Modified Oct 18, 2019 10:30 GMT

UFC recently wrapped up Fight Night 161 that saw Joanna Jedrzejczyk get a big unanimous decision victory over Michelle Waterson at the end of the five-round fight.

The card also featured a big upset as Cub Swanson ended the undefeated streak of Kron Gracie in the co-main event of the evening.

Ranked #5 before the fight, Joanna's win was expected to give her a push up the rankings, however, the former Women's Strawweight Champion just gained one spot to go up to #4.

Despite the loss, Waterson didn't slide down the rankings and is currently tied at #7.
