The official Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rankings underwent a major facelift on Monday after the world's largest combat sports promotion fired off three consecutive mixed martial arts (MMA) events, starting with UFC Fight Night 80, continuing with The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 22 Finale, and ending with UFC 194.
All of which took place from Dec. 10-12 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Now that we've had a chance to sift through some of the rubble, which produced new champions in both the featherweight and middleweight divisions (details), it's time to see how wins for Conor McGregor and Luke Rockhold -- as well as losses for Jose Aldo and Chris Weidman -- affected the top 15.
Here's what the latest ranking field looks like courtesy of UFC.com. Note: (+/- = movement in rankings, *NR = Not previously ranked).
