UFC 286 doesn t cause any major changes in the rankings. UFC 286 is in the books, and a lot of the drama surrounding it has more to do with people s commentary and the presence of Colby Covington than the actual outcome of the fights. Leon Edwards cemented his welterweight reign with a second win over former top P4P fighter Kamaru Usman in the headliner, and Justin Gaethje picked up a big win in the co-main over Rafael Fiziev.

As for the rankings? None of those four moved at all in the their respective divisions, and only Usman s P4P ranking took a hit.
