UFC legend Conor McGregor has dropped from the UFC lightweight rankings, marking his first time out of any top 15 in the promotion since 2014.
The former two-weight world champion had been hanging on to his ranking at 155lb by the skin of his teeth, holding just one win in the division during his time in the UFC. That victory was his world title win over Eddie Alvarez, now gone from the promotion, and he has since lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier twice at lightweight.
McGregor also held a spot at welterweight briefly, having beaten Nate Diaz and Donald Cerrone at the weight, both of whom were previously ranked. But when he decided to make a serious run at lightweight by going back down for his series of fights with Poirier in 2021, he dropped from contention at 170lb.
