Latest UFC rankings update: Michael Johnson jumps four spots after smashing Dustin Poirier

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently tied a ribbon around its UFC Fight Night 94 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which took place last Sat. night (Sept. 17, 2016) inside State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas (results), and there was a lot to talk about when all was said and done.

You can thank Michael Johnson and Derek Brunson for that.

"The Menace" reclaimed his spot among the top lightweight contenders with a blistering first-round knockout over Dustin Poirier (see it). Brunson, meanwhile, put the rest of the 185-pound division on notice by knocking around The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 15 finalist Uriah Hall (replay)
