With the UFC, PFL and ONE Championship all in action this past week, there were moves to be made in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings. In the UFC 261 main event, Kamaru Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC) delivered a stunning knockout of Jorge Masvidal (35-15 MMA, 12-8 UFC) in the main event. With the win, Usman ran his UFC start to 14 straight wins and defended his welterweight title again. And with that win, he moved up our pound-for-pound list to the No. 2 spot. In addition, Rose Namajunas (10-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) knocked out Zhang Weili (21-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) to win the women’s strawweight title for a second time – and that warranted a move up the women’s pound-for-pound chart for her, as well.
