The king has re-taken his throne. Jon Jones, the longtime chart-topper in the pound-for-pound rankings and the light heavyweight division, has taken back both of those elite spots with his third-round stoppage win over Daniel Cormier at UFC 214. He became the first man to stop fellow P4P-ranked Cormier, and that was enough to push by Demetrious Johnson for the number one position again.

UFC 214 did cause some ripples in other divisions as well, including a new challenger at 205 rising a couple of spots with a big win.
