While Cigano fell among the heavyweights, Dos Anjos gained more positions in the weight-for-weight ratio, which does not take categories into account.

The Brazilian is now behind the champion Fabricio Werdum quality Cain Velazquez, Andrei Arlovski e Stipe Miocic. Interestingly, Cigano still remains ahead of his tormentor Overeem.
