USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, April 20: A move for Robert Whittaker on P4P list

With the UFC, Bellator and ONE Championship all in action this past week, there were moves to be made in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings.

In the UFC on ESPN 22 main event, Robert Whittaker (23-5 MMA, 14-3 UFC) outworked Kelvin Gastelum (17-7 MMA, 11-7 UFC) for five rounds. Whittaker, a former middleweight champion, doesn’t have leeway to make a leap at 185 absent reclaiming the title. But on the pound-for-pound list, there was indeed a move he could make.

At Bellator 257, Vadim Nemkov (14-2 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) defended his light heavyweight title for the first time and advanced in the tournament with a hard-fought win over Phil Davis (22-6 MMA, 9-3 BMMA). So how far did Nemkov move at light heavyweight?

Check out the drop-down menus above to see all the latest moves in this week’s rankings.
