Quite a few new updates to the UFC's rankings post UFC Fight Night Ottawa. Here's a full list of what changed in each weight class. Some of the more interesting ones being Cowboy earning a ranking at 170 and Wonderboy moving into the #1 spot. Any thoughts?

Pound-for-Pound: No updates
Women's Straweight: There were a ton of changes here. Joanne Calderwood vaulted 5 spots from 12th to 7th after knocking out Valerie Letourneau, who fell from 5th to 9th. Taking Letourneau's former spot is Karolina Kowalkiewicz, while Jessica Andrade is placed at 6th. Paige VanZant slips down a notch to 10th, Jessica Penne goes two spots down to 12th, Randa Markos moves up to 13th, while Jessica Aguilar dips to 14th.
Flyweight: Ali Bagautinov beating an unranked Geane Herrera was good enough to get him to #9, sending Dustin Ortiz down to #10.
Women's Bantamweight: No updates
Men's Bantamweight: John Dodson is down from 8th to 9th, therefore leaving John Lineker in sole possession of the #8 spot.
Featherweight: No updates
Lightweight: Evan Dunham goes up to #13, dropping Rashid Magomedov to #14.
Welterweights: As mentioned earlier, Wonderboy is #1, Rory MacDonald is #2 (and will leave this list if he signs elsewhere). Demian Maia is tied for 3rd with Tyron Woodleyafter previously holding 4th. Likewise for Rick Story, who is now tied for 9th with Dong Hyun Kim. Donald Cerrone is now ranked after knocking out Patrick Cote, and he slots in at #14. Thiago Alves drops to 15, and Albert Tumenov drops off the list altogether.
Middleweights: Derek Brunson went up a spot to #10, as the inactive Tim Kennedyslipped further down to #11. Thiago Santos also rounds out the list at #15 after previously holding a tie for #14 with Rafael Natal.
Lightheavyweight: No updates
Heavyweight: Frank Mir rises to #11, while Derrick Lewis drops to #12. I don't get this. Brock Lesnar is available to rank, by the way.
