USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA rankings, Jan. 29: How far did Ryan Bader climb up P4P list?

Ryan Bader made history this past Saturday night – but how far did it catapult him up the most important rankings list in the sport?

Bader (27-5 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) needed just 35 seconds to knock out Russian legend Fedor Emelianenko (38-6 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) to win the heavyweight title in the Bellator 214 main event. That made him the second two-division champion in Bellator history – but the first to hold two titles at the same time.
