USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, July 5: Big moves at middleweight

International Fight Week in Las Vegas was capped off by UFC 276 at T-Mobile Arena, an event that produced a number of moves in this week’s rankings update.

The division which saw the most moves was the middleweight division, which saw its champion Israel Adesanya and other contenders in action.

In the main event of the pay-per-view event, Adesanya racked up another title defense by outpointing Jared Cannonier over the course of 25 minutes. Entering the week, Cannonier held the No. 3 spot, and after his title-challenge loss, he falls to No. 4 this week.

This biggest move of the week came from Adesanya’s next potential opponent, Alex Pereira, who knocked out No. 7 Sean Strickland on the main card. Pereira was not ranked entering the event, but shoots up the ladder to the No. 6 spot.

The co-main event saw the end of a rivalry, as featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski picked up his third win over Max Holloway in a dominant unanimous decision win. While Volkanovski can get no higher than No. 1 in the featherweight ranks, he does climb a spot in the pound-for-pound list from No. 4 to No. 3.

Check out all of the other moves in this week’s rankings update following UFC 276 in Las Vegas.
