Many fighters delighted in Conor McGregor's loss at UFC 196 - and it wasn't just his divisional rivals.

Former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson posed for a picture after the fight highlighting their positions as number one and two respectively in the UFC Pound For Pound rankings.

In the build-up to Saturday night, McGregor has claimed he was one to nine in the P4P list.

I'm number one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Maybe Jon and Mighty Mouse is 10. That's what I feel.

McGregor's loss to Nate Diaz has undoubtedly removed the aura of invincibility which he had shrouded himself in. It has also seen him tumble down the P4P list.

The Dubliner was at number three prior to the fight. In the updated list, he's at number eight.

Frankie Edgar has moved up two places on the list. Out injured for more than the last month, the 34-year-old's recovery must be going smoothly.
