MMA divisional rankings: Benoit Saint Denis, Mauricio Ruffy rise at lightweight

Saturday’s UFC 325 was headlined by a meeting between the No. 1-ranked featherweight, champion Alexander Volkanovski, and No. 2 Diego Lopes, a fight won by the champ. But it was one weight class heavier where the fight card impacted the ESPN divisional MMA rankings.

Lightweight Benoît Saint Denis knocked out Dan Hooker in the co-main event to move up three spots to No. 7. And in the fight right before that, Mauricio Ruffy scored a knockout of Rafael Fiziev to earn a place in the top 10.

Those were the only changes in the rankings.
