Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) crowned a new strawweight champion in the UFC Fight Night 157 main event, scheduled for five rounds on ESPN+ (but lasting only one) last Sat. (Aug. 31, 2019) from inside Universiade Sports Centre in Shenzhen, China.

Hometown hero Weili Zhang became China’s first UFC champion by smashing former 115-pound titleholder Jessica Andrade. The first-round finish (see it again here) sent “Bate Estaca” down to strawweight’s No. 1 contender spot and completely eliminated her from the pound-for-pound rankings.

Here’s how the rankings work, courtesy of UFC.com:

Rankings were generated by a voting panel made up of media members. The media members were asked to vote for who they feel are the top fighters in the UFC by weight-class and pound-for-pound. A fighter is only eligible to be voted on if they are in active status in the UFC. A fighter can appear in more than one weight division at a time. The champion and interim champion are considered to be in the top positions of their respective divisions and therefore are not eligible for voting by weight-class. However, the champions can be voted on for the pound-for-pound rankings.

Take a look at what the latest rankings field looks like courtesy of UFC.com. Note: (+/- = movement in rankings, T = tie, *NR = Not previously ranked).
