UFC 244 was stacked with so many big-name fighters that a major shift was expected – and that’s exactly what happened in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings.
The main event at Madison Square Garden saw welterweight Jorge Masvidal (No. 4) win his third straight by defeating Nate Diaz via TKO to win the “BMF” title. And in the co-main event, Darren Till (11) made a successful middleweight debut with a split decision win over former title challenger Kelvin Gastelum (13).
UFC 244 also saw big wins from light heavyweight Corey Anderson (6), welterweight Stephen Thompson (7), heavyweight Derrick Lewis (5), and Kevin Lee in his return to lightweight (7).
