Following UFC 324, Justin Gaethje claimed the interim lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Paddy Pimblett and now ranks #1, positioning him as next challenger to undisputed champion Ilia Topuria. Gaethje displaced Arman Tsarukyan to #2, with Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway dropping to #3 and #4. This update reflects Gaethje's second interim reign and sets up a massive unification bout. Topuria's return will test Gaethje's striking power. Meanwhile, Holloway defends BMF title against Oliveira at UFC 326.
