The Australian crowd may not have approved, but Curtis Blaydes picked up an important win over Mark Hunt in the co-main event of UFC 221. With the result, “Razor” Blaydes now stands at No. 8 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA heavyweight rankings, edging just ahead of Hunt. The middleweight division was impacted by the night’s main event, with Yoel Romero picking up a devastating knockout win over Luke Rockhold , but the undercard saw a few fighters turn in solid performances, making their way into the honorable mentions in their respective divisions, priming themselves top break into the official top-15 list: Australians Tyson Pedro and Alex Volkanovski . Both the UFC and Bellator host cards this weekend, so expect further movement across the board. Ahead of those clashes, check out the latest rankings across the board
