UFC rankings updated after UFC 187: Daniel Cormier debuts on pound-for-pound list, Andrei Arlovski cracks top 5

Shake it up!

Lots of movers and shakers in this week's Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rankings update, particularly in the light heavyweight division, after the mixed martial arts (MMA) action at the UFC 187 pay-per-view (PPV) event last Saturday night (May 23, 2015) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For all the "Johnson vs. Cormier" news that's fit to print, click here.

Daniel Cormier walked out of "Sin City" with the light heavyweight championship, as well as a spot on the pound-for-pound list, thanks to a third-round submission win over Anthony Johnson (replay). In the UFC 187 co-main event, Vitor Belfort came up empty against Chris Weidman (watch it) and dropped a spot at middleweight.

In addition, "The Phenom" was completely removed from the 205-pound class.

Here's what the entire ranking field looks like courtesy of UFC.com, which also reflects Andrei Arlovski's big win over Travis Browne with a spot in the top five (highlights).
