MMA rankings report: Michael Page, Lorenz Larkin make moves

As we turn the page to 2020, we must take one last look back at the final meaningful event of 2019.

Bellator made its Japanese debut with the epic Bellator 237 at Saitama Super Arena just outside Tokyo on Dec. 28. Among the most noteworthy winners on the evening were two of the company’s best welterweights: Michael Page and Lorenz Larkin.

So how did these high-quality performances by “MVP” and “Da Monsoon” affect the standings at 170 pounds? And was there anything else noteworthy on the week? And most important, how did this all play out in this week’s USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings?

Let MMA Junkie’s own “Gorgeous” George Garcia and John Morgan walk you through all the changes of note in the video above.
