Heavyweight: In
about as much of an ascension as you could expect one man to make in one card’s
time, Jairzinho Rozenstruik catapults nine positions up to #5 to draw even with
Derrick Lewis in the heavyweight rankings after defeating Alistair Overeem by
TKO. Overeem himself falls two spots to #8, and Rozenstruik’s rise causes
everyone who was beneath Overeem last week to drop a spot. Martin Tybura also
reappears in the rankings at #15.
