What else will 2026 hold for the UFC world?

Could we see someone dethrone Islam Makhachev for the 2026 pound-for-pound top rank? The oddsmakers don't think so.

During the holidays, SportsBetting.ag posted odds for which fighter will be finish on top of the pound-for-pound rankings at year's end.

Makhachev is the odds-on favorite, and the Top 3 finishers from 2025 are the Top 3 favorites.

After those first three, however, the 2025 rankings and 2026 projections diverge quite a bit. Check out the full list below.

Islam Makhachev          -150

Ilia Topuria                   +600
