There was plenty of major MMA action this past Friday and Saturday, which meant plenty of potential for climbs up or down the rankings ladder.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Derrick Lewis (24-7 MMA, 15-5 UFC) picked up a big knockout win over Aleksei Oleinik (59-14-1 MMA, 8-5 UFC) in the UFC on ESPN+ 32 main event. And former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman (15-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) got back on track with a win over Omari Akhmedov (20-5-1 MMA, 8-4-1 UFC). But was there room for either of them to move up in the rankings?
What about UFC winners Yana Kunitskaya (13-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) and Beneil Dariush (19-4-1 MMA, 13-4-1 UFC), as well as Bellator 243 winners Michael Chandler (21-5 MMA, 18-5 BMMA) and Timothy Johnson (14-6 MMA, 2-2 BMMA)? Did they find themselves moving up or entering the charts?
Check out all the movement in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie in the drop-down menus above ahead of another big opportunity for ladder movement Saturday with UFC 252.
