Casey O’Neill has moved down to the 15th position in the women’s flyweight rankings. She is scheduled to fight Tereza Bleda at UFC 305 in Perth next month.
Women's Strawweight
After the Saturday fight, Jandiroba has climbed two positions to reach No. 3 in the rankings, whereas Lemos has dropped two spots and is currently ranked No. 5.
UFC 304: Edwards vs Muhammad 2
This Saturday in Manchester, England, a stacked card features two title fights along with some thrilling matchups set to bring the excitement.
Welterweight champion Leon Edwards defends his title against former foe Belal Muhammad in the main event. Their initial encounter in March 2021 ended in a no contest due to an accidental eye poke, setting the stage for their anticipated rematch.
The co-main event sees a rematch between interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes. Their previous bout lasted only 15 seconds as Aspinall sustained a knee injury. Blaydes enters the fight following a notable victory over Jailton Almedia earlier this year in Miami.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the showdown between King Green and Paddy Pimblett. Green, ranked No. 15, faces the undefeated Octagon favorite Pimblett, who is on a seven-fight win streak, including a victory over Tony Ferguson in December.
The main card kicks off with a featherweight clash between No. 6 Arnold Allen and No. 10 Giga Chikadze. With the division's new champion, Ilia Topuria, this matchup holds significance in determining contenders for the title.
Following this, the flyweight division may see a new title challenger emerge from the matchup between No. 6 Muhammad Mokaev and No. 8 Manel Kape. Mokaev boasts an undefeated record of 12-0, 1 NC, while Kape is on a four-fight win streak, securing his last victory at UFC 293 in Sydney last year.
