UFC fighter rankings: Rafael dos Anjos moves into top 3 at lightweight

It was a good weekend to be Brazilian, as Rafael dos Anjos, Thales Leites, and Wilson Reis all came away with wins at UFC Fight Night in Tulsa. Dos Anjos and Leites were the biggest movers in this week's rankings update, with the lightweight moving into the top 3 and Leites crawling closer towards top 10 territory. The pound-for-pound rankings changed up a bit following the removal of the defeated Ben Henderson, while welterweight saw a new entrant into the top 15.

You can view the complete rankings here, as well as look at the individual ballots submitted by each media member. This week, Bloody Elbow is represented by T.P. Grant and Fraser Coffeen.

Pound-For-Pound: Ben Henderson is no longer in the P4P list. Gilbert Melendez takes his spot at 15, while Alexander Gustafsson (13th) and Daniel Cormier (14th) each go up one spot. Johny Hendricks is up to 9th while Ronda Rousey completes the top 10. Chris Weidman is the new 4th best P4P fighter as Demetrious Johnson is bumped to 5th.

Women's Bantamweight: Despite her loss to Sara McMann, Lauen Murphy enters the top 15 while Jessica Racokzy falls out entirely.

Flyweight: John Lineker inches further up the rankings by surpassing Ali Bagautinov at 6th. Zach Makovsky goes up to 9th, Tim Elliott improves to 10th, and Brad Pickett falls to 11th, even though the Brit's next fight will be at bantamweight.

Bantamweight: Eddie Wineland moves down to #6 while Takeya Mizugaki takes Wineland's previous 5th spot. Wilson Reis is now un-ranked as he's switched to flyweight, and Yves Jabouin has taken his place at #15.
