After each live event, the UFC polls various members of the media to update its rankings in each weight division as well as the pound for pound rankings. With only a couple meaningful bouts at this past weekend's UFC 161, the biggest shake up was in the pound for pound rankings where Anderson Silva (http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/f/242FF47B616AC3E5/Anderson-Silva/) had been at the top since the introduction of the UFC's official rankings system.
