UFC Fight Night 275 took place last week at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, and PFL hosted an event in Sioux Falls, S.D., creating movement in some divisional rankings.
In the main event, Carlos Prates defeated his second former champion by making it look relatively easy against Jack Della Maddalena. Before the fight, Prates was ranked No. 6 in the welterweight division. After, he climbs to No. 4, while the former JDM, the former No. 2, falls to No. 5.

In the co-main event, lightweight Quillan Salkilld remained hot against Beneil Dariush. Salkilld needed less than one round to close the show, making a statement that he’s ready to take on the top names in the division. Salkilld enters the rankings at No. 14, taking Dariush’s former spot. Considering the high-level opposition of Dariush, despite a 1-4 run as of late, keeps the final ranking for now at No. 15.
