USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA rankings, Nov. 27: Francis Ngannou starts the climb back

After a rough 2018 so far, Francis Ngannou was badly in need of a win.

Ngannou (12-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) got it in a big way this past Saturday with a quick first-round knockout of Curtis Blaydes (10-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in a main-event rematch at UFC Fight Night 141 in Beijing.

Earlier this year, Ngannou lost a title shot to then-champion Stipe Miocic in Boston. He followed that up with a staring-contest loss to Derrick Lewis, giving him two straight setbacks after a perfect 6-0 start to his UFC tenure. Those losses also meant he dropped in the rankings.
