While not the most memorable UFC event, last Saturday’s UFC 55 on ESPN prompted some changes in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings.
Of the two main card victors, the victories drew significant attention. Former UFC flyweight title contender Alex Perez secured a remarkable knockout victory over Matthäus Nicolau, earning his spot in the top 15 despite suffering his third consecutive loss. Meanwhile, Brazilian female flyweight Karine Silva emerged victorious over Ariane da Silva with a unanimous decision at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
