UFC-Rankings-Pound-for-Pound-P4P-and-Divisions-Updated-2026

Note: These UFC Rankings are updated after UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Pyfer.

What are UFC Rankings?

Ultimate Fighting Championship Rankings, or UFC Rankings, is an official list of top fighters in each weight class of UFC Promotion’s weight classes with a Pound-for-Pound (P4P) ranking. This rankings system was introduced in 2013 and determined by a voting panel that includes media members. These media members vote on the top fighters in the UFC by weight class and pound for pound (P4P). These rankings are usually updated weekly, mostly after each UFC event, to reflect recent performances by the fighters. 

It helps define the hierarchy and identify potential title challengers, ultimately leading to championship opportunities and identifying a potential, eligible champion in a specific division. However, some considerable points to be noted, which are:

  • The fighter must be active in the UFC.
  • A fighter can appear in more than one division at the same time.
  • The current champion of each weight class or division is considered to be in the top position; therefore, they are not eligible for voting by weight class. However, they can be voted for in Pound-for-Pound rankings.
  • The voter panel, which includes sportswriters, mixed martial arts experts, journalists, and broadcasters, was decided by the UFC officials and administration. They vote for the top fighter in each division and a pound-for-pound ranking.

What are UFC P4P Rankings?

Pound-for-Pound or P4P Rankings are separate rankings introduced on January 27, 2020. It is a ranking list of all top fighters across all weight classes, irrespective of their specific division.  However, there are separate P4P Rankings for men and women. Check out the updated P4P rankings as well as the divisional current UFC rankings below.

What Weight Classes are Included in UFC Rankings?

All UFC weight classes are included in UFC Rankings, and each weight class has its own ranking list. These classes include Flyweight, Bantamweight, Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, and Heavyweight. The female weight classes are Women’s Strawweight, Women’s Flyweight, and Women’s Bantamweight. However, UFC’s P4P Ranking list includes fighters from all weight classes and is separate for men and women.
