Making Sense of the Updated Athlete Rankings After UFC 245

Last Saturday’s UFC 245 was the final UFC pay-per-view of the decade, and with three title fights and a host of meaningful matchups on the lineup, it was suitably stacked.

In the main event, we watched on as UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman weathered some early adversity to successfully defend his title with a fifth-round TKO of his arch nemesis Colby Covington. Earlier in the evening, we saw Alexander Volkanovski swipe the UFC featherweight belt from the waist of long-time champion Max Holloway, and Amanda Nunes defend her bantamweight title with an impressive decision win over Germaine de Randamie.
