UFC launches AI rankings; Pereira hints at retirement; Garry promises more title defenses

June 23, 2026

Quick read

The UFC has released its long-anticipated AI-generated rankings, which produce notably different placements from the traditional media rankings — for example, placing Jiri Prochazka 15th at light heavyweight rather than fourth. Alex Pereira hinted at possible retirement, saying he is now afraid to return to competition after what happened in his last fight and feels he may have already accomplished everything he set out to do. Ian Garry, meanwhile, pledged to be a far more active welterweight champion than Islam Makhachev has been at lightweight, claiming Islam fights only once a year and that his own title reign would bring more high-level activity to the division.
