On This Day Four Years Ago…

[ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 14, 2017, 12:09 PM]

Having held the second spot in the UFC’s pound for pound (P4P) rankings despite being inactive for over a year, Conor McGregor has slipped one spot to third in place of GSP

UFC 217 was the set of one of the more impressive cards in recent times.

Georges St-Pierre’s victory over Michael Bisping earned him the UFC middleweight title following an absence of four years from the sport. It seemingly did enough to convince the promotion that he was worthy of overtaking UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor in their updated list.

Former 135-pound champion Cody Garbrandt also slipped down the P4P rankings due to his TKO loss against new champion TJ Dillashaw while Rose Namajunas’ shocking women’s strawweight title victory saw Joanna Jedrzejczyk slip to 15th on the list.
