Official UFC rankings updated after UFC 166: 'Cigano' still second best, Kaufman tumbles to fifth

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) "official" rankings are once again getting a makeover.

The media rankings are listed on UFC.com, covering all eight weight classes (including women) plus a pound-for-pound list. Rankings are updated approximately 36 hours after each UFC event, which means we're back with another installment following this past weekend's (Oct. 19, 2013) UFC 166 show in Houston, Texas.

Surprisingly, the promotion's 265-pound division didn't get the major overhaul some were expecting. Despite getting torn to shred by Cain Velasquez (see it again here), Junior dos Santos is still the second-best heavyweight fighter on the planet.

Daniel Cormier, despite his plan to head south for the winter, is the third.

But the "Velasquez vs. Dos Santos 3" pay-per-view (PPV) did cause some turmoil in the women's 135-pound division, thanks to a hotly-contested scrap between Sarah Kaufman and Jessica Eye. The decision was questionable, but nevertheless sends the former Strikeforce champ to the middle of the pack.

That's not all.
