Latest UFC rankings update: Stephen Thompson, Donald Cerrone taking over 170 pounds

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently tied a ribbon around its UFC Fight Night 89 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which took place inside TD Place Arena in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (results), and there was a lot to talk about when all was said and done.

You can thank Stephen Thompson and Donald Cerrone for that.

"Wonderboy" continued his march through the welterweight division by turning away former division No. 1 contender Rory MacDonald in the five-round main event (see it). "Cowboy," meanwhile," put the rest of the 170-pound division on notice by stopping the venerable Patrick Cote (replay).
