USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, March 12: Jack Della Maddalena enters welterweight top 10

UFC 299 at Kaseya Center in Miami produced a few moves in this week’s rankings update.

Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley retained his throne by soundly defeating Marlon Vera in the main event. “Sugar” can rise no higher than No. 1 in the division, but he rises a few spots in the men’s pound-for-pound rankings, claiming the No. 9 spot.

Elsewhere on the main card, Jack Della Maddalena picked up the biggest win of his career thus far by stopping Gilbert Burns in the third round. Through seven fights in the UFC, Della Maddalena is undefeated, and rapidly ascending to the top of the welterweight division. He climbs this week from No. 14 to No. 7 at 170 pounds.
