With another Fight Night event wrapped up, the results of the fights led to the UFC rankings undergoing significant changes. Heavyweight star Marcin Tybura also jumped in the rankings after his win over Tai Tuivasa, putting undisputed champion Jon Jones and interim champion Tom Aspinall on notice.

The month of March has been an exciting one for UFC fans around the world. After a grand UFC 299 PPV that exceeded expectations, fans witnessed some amazing fights at UFC Vegas 88, with the main event propelling Marcin Tybura a few inches closer to becoming one of the top contenders in his division.

Marcin Tybura’s rise in UFC rankings puts Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall on alert

‘Tybur’ has had a mixed record in the UFC ever since he made his debut in 2016. However, he has lost only once in his last four fights and his recent submission win over Tai Tuivasa has helped make a significant jump in the rankings. The 38-year-old Polish MMA star jumped from the 10th position in the heavyweight rankings to the 8th position as Tuivasa dropped down from the 8th sport to the 10th spot after suffering a fourth consecutive loss.

While Marcin Tybura has not yet broken into the top 5, he is still fast climbing the ranks as Jon Jones and Ton Aspinall get alerted of his emergence as a credible contender. Given that a fight between ‘Bones’ and the interim champion may not take place anytime soon, there could be a chance that we see Tybura get the chance to fight Aspinall in the not-so-distant future. Apart from the change in ‘Tybur’s ranking, there were a few other fighters who saw changes in the rankings as well.
