USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, Sept. 27: Leah McCourt climbs at women’s featherweight
The calendar for major MMA events was quite thin this past week, creating minimal movement in the Sept. 27 edition of the USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings.
Bellator 285 took center stage in Dublin, Ireland, bringing a main event matchup between former UFC lightweight champion and two-division Bellator title challenger Benson Henderson and Ireland’s own Peter Queally.
A women’s featherweight matchup between Leah McCourt and Dayana Silva took place on the main card. McCourt picked up a unanimous decision win, improving to 5-1 over the past 36 months. Entering the week at No. 13, she moves up to the No. 10 spot, behind the woman who recently defeated her, Sinead Kavanagh.
