UFC rankings update: Jon Jones still ranked behind Daniel Cormier on p4p list

The UFC rankings have been updated in the wake of last Saturday’s UFC 232 card, and as expected, there have been some major changes.

After defeating Alexander Gustafsson in the UFC 232 main event, Jon Jones is once again perched atop the light heavyweight rankings, though he still sits behind Daniel Cormier — a man he’s beaten previously — on the pound-for-pound list.

Amanda Nunes, meanwhile, took a rocket-fuelled rise up the pound-for-pound rankings, climbing six spots after her first-round knockout of the seemingly unbeatable Cris Cyborg.

Finally, other UFC 232 main card winners like Alexander Volkanovski and Corey Anderson all made big jumps in their respective divisions.

Without further ado, here’s how the UFC rankings look after UFC 232 (h/t MyMMANews.com).
