Rankings #4 Update: Jones batters Teixeira

Results Over the Weekend:

UFC 172

Jon Jones #1 defeats Glover Teixeira #7 by Unanimous Decision

Anthony Johnson #24 defeats Phil Davis #2 by Unanimous Decision

Luke Rockhold #6 defeats Tim Boetsch #11 by Submission (kimura)

Jim Miller #19 defeats Yancy Medeiros by Submission (guillotine choke)

Joseph Benavidez #2 defeats Tim Elliott #7 by Submission (joe-a-constrictor)

Other Updates:

Alan Belcher #18 hasn't fought since losing to Michael Bisping #17 a year ago therefore is now inactive. So who will now enter the top 25 middleweight rankings #4?

Expect Johnson #25 to dramatically rise in the top 25 light heavyweight rankings #4 after his huge win over Davis #2.
