It hasn’t taken Brock Lesnar long to move into the UFC’s top ten, heavyweight rankings, after not fighting for nearly five years.

Lesnar worked his way to a unanimous decision win over contender Mark Hunt at UFC 200, and as a result, the pro-wrestling star has moved into the #8 ranking. Hunt, however, has dropped one spot and is now ranked #9.

In other rankings developments, Kelvin Gastelum jumped six spots in the welterweight ranks and is now sitting at #6. Former champ Johny Hendricks, who Gastelum decisioned at UFC 200, dropped to #8.

Eddie Alvarez leaped into the promotion’s pound-for-pound rankings as a result of his stoppage win over now former lightweight champ, Rafael dos Anjos. Alvarez is now ranked #8 in the P4P division. Dos Anjos dropped to #2 in the lightweight ranks. The two fought at UFC FN 90 last Thursday.
