What will happen to rountree in the rankings?

[Fedorgasm]

He was ranked 8th in the division before the loss to Poatan. But what happens now?

He lost the fight, but you can't move him down because Johnny Walker is ranked 9th, and I think he's better than Walker.

But you can't really justify moving him up either, because while he performed well and earned respect, he still lost.

So does he just stay at number 8?

That also feels weird. I mean why even have a fight if it doesn't move the needle either way?

 

[Lee Danger]

eight is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

For the title and

 

[Zyklon R]

Hopefully he moves up in rank

 

[Goatenstein]

In legitimate rankings he's still top 10. Who knows where hell end up in corrupt UFC rankings.

 

[Striker Fox]

He's coming off a failed drug test and I don't think he's done enough to leap Volkan or Krylov

 

[RockyLockridge]

He will stay still but he will be given a match up like Jan or hill to see where he's at. He might even get loser of Ankalaev vs rakic

Not according to Three dog night sir lol

 

[Megatronlee]

He should replace who loses next that’s in close vicinity to him

#7 Krylov and #6 Volkan are fighting #11 Azamat and #10 Ulberg respectively next month. I think Khalil could easily see himself move up if either or both lose.

He was MOVED UP to #8 to justify him fighting Alex so he has been rewarded for his moral victory. As a title fight that one was WEIRD all around except for the UFC putting on a Pride style Squash Match seems to be the way of the future.

 

[laleggenda27]

By way of comparison, BSD moved up 1 spot after he lost to Dustin...but that was because RDA lost on the same card.

I'd expect Khalil to stay put at #8.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

He's probably drops to 9-11

 

[Koro_11]

Move him up, get rid of hill completely.

 

[humdizzle]

i posted this yesterday and everyone said he should remain #8

even though he had a way better performance against Alex than Jiri or Hill had.

 

[L0ki]

It shouldn't effect his ranking.

He should get a top 10, maybe even 5, op next.

Well yeah, cuz it didn't really move him closer to a title shot

 

[wh4tttt]

The only time I would approve of failing upwards a spot.
