It was a busy month for MMA in every decision except heavyweight. With Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos, Alistair Overeem vs. Brock Lesnar and Daniel Cormier vs. Josh Barnett on the horizon, the biggest heavyweight bouts of the past month featured Travis Browne scoring an underwhelming win over Rob Broughton and Stefan Struve submitting Pat Barry.
Light Heavyweight
1. Jon Jones
2. Rashad Evans
3. Lyoto Machida
4. Quinton Jackson
5. Dan Henderson
6. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua
7. Gegard Mousasi
8. Thiago Silva
9. Forrest Griffin
10. Rich Franklin
Jon Jones scored the most impressive win of his career in his first UFC Light Heavyweight Title defense at UFC 135. Quinton Jackson showed up in great shape and kept pushing Jones, but he was no match for Jones' much more varied and dynamic offense. That would have seemed to set up Rashad Evans finally getting his shot at Jones, but due to a hand injury he was passed in line again. Lyoto Machida will receive the next title shot at Jones December in Toronto. Evans took the news in stride and will fight the winner.
Middleweight
