Magomedov Brothers Move Up at Middleweight

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.

Valentina Shevchenko remains listed as women's flyweight 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.

The UFC's Meta rankings, which use a mathematical algorithm, will update later this week and may value Parnasse's win over Hooker differently. Noche UFC in Glendale next weekend features ranked fighters at featherweight, flyweight, and women's flyweight.
