Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya occupied the No. 3 position in the pound-for-pound rankings before his light heavyweight title fight against champion Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259. The unanimous decision loss to Blachowicz has sent The Last Stylebender three spots down to No. 6. However, Israel Adesanya is still the UFC middleweight champion. At 31 years of age, Stylebender has time on his side to climb the ladder again. Jan Blachowicz stood to gain from Israel Adesanya s loss as the Polish Powerhouse rose to the No. 8 spot from No. 14 a week prior.
