The ‘Beast’ is back! Derrick Lewis returns to heavyweight Top 10 in latest UFC rankings update

Derrick Lewis is back in the heavyweight Top 10.

“The Black Beast” caught his 2nd straight win — and record-setting 15th UFC knockout — by planishing Rodrigo Nascimento as part of the UFC St. Louis mixed martial arts occasion last weekend at Enterprise Center in Missouri. The Brazilian, who snapped a three-fight winning streak with the loss, stays ranked at No. 15 in defeat.

Elsewhere on the charts, 170-pound striker Joaquin Buckley held his position at No. 11 in the welterweight department after outliving unranked challenger Nursulton Ruziboev. As for Carlos Ulberg, he landed at No. 11 in the 205-pound lineup by trashing Alonzo Menifield, who slipped 2 locations to No. 13.

Here’s how UFC assembles its main rankings:

Rankings were produced by a ballot panel comprised of media members. The media members were asked to choose who they feel are the leading fighters in the UFC by weight-class and pound-for-pound. A fighter is just qualified to be voted on if they remain in active status in the UFC. A fighter can appear in more than one weight department at a time. The champ and interim champ are thought about to be in the leading positions of their particular departments and for that reason are not qualified for voting by weight-class. However, the champs can be voted on for the pound-for-pound rankings.

Take a take a look at what the current rankings field appears like thanks to UFC.com. Note: (+/- = motion in rankings, T = tie, *NR = Not formerly ranked).
