Here’s the latest on UFC rankings by weight class, based on recent public updates:

Notes:

• Rankings are periodically updated by UFC after each major event, so the exact order can shift week to week.
• The official UFC rankings page (ufc.com/rankings) is the best source for the current, precise lists by weight class and pound-for-pound. I can pull the latest exact tables for you if you’d like.
