The UFC’s first Fight Night event of the year shook up rankings in a few divisions.
UFC Fight Night 266 was headlined by a bantamweight bout between top 10 competitors Mario Bautista and Vinicius Oliveira. It was a solid outing for Bautista, but it’s crowded at the top of 135, so he stays at No. 6 for now. Oliveira’s lackluster outing results in a drop from No. 10 to No. 11.

Former UFC flyweight title challenger Kyoji Horiguchi is looking incredible in his second run with the promotion. Coming into his fight at No. 10 against No. 7 Amir Albazi, Horguchi claims the No. 7 spot while everyone below that falls one spot.
Another big move this week came in the heavyweight division. Rizvan Kuniev entered his second UFC bout against another top 10 opponent in No. 7 Jailton Almeida. It wasn’t the most memorable fight in the world, but Kuniev got the win and takes Almeida’s spot in the rankings.
