At middleweight, Abus Magomedov rose two spots to No. 12, and Shara Magomedov appeared at No. 15. Michael Venom Page was removed from the voting sheet after completing his UFC contract in Paris, where he previously sat at No. 8.<\/p>\n

Valentina Shevchenko<\/a> remains listed as women’s flyweight<\/a> champion despite vacating the belt. The rankings are expected to reflect the change after Natalia Silva and Wang Cong fight for the vacant title in October.<\/p>\n
