UFC Rankings Report: Edgar, Barboza Trending Upward
Hot off the heels of Frankie Edgar’s dominant win over Cub Swanson in the main event of last Saturday’s (Nov. 22, 2014) UFC Fight Night 57, “The Answer” leapfrogged Swanson to move up to No. 2 in the stacked featherweight division.
After finishing Dennis Bermudez at November 15’s UFC 180, Ricardo Lamas also overtook Swanson, who fell two spots to No. 4, to take the No. 3 spot.
The other major rankings shift was lightweight Edson Barboza’s five-spot jump to land at No. 6 after he beat Bobby Green by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 57. “King” dropped two spots to No. 9.
