The UFC’s latest pay-per-view event was the source of a number of changes in this week’s rankings. First and foremost, UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev continued to prove he’s one of the best in the world today by stopping Alexander Volkanovski in the first round of the main event. He could climb no higher than No. 1 in the lightweight division, but his performance adds to his impressive resume, resulting in movement in the pound-for-pound rankings.
