USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, Dec. 17: Welcome to the pound-for-pound list, Alexander Volkanovski
UFC 245 featured three massive title fights, so some of the biggest names in the sport were in action this past weekend, but many of them were already at the top of their divisions.
UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and women’s double champ Amanda Nunes were already ranked No. 1 in the world, so their victories simply kept them in position. But Alexander Volkanovski was not in the same situation.
Entering the card at No. 3 in the featherweight division, Volkanovski upset Max Holloway en route to claiming the UFC featherweight title with a fantastic five-round performance. As an added bonus, he now moves up to No. 1 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie featherweight rankings, while also debuting on the pound-for-pound list at No. 11.
Volkanovski wasn’t the only one making moves, though. Check out the updated list to see where names like Petr Yan, Geoff Neal, Irene Aldana and others sit following their UFC 245 performances.
