Latest UFC rankings update: Conor McGregor gone at featherweight, Robert Whittaker tops Anderson Silva at 185

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently tied a ribbon around its UFC Fight Night 101 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which took place last Sat. night (Nov. 26, 2016) inside Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, live on FOX Sports 1 (results), and there was a lot to talk about when all was said and done.

You can thank Robert Whittaker for that.

The power-punching Aussie improved his standing in the crowded 185-pound division with a blistering first-round knockout over fellow middleweight slugger Derek Brunson (watch it), though today's big story, at least from a rankings perspective, may be the removal of Conor McGregor from the featherweight division.
