UFC Rankings Update: Jose Aldo Enters Bantamweight Top 10

Aldo

We have a new UFC rankings update to pass along after last week’s UFC 245 pay-per-view (PPV) event.

Of the most notable changes, Jose Aldo, who lost his bantamweight debut to Marlon Moraes in a fight that many thought the former truly won, has entered the top 10 at 135 pounds. Also, newly-crowned UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has entered the pound-for-pound rankings at No. 9.

Check out the full UFC rankings update, courtesy of MMA Mania, below.
