Giga Chikadze expected bigger advancement in the UFC’s official featherweight rankings after his main event win over Edson Barboza, and he’s disappointed he didn’t get it. Chikadze (14-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) continued the hot start to his octagon tenure this past Saturday when he scored a third-round TKO of veteran Edson Barboza in the UFC on ESPN 30 headliner in Las Vegas. Chikadze secured multiple knockdowns en route to the stoppage, which he thought served as a breakout performance in his career. The members of the rankings panel didn’t align with Chikadze’s confidence, though. He came into the fight at No.
