Following this past weekend’s (Sat. October 7, 2017) UFC 216 pay-per-view (PPV) the updated UFC rankings are in and newly-crowned interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson has made the pound-for-pound (P4P) list.

In the main event of the card then-No. 2-ranked 155-pounder Tony Ferguson downed Kevin Lee via third round submission with a triangle choke to secure the interim title. The co-main event saw P4P king Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson set a record-breaking 11th consecutive title defense when he submitted Ray Borg with a ridiculous suplex-to-armbar to retain his flyweight crown.

Also on the card was a heavyweight match-up between former champion Fabricio Werdum, who easily submitted Walt Harris via armbar just a minute into their fight. You can check out the full UFC rankings update here below (courtesy of MMA Mania):
