Quick read

UFC released its long-awaited AI-generated rankings, with notable differences from traditional media rankings — Blachowicz, for example, sits 15th at light heavyweight rather than fourth. Alex Pereira hinted at a possible retirement, saying the events inside the cage have left him fearful of competing again and that he feels he has already accomplished what he set out to do. Ian Garry promised that when he becomes welterweight champion he will defend the title far more frequently than Islam Makhachev, who he expects will not fight again until July 2027.
