Chinese fighter Song Yadong proved that rankings carry no weight inside the octagon: "Song Yadong has entered the top 5 after a thrilling upset in his home country". At UFC Fight Night 286 the clear underdog stopped favourite Umar Nurmagomedov by knockout in the second round. The win lifted Song from seventh to fourth, the very place his opponent had occupied. The octagon spares no one. In the women's division, Denise Gomes, previously outside the rankings, beat fifth-ranked Yan Xiaonan in the opening round. Gomes surged into seventh, while the defeated Xiaonan slipped to eighth. A single evening rewrote the balance of power across both divisions and showed that in sport, rankings guarantee nobody a future victory.
