Conor McGregor has just taken a mammoth jump up the pound-for-pound rankings

The good news just keeps on coming for Conor McGregor.

A record was broken, a belt was won and all hype was backed up in the space of a 13 second demolition on Saturday night. McGregor's left hook brutally knocked out the then pound-for-pound number one Jose Aldo in the main event of UFC 194 and its impressiveness has not gone unnoticed among the MMA media. 'The Notorious' has shot up the pound-for-pound world rankings in Monday's update, finding himself in third place of the best fighters in the world. McGregor leapfrogged the likes of welterweight champion Robbie Lawler, heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum and bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw to move up nine places. The rankings are voted on by a group of MMA media members who now rank the undisputed UFC featherweight champion of the world just behind Demetrious Johnson and Jon Jones. Aldo, meanwhile, has dropped to sixth on the list after being defeated for the first time in ten years and knocked out for the first time in his career.
