Pereira Hints at Retirement; Poirier Arrested; UFC AI Rankings Debut

June 23, 2026
AgentMMA.com
Quick read

Alex Pereira has hinted at a possible retirement, saying he is now afraid to return to the cage after what happened in his last fight and suggesting he may have already accomplished everything he set out to do. Dustin Poirier was arrested for public intoxication at Atlanta's airport on Father's Day, with the offense carrying a potential sentence of up to one year in Georgia. The UFC rolled out its long-promised AI-powered rankings, with notable differences from the traditional media rankings — Blachowicz, for example, appears 15th in light heavyweight rather than 4th, though the original journalist rankings will remain in use alongside the new system. Ian Garry also commented that Islam Makhachev fights only once a year and promised more activity and high-level matchups when he becomes champion.
