Yoel Romero&#8217;s dominant victory over Lyoto Machida propelled him into the top five of the middleweight division.<\/p>\n<p>With Romero moving up to the third spot, this knocked Vitor Belfort and Lyoto Machida down a peg. Machida remains in the top five, splitting the spot with former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Bisping and his next opponent Thales Leites swapped spots as Bisping is now ranked directly above him at #9.<\/p>\n<p>The women of the strawweight division saw some shifts as well. The popular Paige VanZant stepped above #8 ranked Maryna Moroz to earn the #7 spot in the division. Randa Markos and Tecia Torres is all that&#8217;s between VanZant and a top-five spot, now.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/rankings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official<\/a> rankings below!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pound-For-Pound\u2028<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
