UFC Fight Night 246 took place last weekend in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and it produced a key update in the boys’s flyweight rankings.
Former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno turned in a dominant performance against Amir Albazi within the important event. Moreno controlled the fight from starting to finish, only losing one round on one judge’s scorecard.
Entering the week at No. 5, Moreno replaces Albazi at No. 3, who falls down one spot on this week’s rankings update.
The co-main event featured a top 10 women’s flyweight bout between No. 4 Erin Blanchfield and No. 9 Rose Namajunas. Blanchfield needed to dig deep to beat the early advantage of the previous strawweight champion, but she pulled out an enormous win to maintain her name in title contention.
