Another month of MMA, another big shakeup in the Bleacher Report rankings.
The combat sports world stopped in its tracks for UFC 196 and rightly so. Newly minted champions Conor McGregor and Holly Holm both suffered tough losses to Nate Diaz and Miesha Tate, respectively. It wasn't just the tip-top of the rankings getting shaken up, either.
Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva returned to the middleweight Top 10 following a year-long layoff due to a drug-test failure. Stephen Thompson turned the welterweight division upside down with his knockout victory of Johny Hendricks, going from the Top 10 fringe all the way to the Top Three. To top it all off, established names like Amanda Nunes, Gegard Mousasi and Donald Cerrone all benefited from wins.
So want to see where everyone stands following UFC 196? Read on and find out.
