Ranking Update

UFC's new AI rankings draw praise and criticism from MMA community

June 23, 2026

Quick read

The UFC's newly introduced AI-generated rankings have removed several veteran names — including Andrade, Derrick Lewis, and Brian Ortega — from divisional top-15 lists, which has been broadly welcomed. However, the absence of a pound-for-pound list and questionable placements such as Kevin Borjas at flyweight No. 10 — despite a 2-4 UFC record and no finishes — have drawn sharp criticism. The AI rankings are currently running in parallel with the traditional media rankings, and matchmaking will continue to be guided by the older system for the time being.
