However, after Brendan Allen withstood the first round, he took control of the fight, wearing down de Ridder to the point where, at the end of rounds 3 and 4, he could barely stand up and return to his corner. His coach stopped the fight before the fifth round began.It was a standout performance by Allen, who was not originally scheduled for this fight. De Ridder was supposed to face Anthony Hernandez, but the latter withdrew due to an injury, giving Allen the opportunity.Allen, with his performance, sent a forceful message to the middleweight division and altered the balance of power in Alofoke Deportes&#8217; divisional ranking. He is now ahead of de Ridder.The only other weight category with changes in these rankings is heavyweight, because Francis Ngannou has not fought in over a year and was removed due to ineligibility. Changes are expected in several weight categories next week, with nine ranked fighters scheduled for UFC 321 this weekend.Here are the pound-for-pound MMA rankings and a list of the current UFC champions in all weight classes.The results are current; the rankings correspond to October 21st. To be eligible for the rankings, a fighter must have competed in the last 12 months or have a scheduled upcoming fight. Fighters who have been excluded for inactivity can only be reinstated after competing.<h2>HEAVYWEIGHT (up to 265 pounds)<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tom Aspinall<\/li><\/ul>\nPromotion: UFC
