Fresh off his finish of Anthony Pettis, interim UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway finds himself being regarded as one of the Top-10 pound-for-pound fighters in the promotion.
Holloway, who scored his 10th consecutive win with a third round finish at UFC 206, debuted in the pound-for-pound rankings at No. 10. He is likely to face Jose Aldo to unify the belts in early 2017.
After stopping Tim Kennedy, former Ultimate Fighter winner Kelvin Gastelum broke into the middleweight rankings at No. 10. Gastelum faces Vitor Belfort in 2017 at 185 pounds despite stating he plans to try welterweight again.
Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou, who both won at UFC Fight Night 102, moved up to ninth and 11th at heavyweight. Ngannou also has his next fight booked, meeting Andrei Arlovski in January.
At light heavyweight, Misha Cirkunov moved up to eighth following his win over Nikita Krylov, who fell to 10th.
