UFC rankings update: Valentina Shevchenko passes Conor McGregor

The official UFC rankings have been updated in the wake of last Saturday’s UFC Uruguay card, and as expected, there have been some big changes.

Perhaps the biggest changes in these new UFC rankings concern flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, who defeated Liz Carmouche in the UFC Uruguay main event. With this victory, Shevchenko breezed past long-absent MMA superstar Conor McGregor on the official pound-for-pound list.
