UFC released its first official rankings update of 2026 following UFC 324. Justin Gaethje claimed #1 lightweight spot after interim title win over Paddy Pimblett, bumping Arman Tsarukyan to #2, Charles Oliveira to #3, and Max Holloway to #4. Holloway and Oliveira set for BMF title rematch at UFC 326. Waldo Cortes-Acosta held #5 heavyweight despite win; Derrick Lewis fell to #10, Marcin Tybura up to #8. This shakeup positions Gaethje as next challenger for Ilia Topuria's undisputed lightweight title at Freedom 250 on June 14, intensifying division title picture.[1]
