UFC Fight Night 274 took place last week at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, causing movement in some divisional rankings.

In the main event, Aljamain Sterling took on Youssef Zalal in a key featherweight bout. The former bantamweight champ made things look relatively easy, as Sterling’s experience in five-round bouts showed. “Funkmaster” climbs one spot with this win, moving up from No. 8 to No. 7. Zalal falls a couple of spots from No. 9 to No. 11.
