Volkan Oezdemir and Alexander Volkov climb in USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings as of June 25

After the recent events including UFC on ABC 6, Bellator Champions Series: Dublin, and 2024 PFL 5, it was necessary to update the USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings. In the main event of the 2024 PFL 5, Mads Burnell secured a significant victory over Clay Collard through a unanimous decision. However, Burnell’s win was not enough to earn him a spot in the post-season to contend for the $1 million prize.

In the BCS: Dublin headline bout, a new welterweight champion emerged as Ramazan Kuramagomedov defeated Jason Jackson unanimously on the judges’ scorecards. Meanwhile, at UFC on ABC 6 in Saudi Arabia, Robert Whittaker dominated his short-notice opponent Ikram Aliskerov. Two other fights also made an impact on the rankings, including Alexander Volkov’s decision win over Sergei Pavlovich and Volkan Oezdemir’s brutal knockout of Johnny Walker.
