Movsar Evloev was unranked going into his UFC fight with top-five featherweight Lerone Murphy over the weekend, but that was only because Evloev had not fought in over a year and was ineligible for the ESPN divisional rankings.
After squeezing out a majority decision in the battle of unbeatens at UFC Fight Night in London, Evloev (20-0) is back in his familiar No. 2 spot — right where he had been before being removed from the top 10 in December.
To make room for Evloev, the rest of the 145-pound top 10 drops down one position each. Murphy (17-1-1) lands at No. 5 after Saturday’s highly competitive bout.
Featherweight is the only weight class with changes in the rankings.
Here are the ESPN pound-for-pound MMA rankings and a list of current UFC champions in all weight classes.
Results are current; rankings as of March 24. To be eligible for the rankings, a fighter must have competed over the past 12 months or must have an upcoming fight booked. Fighters who have been dropped for inactivity can be reinstated only after they compete.
