Having successfully defended the UFC lightweight championship belt in a confrontation with Alexander Volkanovski, Russian Islam Makhachev could not dislodge the Australian from the first line of the organization’s best fighters rating, regardless of weight category.
According to the updated rating, the only reshuffle in the P4P UFC list was the movement of Jon Jones from eleventh position to tenth, although the American has not entered the octagon for the past three years.
As for other significant changes, Moldovan heavyweight Sergei Spivak switched places with Russian Alexander Volkov, finishing seventh in the division, while Mexican Yair Rodriguez, who won the interim UFC Featherweight Championship belt, expectedly took first place in the list of the best fighters in his weight category. .
Recall that last weekend at UFC 284 in Perth, Alexander Volkanovski, who owns the UFC featherweight title, made an unsuccessful attempt to take away the UFC champion belt in the lightweight category from Islam Makhachev, losing in a close fight to the Russian by unanimous decision after five rounds.
