Updated UFC rankings – Holly Holm drops while Ronda Rousey moves up

The UFC rankings were updated after the UFC on FOX 20 event that took place over the weekend.

The divisions that seen the most change were the women’s bantamweight division and the men’s featherweight division.

Holly Holm fell two spots to #4 after being beaten by Valentina Shevchenko, who jumped up four spots to #3. Ronda Rousey went up in the rankings to #2 even with not having a fight since losing to Holm in November.

The men’s featherweight division had the majority of the top ranked fighters jump up a spot with Chad Mendes being removed from the top 15 after being suspended for two years for testing positive for banned substances.
