Jorge Masvidal took home the BMF belt at UFC 244. Douglas Lima walked away with a big check after winning the Bellator Welterweight World Grand Prix, at the same time recapturing his 170-pound championship. And for those recent achievements, these two welterweights make the biggest moves in the latest ESPN divisional rankings.
They are not alone, however, in shaking things up. Darren Till enters the middleweight rankings after winning his first bout in that division. Kevin Lee, after a successful return to lightweight, enters the 155-pound Top 10. And Yair Rodriguez, fresh off a grudge-match victory, makes his debut in the featherweight rankings.
There's movement elsewhere as well. Check out my rankings within each MMA weight division by clicking on the links below.
