The UFC Meta Rankings<\/a> have been updated following the UFC 332 MMA event<\/a> last weekend in Salt Lake City, and top Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) prospect Payton Talbott has snatched former two-time Flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo\u2019s spot in the rankings, knocking him out of the rankings, just like he knocked him out in Utah (watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Former NFL Linebacker Anthony Wint entered the rankings after just two fights in the promotion (fighting cans<\/a>). Johnny Walker also entered the Heavyweight rankings after starching Mick Parkin in under four minutes (watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n
