UFC Rankings updated following UFC on FOX 25 — Jon Jones continues to climb ranks ahead of title fight showdown
UFC on FOX 25 took place last weekend and the UFC has updated their rankings following their event that took place in Long Island, New York.
In the main event of the evening, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman was able to get the monkey off his back and ended his three-fight losing streak by submitting Kelvin Gastelum in the third round. With the outcome of the match, both Weidman and Gastelum did not move in the UFC middleweight rankings as they both remain at their #5 and #8 respective positions.
With UFC 214 scheduled to have three title fights and quite a few top ranked fighters on the card, the rankings will likely shake out again in about a week. Ahead of his fight against champion Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones moved up the pound-for-pound rankings up two spots to the #5 position leapfrogging UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway and UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt.
