Russian fighters have strengthened their positions in the updated ranking
The Russians have taken a step forward.
The strongest league in the world updated the ratings of fighters in different weight categories, and two Russian fighters improved their positions.
In the light heavyweight division, Magomed Ankalaev stepped up from third to second, despite a draw in his last fight with Jan Blachowicz.
In the same weight category, former eighth Russian Nikita Krylov now occupies seventh place.
The light heavyweight title has recently been owned by US representative Jamal Hill, who defeated Brazilian Glover Teixeira on October 22 in a fight for the belt.
