As expected, Stephen Thompson is now the No. 1 ranked welterweight contender after his win this past weekend at UFC Fight Night 89 over Rory MacDonald.

Thompson, who finished former champion Johny Hendricks earlier this year, earned a decision over MacDonald in the main event.

Donald Cerrone is now ranked in both the lightweight Top-5 and welterweight Top-15. “Cowboy” downed Patrick Cote at the recent card and debuted at No. 14 at 170 pounds. He is still ranked fourth at 155.

The other big mover was Joanne Calderwood, as she jumped five spots to No. 7 at strawweight. Calderwood defeated Valerie Letourneau, who fell four spots to ninth.
