Little movement as Islam Makhachev vs. Dustin Poirier nears
MMA fights can be volatile, and the same goes for the rankings that sort out the hierarchy of fighters.
Just last week, ESPN’s Jeff Wagenheim wrote a feature in which Bellator bantamweight champion Patchy Mix confidently proclaimed himself the best 135-pounder in the world. He aimed to prove it Friday against Magomed Magomedov, whom he had quickly submitted less than two years earlier. But this time it was tougher going for Mix, who retained his belt via split decision.
It wasn’t an alarming result, but it did drop Mix down one spot in Brett Okamoto’s latest divisional rankings.
The only other movement in these rankings came at strawweight, where Angela Hill‘s win over Luana Pinheiro at UFC Fight Night on Saturday enabled Hill to move back into the top 10 — at Pinheiro’s expense.
These rankings will hold steady until the beginning of June, when UFC 302 features a lightweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier. Will we see more serious volatility then?
