With UFC 203 in the books, this week’s USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA rankings have a few changes. Chief among them is bantamweight Jimmie Rivera (20-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who earned a clearcut decision win over Urijah Faber (33-10 MMA, 9-6 UFC) at the weekend event. With the result, Rivera now boasts an impressive 19-fight winning streak and earns his way in to the top 10 for the first time in his career. UFC women’s strawweight Jessica Andrade (15-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) also made a nice run up the charts with her first-round finish of Joanne Calderwood (11-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC). Meanwhile, despite a few key contests in in the featured bouts of UFC 203, the top of the heavyweight ranks stayed largely unaffected
