Why it matters

  • Rakhmonov's unbeaten record and top-three ranking make his streak one of the most significant title-chase indicators in the division.
  • Bonfim's combination of striking volume, takedown rate, and submission threat at number ten signals a dangerous upward trajectory.
  • With multiple fighters carrying long winning runs simultaneously, the 170-pound weight class is stacked with momentum heading into the second half of 2026.
