UFC rankings update: Urijah Faber still ranked above Jimmie Rivera, Stipe Miocic climbs pound-for-pound rankings

UFC 203 shook up the UFC rankings a bit with some key fights taking place.

20-1 bantamweight Jimmie Rivera extended his winning streak to an impressive 19 wins in a row, with four of those fights being in the UFC. Rivera outpointed Urijah Faber in “The California Kid’s” first fight since losing a unanimous decision title fight against the UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz.

Despite the win, Rivera is still one spot behind Faber on the UFC’s newly updated rankings report coming in at #7 on the UFC bantamweight rankings, jumping up five spots.

Rivera recently said on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour that he is looking to get in a number one contender’s position, looking for a fight with former champion TJ Dillashaw.

In the pound-for-pound rankings, UFC heavyweight champion worked his way up two spots with his knockout victory over Alistair Overeem in the main event of UFC 203. Miocic currently is ranked #6 on the pound-for-pound list with UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson sitting at the #1 spot.
