Derek Brunson scored an impressive unanimous decision victory against Kevin Holland last Saturday at UFC Vegas 22 and has since been rewarded with #4 next to his name on the official UFC middleweight rankings.
But is this ranking too high?
Brunson defeated Holland (#10) and has shot above Darren Till, Marvin Vettori, and Jack Hermansson. Brunson is now only behind Jared Cannonier, Paulo Costa, and Robert Whittaker.
