UFC rankings updated following UFC Fight Night 115 – pound-for-pound rankings shift again

The UFC has updated their rankings following UFC Fight Night 115 and there has been a shift once again at the top in the highly debated pound-for-pound rankings.

With Jon Jones facing a second potential anti-doping violation with USADA, both Demetrious Johnson and Conor McGregor went up in the pound-for-pound rankings without being active in the UFC since Jones’ UFC 214 competition.

The heavyweight rankings had a big shift as Alexander Volkov beat Stefan Struve by TKO in the UFC Fight Night 115 main event.
