Five UFC division rankings were updated today as we have our first shakeup of 2026.

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.
