The men’s bantamweight and flyweight divisions have been in flux ever since Henry Cejudo, who at one point ruled both weight classes, stepped away from the sport.
In recent weeks, however, both divisions have found new champions. Petr Yan won the vacant 135-pound belt with a fifth-round TKO of former featherweight titlist Jose Aldo on July 11. And one week later, Deiveson Figueiredo filled the void at 125 pounds, earning the vacant championship with a first-round submission of Joseph Benavidez.
Yan also captured the top spot in the ESPN men’s 135-pound rankings.
Figueiredo remains at No. 2 at 125, behind former UFC champ Demetrious Johnson, who now competes for One Championship.
