The official Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rankings have been updated following the UFC 177: "Dillashaw vs. Soto" pay-per-view (PPV) event, which took place last Sat. night (Aug. 30, 2014) at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California.

With Renan Barao unable to compete, he falls one spot in the pound-for-pound rankings, right behind Ronda Rousey (No. 8), who remains undefeated and queen of the women's bantamweight division. Speaking of which, the rankings panel has once again shamed itself.
Bethe Correia at No. 9?
Jessica Eye has yet to win a fight inside the Octagon and she's ranked No. 6, while Liz Carmouche has a UFC record of 1-3 and she's ranked No. 7. "Pitbull," by contrast, is undefeated at 9-0 and 3-0 under the ZUFFA banner. Zero love for the Brazilian!
