Aljamain Sterling and Joselyne Edwards made significant moves in the latest divisional rankings following their victories at UFC Fight Night 274 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
Sterling took on Youssef Zalal in the featherweight main event and came away with the win, resulting in a climb from No. 8 to No. 7 in the rankings. Zalal’s loss saw him fall from No. 9 to No. 11.
In the co-main event, Joselyne Edwards defeated Norma Dumont and triggered one of the card’s biggest shifts. Edwards jumped from No. 11 to No. 4 in the women’s bantamweight rankings.
Dumont previously occupied the No. 4 slot at women’s bantamweight, and all of the movement has now been reflected in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings.
