Second Jose Aldo-Conor McGregor Trailer, Olympian Issues Open Challenge, UFC Rankings Movement

- Yesterday we showed you the high-budget trailer the UFC had produced to promote July's UFC 189 show featuring Conor McGregor vs. Jose Aldo. Brazilian television network Globo has now produced their own, showing a 16-bit version of Jose Aldo meeting Conor McGregor. You can see video of the trailer above.

- Olympic silver medalist and former UFC title challenger Sara McMann has issued an open challenge for this July. McMann appeared on today's MMA Hour and said that the UFC wants her on the July 15 show in San Diego California.

Top challenger Cat Zingano is currently on the shelf, and McMann said that Canadian Sarah Kaufman has repeatedly turned down a fight against her. McMann and her boyfriend Trent Goodale actively campaigned for the fight on social media last year.

- This weekend's UFC 187 event caused major changes in the UFC Rankings, with two-thirds of the UFC Light Heavyweight division moving up by default. Daniel Cormier, who was ranked third, is now in the champion spot, allowing everyone else to move up. Ryan Bader also improved two spots to #3, and Jan Blachowicz shot up 3 spots to #12.

Show stealer Andrei Arlovki catapulted his way into the number 4 spot, up from last week's number 8. The aforementioned Cormier also showed up on the pound-for-pound rankings at number 9 after previously being unranked. You can see the full rankings at this link.
