Over the weekend (Sat. March 2, 2019) the UFC 235 pay-per-view (PPV) certainly brought about a ton of changes.
Tyron Woodley was unseated as welterweight champion by Kamaru Usman. “The Nigerian Nightmare” dominated Woodley for five rounds inside the Octagon. Also, former ONE and Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren made his UFC debut with a first-round submission win over Robbie Lawler.
And of course, ex-UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt suffered his third-straight knockout defeat against Pedro Munhoz to open up the main card. Check out the updated UFC rankings here below:
