The official Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rankings have been updated following UFC Fight Night 48: "Bisping vs. Le" (results) and UFC Fight Night 49 "Henderson vs Dos Anjos" (results) from last Saturday (Aug. 23, 2014), which took place in Macau, China and Tulsa, Okla., respectively.
Rafael dos Anjos is now the No. 3-ranked Lightweight after knocking out Ben Henderson in the first round (watch video highlights here). "Smooth," meanwhile, lost his No. 1 ranking behind division champion Anthony Pettis, plummeting all the way down to the No. 4 spot.
Henderson also lost his spot on the pound-for-pound list.
Tyron Woodley surpassed Carlos Condit as the No. 3 Welterweight in the world after knocking out Dong Hyun Kim in a little more than one minute (read full recap here).
Mores surprisingly, however, is that Michael Bisping didn't improve his Middleweight position, remaining at No. 8 in the 185-pound rankings, despite schooling Cung Le and finishing him in the fourth round (watch video highlights here) ... and leaving his face looking like this.

There you have it, another crazy shakeup in the official UFC rankings. But, are you disappointed and/or surprised that "The Count' didn't gain ground at 185 pounds after such a dominating performance over Le?
Nevertheless, you can expect these numbers to change rather quickly as UFC 177: "Dillashaw vs. Barao 2" goes down this Saturday (Aug. 30, 2014) in Sacramento, California.
