As they do after each event, the UFC released updated rankings after a select group of media members ranked fighters in every division.
This past weekend the UFC held UFC Fight Night 92 in Salt Lake City, Utah featuring a couple key match ups ranking wise, but most noticeable were the removal of Jon Jones from the pound for pound and lightheavyweight rankings and Brock Lesnar from the heavyweight rankings.

Lesnar and Jones both failed USADA drug testing surrounding their fights at UFC 200. Jones’ failed a test prior to the fight and was pulled from the event. Lesnar also failed a drug test prior to the event, but the results were not revealed until after. Lesnar also failed the drug test the night of his fight.
No official suspension has been handed down by the UFC, but it is likely both will be out of the Octagon for over a year and for Lesnar, maybe forever.
