Official UFC rankings updated after UFC Fight Night 38: Dan Henderson jumps two spots to No. 6 by smashing Shogun Rua

Age ain't nuttin' but a numbah...

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight contender Dan Henderson is back in the mix after pummeling Mauricio Rua last Sunday night in Brazil (watch it). Not only did "Hendo" snap a three-fight losing streak, he also jumped two spots in the official rankings.

"Shogun" falls to No 7.

Elsewhere on the charts, Lyoto Machida bounced Vitor Belfort from his spot because the media hates "The Phenom," or TRT, or both. I'm not sure how else to explain their change in position since Belfort was ahead of "The Dragon" just seven days ago and nothing has changed since then.

Well, almost nothing.
