Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic took care of business in dominant fashion at this past weekend’s UFC 220, and that is reflected in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA pound-for-pound rankings. Cormier (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) retained the light heavyweight title with what proved to be a dominant win over upstart challenger Volkan Oezdemir, pounding him out for a second-round TKO . Miocic (18-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC), meanwhile, came back from a slugfest of a first round to out-class Ngannou for a unanimous decision to retain the heavyweight crown, with all three judges scoring it 50-44 in his favor. As a result, Cormier and Miocic have climbed to Nos. 3 and 4, respectively, in the pound-for-pound rankings, leapfrogging UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor, who falls from 3 to 5.
