Bantamweights are on the move. With the retirement (for now?) of former two-division champion Henry Cejudo, Marlon Moraes has moved up from No. 2 to the top spot in the ESPN men's 135-pound rankings.
Right behind Moraes is Aljamain Sterling, who needed less than a minute and a half to submit fellow contender Cory Sandhagen on June 6. Petr Yan, whom UFC president Dana White has said will fight Jose Aldo for the vacant title, moves up a spot to No. 3.
The bantamweight who makes the biggest jump, though, is former champion Cody Garbrandt, who on that same June 6 card broke out of a three-fight skid and an absence of more than a year by scoring a one-punch knockout of Raphael Assuncao. He's back.
Bantamweights aside, there is movement in several divisions. Check out my rankings within each MMA weight classes by clicking on the links below.
