The official UFC rankings have been updated after last Saturdays UFC Vegas 15 card, and there have been a handful of interesting changes.

While the card lost its originally scheduled Curtis Blaydes vs. Derrick Lewis fight at the last minute, it still featured one ranked fighter as top-15 light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith submitted Devin Clark in the short-notice main event.

That win was enough to move Smith ahead of his former victim Volkan Oezdemir in the light heavyweight rankings. Smith and Oezdemir were previously tied at No. 6, but after UFC Vegas 15, Smith stayed put at six, while Oezdemir dropped down to No. 7.
