UFC Rankings Update: Jan Blachowicz Passes Up Daniel Cormier

After the UFC Rio Rancho event this past weekend, we have a UFC rankings update to pass along. In the main event of the night, Jan Blachowicz knocked out Corey Anderson in their light heavyweight matchup, and has now surpassed former division champ Daniel Cormier in the rankings, taking the No. 4 spot.

Blachowicz could very well be next in line for 205-pound champion Jon Jones, who was sitting cageside for the event. With that being said, you can check out the full UFC rankings update here below, courtesy of MMA Mania.
