Latest UFC rankings update: Donald Cerrone shines in Welterweight debut, drops four Lightweight spots

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently updated its official fighter rankings to reflect the results of its UFC Fight Night 83 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which took place last Sunday night (Feb. 22, 2016) inside CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Donald Cerrone headlined the event, making a splash in his Welterweight debut by submitting Alex Oliveira in the very first round (see it again here).

The win didn't do much for Cerrone's standing in the Lightweight division, however, as he inexplicably dropped four spots down to No. 9.
