With a break in action from any major MMA events this week, the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA welterweight rankings stood firm. But that won’t be the case for long, as several ranked fighters have key bouts scheduled in the coming months. One month from now, No. 3 Jake Ellenberger and No. 6 Rory MacDonald meet in a fight that’s quickly becoming a grudge match as a war of words escalates on Twitter. Bellator MMA champ Ben Askren defends his belt just four days later.
