UFC Rankings Update: Jairzinho Rozenstruik shoots up in the Heavyweight rankings 

The routine UFC rankings update saw a few major changes across many divisions in the promotion.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik's last-gasp knockout over Alaister Overeem at the recently concluded main event of UFC on ESPN 7 has taken the Surinamese fighter nine spots up to #5 in the rankings.

Liz Carmouche's release from the UFC meant that almost every fighter in the Women's Flyweight division climbed up by a spot.

Rob Font also moved up to No.9 in the Bantamweight division after his win over Ricky Simon which was also partly due to Cody Stamann dropping down to No.10 due to his draw against Song Yadong.

Gilbert Burns, who is on a four-fight win streak, moved to No.12 in the Welterweight division. Aspen Ladd moved to No.3 on the heels of her knockout win against Yana Kunitskaya.
