USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, April 27: Kamaru Usman, Rose Namajunas move up P4P lists

With the UFC, PFL 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 261 main event, Kamaru Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC) delivered a stunning knockout of Jorge Masvidal (35-15 MMA, 12-8 UFC) in the main event. With the win, Usman ran his UFC start to 14 straight wins and defended his welterweight title again. And with that win, he moved up our pound-for-pound list to the No. 2 spot.

In addition, Rose Namajunas (10-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) knocked out Zhang Weili (21-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) to win the women’s strawweight title for a second time – and that warranted a move up the women’s pound-for-pound chart for her, as well.

And at the PFL’s first event of the season, Bubba Jenkins will make his first appearance on the featherweight list after his upset of two-time PFL winner Lance Palmer.

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