USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, March 30: Francis Ngannou joins pound-for-pound list

With his scintillating win over Stipe Miocic to claim the UFC’s heavyweight title, Francis Ngannou is making moves in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings.

With his second-round knockout, Ngannou (16-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) earned UFC gold and ascends to No. 1 in latest heavyweight rankings, trading places with Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC), who falls to No. 2. Meanwhile, “The Predator” also enters the pound-for-pound list for the first time, entering the list in a big way by debuting at No. 6.

But the main event wasn’t the only contest at this past weekend’s UFC 260 that impacted the rankings. Take a look at the newest welterweight list, as well, after Vicente Luque (20-7-1 MMA, 13-3 UFC) picked up a “Fight of the Night” win over Tyron Woodley (19-7-1 MMA, 9-6-1 UFC) – and check out all of the divisions ahead of the return of Bellator this weekend. April is sure to bring a ton of movement with an absolutely loaded schedule of events.
