UFC Rankings Update: Rousey back in P4P list, Anderson Silva ranked, Rothwell & Rivera move up

UFC New Jersey has come and gone and just as it does after every UFC fight weekend, the rankings charts saw some movement.

Although neither fought, two familiar names have returned to respective lists.  First, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey returned to the pound-for-pound rankings list, while former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva returned to the middleweight rankings.  Jimmie Rivera entered the top 15 bantamweight list after he earned a victory over Iuri Alcantara this weekend in Newark.
