Following his unanimous decision win over Paddy Pimblett at UFC 324, Justin Gaethje has claimed the interim lightweight title for the second time and risen to #1 in the lightweight rankings in the first UFC update of 2026. This positions Gaethje as the next challenger for undisputed champion Ilia Topuria upon his return. In women's flyweight, Natalia Silva defeated Rose Namajunas on the main card, securing her a likely title shot. These developments reshape the lightweight and flyweight divisions post-UFC 324, the first event of the year. Expect Gaethje vs. Topuria and Silva's title bout to headline major cards soon.
