However, her performance on Saturday&#8217;s card could have put her on track for another opportunity. Furthermore, her position in Alofoke Deportes&#8217; divisional ranking has improved.<p>Seven months ago, Suarez, undefeated until that moment, faced Zhang Weili for the championship, after dominating her opponents with her wrestling. Although Zhang defended her title successfully, Suarez&#8217;s victory on Saturday over Amanda Lemos propels her to fourth place in the rankings.<\/p>The main event on Saturday, with Diego Lopes&#8217; victory, keeps him in the number 3 spot in the featherweight division.Other changes in the rankings were due to the requirement that fighters compete in the last year or have a scheduled fight. Dan Hooker, Arnold Allen, and Norma Dumont were removed from the rankings due to inactivity.Here are the MMA rankings from Alofoke Deportes and a list of the current UFC champions.The results are current; rankings updated as of September 16th. To be eligible for the rankings, a fighter must have competed in the last 12 months or have a scheduled fight. Fighters who have been removed for inactivity can only be reinstated after competing.<p><strong>HEAVYWEIGHT<\/strong><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2024%2F0729%2Fr1365311_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Tom Aspinall ya era el n\u00famero 1 en peso pesado, pero ahora el cintur\u00f3n de la UFC que lleva ya no tiene la etiqueta de &#8220;interino&#8221;.<br>Richard Sellers\/PA via AP<\/figcaption><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1.
