weidman caused the most damage during the fight

You mean this record doesn't warrant a move up to #11?
