Fresh off his win at UFC 197 over Rafael Natal, Robert Whittaker now finds himself just outside the Top-5 in the middleweight division.
Whittaker surpassed Lyoto Machida for sixth in the latest rankings.
Tony Ferguson, Donald Cerrone, Nate Diaz and Edson Barboza all climbed at lightweight, moving ahead of Anthony Pettis. Barboza earned a decision over Pettis, as the former champion lost for the third straight time.
Yair Rodriguez, another UFC 197 winner, debuted inside the featherweight Top-15, coming in at No. 14.
Also of note, despite his first round finish of Henry Cejudo, Demetrious Johnson did not overtake Jon Jones for the top spot in the pound-for-pound rankings.
