Champion : Chris Weidman
1 Anderson Silva
2 Lyoto Machida
3 Vitor Belfort
4 Jacare Souza
5 Luke Rockhold
6 Tim Kennedy
7 Gegard Mousasi
8 Michael Bisping
9 CB Dollaway
10 Yoel Romero +1
11 Costas Philippou -1
12 Thales Leites +3
13 Mark Munoz
14 Tim Boetsch
15 Francis Carmont -3
Despite earning an impressive win over Cung Le, Bisping’s ranking did not change. Cung Le was not ranked so the non-movement makes sense. The big mover in the middleweight division was Thales Leites who moved up three spots with a knockout of Francis Carmont. Carmont dropped three spots.
