Official UFC rankings updated after UFC on FOX 10: Jeremy Stephens debuts at No. 10, Bendo punished for 'Punk' performance

UFC.com has updated its "official" consensus rankings following this past Saturday's UFC on FOX 10 event, which includes three contributions from MMAmania.com staff members. Check out the big mixed martial arts (MMA) movers and shakers below.

The latest "official" Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rankings are out with the conclusion of UFC on FOX 10, which took place last weekend (Sat., Jan. 25, 2014) at United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

See the full results from "Henderson vs. Thomson" here.

Following his controversial split decision win over Josh Thomson in "The Windy City," former UFC lightweight champion Ben Henderson didn't lose his spot in the 155-pound pecking order; however, he was punished for his performance in the pound-for-pound rankings, slipping three spots to No. 12.

That's not all.

Jeremy Stephens cracked the featherweight top 10 by turning away Darren Elkins on the FOX-televised main card, while Stipe Miocic jumped up to No. 7 on the heavyweight list for knocking around former division number one contender Gabriel Gonzaga.
