UFC fighter rankings: Dustin Poirier cracks pound-for-pound top ten

Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker were expected to deliver a five-star fight on ESPN last weekend, and somehow it managed to exceed expectations. The two lightweights put on one of the best fights of the year in the headliner, with Poirier managing to pull out a decision victory.

That win made him the de-facto number one contender at 155 (since there are two champions right now), and moved him into the top ten of the mythical pound-for-pound list as well.

While the rest of the card was light on relevance, there was a fair amount of movement in most divisions this week.
