Ian Machado Garry did not meet expectations at UFC 303. Going into his fight with Michael "Venom" Page, fans were anticipating a striking battle between two masterful standup welterweights. Instead, Machado Garry used his work-in-progress ground game to seize advantage over Page and remain undefeated by winning a unanimous decision.
It was the biggest victory of Machado Garry's career, and as a result, he moves up in Brett Okamoto's divisional rankings.
That is the only movement in this latest update to the weight class top-10 rankings. Saturday's main event winner, Alex Pereira, was already No. 1 at light heavyweight, so there was nowhere for him to rise.
