The latest UFC event caused moves in a few divisions.
In the main event of UFC Fight Night 261, former lightweight champ Charles Oliveira submitted short-notice opponent Mateusz Gamrot. The No. 4-ranked lightweight sent Brazil home on a high note, but given the names above him in the divison, there’s no movement in this week’s update.
However, the co-feature of the event produced a move in the bantamweight division.
Former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo took on Montel Jackson. The fight wasn’t the most exciting of the card, but it proved Figueiredo could protect his position against someone aiming to enter the elite of the division. Entering the week at No. 9, Figueiredo climbed one spot to No. 8, while Jackson stays put at No. 13.
