UFC 311 took place this past Saturday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., and it produced a few updates across multiple divisions.

In the main event, Islam Makhachev made quick work of short-notice opponent Renato Moicano, winning the fight by submission in the first round to defend his lightweight title. In the co-feature, Merab Dvalishvili ended the undefeated run of Umar Nurmagomedov to retain his bantamweight crown.

As a result of both of their performances, they both make moves up the men’s pound for pound rankings.
