Tony Ferguson is finally a top-15 lightweight – a testament to both his recent success and the depth of the 155-pound division. With a win over Gleison Tibau this past weekend at UFC 184 – his fifth straight, and his 11th in his past 12 bouts – Ferguson has finally moved out of his honorable-mention slot and earned a place in the division’s top 15 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA rankings. However, he wasn’t the only fighter on the move. While the women took the spotlight this past weekend (and will soon have their own rankings on MMAjunkie), a few of their male counterparts moved up the ranks. Check out all the divisions above.
