Brandon Moreno went into his June 12 challenge of UFC men's flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo with confidence from their majority draw back in December. Moreno then took control of the rematch, won by third-round submission and walked away with the title.

As a result, the 27-year-old Mexican -- his country's first UFC champ -- also takes over at No. 1 in the ESPN men's flyweight rankings.

There was upward movement in the women's 125-pound rankings as well, with both Katlyn Chookagian and Lauren Murphy gaining ground on the strength of recent victories.
